I caucused for him in the Iowa Caucuses in January and supported him throughout his entire journey to the presidency.
I am proud to have done that for Barack Obama.
Here's the caucus video I shot:

Any thoughts about the results of this election?
Finally, I can put the last 8 years behind me.
Unfortunately this is a big loss for comedians, some of whom I'm sure voted for McCain in the hopes of Palin providing them with endless material for a few years. :tongueout:

Did ya get a look at that electoral ass kicking? :teddyr:
McCain really shot his campaign in the foot with picking Palin as his running mate. If the woman had had a clue about anything, than maybe she wouldn't have been such a hinderance to his changes of winning the white house.
The popular vote was pretty close though, but it's nice for the popular vote to actually be the same result as the electoral vote.
Whoo, lorry. I'm agreeing with Menard, again. The gun is good, the Zap is bad!
Then I guess that "Sera Paylin" porno movie is already obsolete only days after its release.

Porn is never obsolete... :thumbup:

All I would like to say is "God bless America" ~ I hope that the new person in town will be the best man for the job and that all will go well for you in the coming four years. :thumbup: :cheers:
Congrats to Mr. Obama and may we see peace and prosperity in the coming four years. :thumbup:
Well done Obama :thumbup:

I'm considering getting that porn movie. I've seen part of the beginning where the actress who plays "Sara Palin" who I would have to say if her voice was different I would not be able to tell the difference between the two at all.

Virtual karma for Dr Menard and his dancing bananas! :thumbup:
the reason he won: the 8 years of pure hell that has been the bush regimes tenure.
While he wasn't my candidate (neither was McCain, really), I wish him the best of luck. He ran a good campaign, taking the high road (most of the time), while McCain took the bad advice of his handlers and ran a dirty campaign, slinging mud all over the place. May this election mark a change toward more high-road campaigns and away from all the name calling. Back when Bob Dole ran against Clinton, a similar thing happened--after the election, Dole went on the David Letterman show and was funny, personable and charming, while during the campaign, he came across as mean, dour, and all too serious. While I can't say it cost him the election, I dare say he would have done better letting the "real" him shine instead of running a dirty campaign. Same with McCain: If he had let his personality come through instead of listening to his handlers, he might have done better. At any rate, congratulations to Obama, and may the country prosper in coming years!
No candidate can be all things to all people but I'm glad Obama won because I think he is most likely to wash the taste of the past 8 years out of my mouth. I wish him well because he has a long hard road ahead of him. That goes for many of us.
I really wish we could keep Palin around for entertainment purposes. Someone should give her a talk show or appoint her Federal Jester or something.
My congratulations to all the candidates nationwide who won their elections yesterday, from our new President-elect on down. I wish every one of them success and wisdom, and hope they guide us with honesty and intelligence. Good luck in tough times to the American people, whatever their political leanings, and here's to wishing the next four years on planet earth are the best they can be.
she should never have signed on to the campaign. I wonder what she thought of like McCain-Feingold. or mcCain kennedy.
they didn't seem to be on the same page ideologically at all

Hmmm...
Maybe I should start a Palin thought of the day on my website.
She would naturally be under Indy...
...oh...that didn't come out right :buggedout:
Thoughts?
Legal issues? (it would be in parody)
Despite being sick as all get out, I still made it to the polls and helped history happen, then watched Barack win on TV! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Obama has changed the way presidential elections will be run from now on. He had quite a network of volunteers setup for canvasing voters, getting people registered to vote, and getting them to the polls to vote.
He raised an ungodly amount of money direct from the people through the internet with the average donation being like $86.
I especially proud that he did all this without resorting to any kind of negative personal attacks his opponent.
I'm also glad he won in a landslide the way he did. Now we get to wait and see if he can bring people together and get us out of the mess Bush has left us.

Living in Toledo I can honestly say that I am glad the tv ads and the phone messages are now over.

I live in VA and I never thought that I would see in my lifetime my state vote democratic for President. The last time VA did that was in 1964 for Lyndon B. Johnson.

I'm quite worried about David Letterman because even if McCain had won, he'd still be capable of forming sentences. Obama's a fine speaker too. The glittering era of Letterman's "Great Moments In Presidential Speechmaking" is nearly over! Unless Joe Biden sustains a serious head injury in a fast hurry, we're going to be pretty bereft of some serious laughs.
We can only hope the "W" blooper tapes are released quickly, before the moment passes.
Honestly, I think McCain made a good effort -- people are so disenchanted with the Republican Party that I'm surprised the vote was as close as it is. It would have been interesting, in a totally undesirable way, to find out what he would have actually done in the Oval Office. I think he chose Palin because she would (and did) appeal to a specific group whose votes he wanted. And she sure helped distance him from the Bush-Cheney contingent.
I still think Obama looks like a store mannequin, but I think he was the better candidate. Scrod bless us, every one!

That was what had me cheering for him, as an interested neighbour. He had the most positive and innovative campaign I've seen at that level. He came off as somebody who is sincere about doing things differently, open to unconventional solutions and capable of using all the tools currently at his disposal, not to mention someone who is capable of inspiring people. McCain's campaign was fairly unremarkable.
As somebody looking at America from the outside, I have to say you've got the guy you need at this particular time.

Torgo! You can't show a picture like that! Her imperfections haven't been airbrushed out of it and as such that's TOTALLY sexist! What are you, one those Newsweek dirtbags (http://www.accesshollywood.com/newsweek-under-fire-for-sarah-palin-cover_article_11600) or something?! :hatred:
Heh heh. :tongueout:
You mean, the Bush Legacy ends?!:buggedout:
I just can't imagine-- wow! I mean, is there a world out there after all?
I dunno about you, but I want 8 years of my life-back!

I voted for
BARACK OBAMA though I had long been an ardent
JOHN McCAIN admirer, but not supporter for President.
McCAIN squandered his "brand" catering to
BUSH,
FALWELL and the Christian Right, compromising and jockeying to center where it really would have mattered to have that
McCAIN gusto...
Anyway, I came to recognize the powerful symbolic nature of what electing the talented
BARACK OBAMA would mean to the world at large; a man of color with an Arab name our President... much of America's prestige and respect would be restored and more importantly the argument against our people as racist significantly undermined. We might be justly characterized as fickle, but we cannot be described as ardent or fundamentalist. Americans adapt and all hope for a change for the better. America proved we are better than we seem, we can change, adapt, and embrace any person of talent and determination as our President.

Yeah. At least now we have a president who can make good speeches. Things are looking up. I don't know if Obama will be a good president or not, but I'm willing to give him a shot.
