• What IF McCain had won?

  I think, perhaps, I would’ve been bummed out (compared to flying high today!) a little bit, but it’s not like I thought the guy was going to do a horrible job (that was reserved for his running mate’s potential). In fact, a long time ago I thought McCain was an okay fella. Maybe I even blogged about it, but there was an interview he did where they asked him how he felt about being linked to the war if he ran for president. He didn’t beat around the bush: “I guess I’ll deal with that when it happens.” He didn’t state that he kinda was for the war then wasn’t or whatever. He stood by the decision, as crappy as it was (in my opinion). Since then, his crankiness (maverick-ness?) started to wear on me. It dominoed from there.

  I’m sincerely hoping that Obama doesn’t get trampled on by the media and by those who didn’t vote for him. I highly doubt he’ll be able to accomplish every wonderful thing his most-devoted follower would want. He may disappoint us from time to time, he has too big of a mess to clean up, and he’s human (not our savior). We have many weeks before Bush packs up, so I guess we’ll have to just “wait and see.”

  I’m finally, though, just really proud to be an American.
