As a conservative, Obama definitely wasn't my pick. But, neither was McCain. My vote didn't go to either of them.

Anyway, now that Obama is the next president, I'm content to reserve judgement until I see what happens. One thing is certain, Repubs lately have given me very little reason to support them. They've sucked on a large variety of issues. So really, I didn't have much desire to see the same sort of repub keep things going. This stark contrast that Obama will present is actually preferable in some ways, if all it does is show repubs what a sorry lot they've been lately.

As forward thinking as many of these other countries claim to be, re: America losing credibility, etc, wonder how long it is until those countries elect a minority as their Chief Commander ?
