Not to get too into politics or anything...but did everyone watch the election coverage last night? When McCain gave his speech I felt really bad for him, it was so sad! I am a little dissapointed McCain lost by so many electoral votes, but I think no matter who won we are in for a change for the better. What are your thoughts?

I am very hopeful that things will progress in a positive way, for our country. I am an Obama supporter, however I was a little sad for McCain during his speech! I felt really bad for him, and that surprised me! I was also surprised by the popular vote! Neck and neck huh! Let's hope Obama can bring the change we all desperately need!

My thoughts are that no matter who's there we're up for a continuation of the change for the worse.

Since I couldn't make up my mind which is the lesser evil and it was obvious who was being groomed for the win, I was really wondering yesterday whether to vote for a president or not at all and finally decided to make a statement making ME feel better by filling out the bubble for Barr. In my mind it spells out "the hell with that two-headed monster"! I guess 0.6% felt the same way. I know, I know... nobody’s gonna lose any sleep over my statement.

A change for the worse, that's what I see coming with Obama, and the extra help he'll be getting from the House and the Senate.

I'm still trying to figure out how somebody, who received contributions and endorsements from terrorist groups Hamas and the PLO, who have had nothing but hatred for Israel and the United States, get elected for President?

With his socialist agenda, don't be surprised if you see the name USSA. United Socialist States of America.

"United Socialist States of America."

That's good, I haven't heard that before. Were you in Minnesota at a McCain rally?

Obama won convincingly. I guess, if McCain had picked a stronger running mate, he might have picked up a few votes, but Obama was pretty much always going to win. It's hard to second guess these things. But if McCain had selected Hilary Clinton for his VP he would definitely have won!
