Election

I think this is an amazing time of life! We have witnessed something in our country that an underprivileged group has only "dreamed" of for so long. Finally someone came along with the chops to make it happen. Kudos to Obama.

I do agree with Jaime about the electoral votes. It seems like this should be reconfigured since it doesn't seem to serve the same purpose it did when the process was conceived. I don't agree that a little state like NH (no offense) should have more voting "power" than a more populated state. It doesn't make sense. Plus, in our technologically advanced voting system, I think there has to be a better process - like actually applying the "popular" vote.

And you know that it was really Oprah that got hm elected. Not that I care other than he is democrat and that concerns me, but maybe he will do a great job, for whatever freedom he really has to say or do anything. I hate politics as you all know, but I vote because it is my right to complain if I want to and you can't do one without the other. "How do you like that?" (quote from Brayden as he is punching Natalie because she has made him mad. It was so funny, I laughed my head off.

Nice. But you have to remember when you were voting for Carter. I do. I remember you telling me that we vote Democratic because Democrats are "for" the poor people.
