Fucking hell. I am in awe. We (restoftheworld) are watching America with awe. I cannot believe this has happened in my life time. This could not happen in England.

This is why America is the light on the hill.

Yeah, but you guys put a broad in charge first.

Woo Hoo!!! I did my part and voted for Obama, and against the gay marriage ban, and the requirement for girls to notify their parents about abortion. I would like to add, John McCain showed a lot of class, and grace in his concession speech.

@ Syc: True. As time passes, and the wounds heal (*smiles*) I see her more and more as a trail blazer and less as a wolf in sheeps clothing.

We still have very poor female participation in politics though. And female presence in top executive positions in the city and industry is actually reducing. I think we've actually taken a step back in numbers in the House of Commons as well.

I'm sooooo happy!!! I can do my happy dance now!

(I'm also exhausted as I was up so early to go vote zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Radar, Libertarians don't vote for socialists -- if they're libertarian. We'll need more balance in Washington than we'll be getting over the next couple of years, I fear.

DanaC · 11-04-2008, 10:55 PM

Libertarians dont tell people how to vote, if they're libertarian. Libertarians don't attach themselves to a party ticket that binds them politically to a fixed set of ideological tenets and loyalties.

elSicomoro · 11-04-2008, 10:56 PM

I believe this is the counterbalance to 8 years of a Republican presidency and 12 of 14 years of Republican congressional control.

lol. Yeah, 'cause the word that immediately springs to mind when considering the last eight years in Washington, is 'balance'.

After you have built your house, does the first wall erected disdain the last wall to be put up? Where would your home be without all four walls? Do you really want nothing between you and, say, Alaska?

Obama was the most libertarian candidate running including Bob Barr.

The word springing immediately to my mind is "footdragging." I've been quite pleased over the last seven years with how the Federal level of government has largely confined its central effort to foreign policy -- this outward concentration has minimized any tendency to meddle with the nation in the manner so characteristic of the Clinton Administration. That's how I prefer things to go in our Republic.

Radar: no.

You'd really be a better man if you could pass an entire day without lying on the political forum, you know.

Actually, you don't know.

Now Dana, party people do. Think about it half a minute.
