I must admit that I didn't study the candidates' platforms word for word but the highlights made me vote Obama.

It may have been wrong of me but when I looked at McCain, I kept seeing Bush and the prospect of Sarah Palin for 4 years - whether she was VP or President. I didn't want that to happen to the country I love.

Honestly, congratulations to all the Obama voters. I obviously wasn't voting for him, but I'm happy for you all that you got to see your candidate elected. Congrats.

KSig, I respect you so much. You're very gracious and kind. Not at all like the rude people who sent you messages. God Bless.

Be thankful...because now she won't have to leave Earth.

Oh, and sister Nittany, you're not the only one. I just got off the phone with my mom and we cried together!

My tears are still coming. I'm beyond stoked. I truly can't explain what I'm feeling but I don't have to because many of you know what I'm feeling because you are feeling it too!

Now I have to find out what's going on with Prop 8 here in California.

Seeing Jesse Jackson cry made me cry more which Mike found funny b/c he knows I can't stand the man.

This is more painful than originally thought. And, I got another nasty Facebook message.

If anyone wants to punch me in the gut right now, it's a good time...

Aww, while I am supremely happy, there is no need to rub it in.

I hope that Obama can unite the country and lead us all together into better times.

There are lots of tears flowing here as well. I was choking up but when I saw Jesse Jackson I lost it!

I didn't expect any anyway.

I am a fan of this speech on the point that he mentioned how proud his grandmother must be of him in heaven.
