But, to some of us, we would have rather had our candidate of choice than to see Obama elected. Just because the vote was historical, that doesn't make us feel better.

The people vote aka the popular vote, determines which candidate gets the electoral votes.

And idiocy has affected people on both sides of the aisle. And anyone who thinks differently should have their head checked.
Republicans aren't the enemy. I hope some people on this site would realize that and understand that we're not bad people.

Just got back from the McCain party at the Biltmore. We all couldn't believe that he conceded so soon.
Then again, most of us predicted it while waiting for the shuttles to get over the the Biltmore. We all hit the bar line right away and double fisted all night.

For those who didn't watch, Nader said something about Obama has to choose if he'll become Uncle Sam or Uncle Tom.

*breathing into paper bag*

A friend of mine debated Nader when he appeared in CT. He has run his course.

YES WE CAN!!!
I'm really excited for the upcoming inauguration. His speech was a lot better than I expected (and I already had pretty high expectations)

No one ever said that, man....
But you have some extremists on both sides ( agree to this I know) that just don't know how to act...and to be honest with you....some people this time around got seriously ugly...uglier than I have ever seen in my life...so that is why i feel the way that I do....if you are going to be a negative person,regardless on which side you are on....take it with you as you exit.
Neither side of the aisle needs that BS
Ksig...it's all cool.

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.

But KSigkid, you have to admit, the party as it stands today does not deserve the "Grand Old Party" moniker. The inmates are running the asylum and the fiscal conservatives and small-government conservatives have been lost beneath the pile of social issues and scare-tactics and name-calling the people that are now considered the "base" have been allowed to make its face. I personally don't feel anything negative toward "Republicans" because I don't even recognize them anymore, I'm just glad the hard-right-loonies didn't have their way. Unfortunately, most people equate them with "Republican". Don't get touchy that people are reacting strongly about the extreme righties, if that's not you, that's not who they're talking about. Don't take the whole burden of the failed party on your shoulders, either. The boys at the controls of the party machine need to break out the manual and get to tinkering if they want to get it back up and running. 'Cause that thing is done broke.

Yup. I was watching it and had to do a double-take and rewind that part just because I couldn't believe he had actually said it. I hope they put a video of it up soon.

glad it's over. not thrilled with the outcome. but i will move on.
i understand and appreciate the historical significance.....i just really wonder if i will be proud or ashamed to tell my children i did not vote for Obama......only time will tell.
congrats to those who campaigned for him. many of my friends spent long days doing just that, so i understand the effort made.
