Congradulations to all of you. Finding something positive as a conservative, I would like to say that I am very proud of our Nation to have elected a NON-White President. Barack Obama is a very smart guy. He has run a stellar campaign. I hope that his administration is equally as impressive.

I know he won't be the Messiah He'll make mistakes. And he won't be able to fix everything at once. We'll probably suffer through a recession for the next year. But I hope he can be inspiring like Roosevelt was.

California may be in the bag for Obama, but at least people still care about it because of its electoral votes. Utah's the reddest state and nobody needs its 5 measly votes Of course, you're right. My hope is that the news discourages conservatives from voting and prop 8 goes down. Westerners, get out there and vote if you haven't yet!

Originally Posted By talaner I would also like to congratulate the "opposition party." Ohio was the deciding factor; Republican's just can't seem win the White House without it. I will also be proud to be among the first of American generations to be governed by an African American President of the United States. A truly magnificent and historical event! God's speed, Barack Obama! We're counting on you and all of our elected officials to lead us through these difficult times.
