Saturday

Back to work after having been out several days... Thrilled to death over the election/ we watched all night as the results came in... First time in forever that I have been this wrapped up in an election, or the voting process. Happy beyond happy, and despite starting out is a Hillary guy, I have to say that Obama adds something more. Probably not having the feel of being a part of a political machine that comes with the Clinton's (or the Bush administration), his youth, the vitality of his family... Not the color of his skin, although that alone is reason for celebration. Wouldnt it be great if this was the beginning of the end (or the END of the end) of racial tensions?
As a sidenote, I think its interesting and I am not at all surprised that Sarah Palin has apparently been thrown under the bus by her own party. Gotta have a scapegoat. I think between her star eclipsing that of her running mate, and the general ineptness and ill-preparedness that she displayed certainly made her an easy choice. Her downfall, if it can be called that yet, was totally an inside job...
