Election time has come and gone.

The elections are finally over. I am so happy about this. The last bit of finality will be the Coleman and Franken race. I actually heard a radio personality say "Why is Norm Coleman trying to steal the election?" WTF how can he steal it, he won it, but still seems fishy how lead of over 1000 has dwindled to just under 400 in a couple of days.

Well lets see my guy didn't win. In all honesty it was an up hill battle from the start. I think the Republicans are going to have to do some serious soul searching. They have lost touch with the core beliefs of conservatism. I myself included. Might motivate me to become more politically active. The only positive thing I saw on the McCain/Palin ticket was Palin. I think she exhibited true conservative beliefs. I did think it was pretty funny how quickly she left the stage after the concession speech. Look like there may have been a bit of a wall put up between them. My opinion she was being held back.

As far as Barack Obama. I am proud of the fact a black man can be elected to the most powerful position in the world. I will admit I would have never voted for him. But it was due to his promises that are going to be very tough for him to fufill. I think will be his demise. I am frigthen by a quote of young woman saying "I don't have to worry about my mortgage, and I don't have to worry about putting gas in my car." I just wonder how much she thinks she gonna get. At best his redistribution would be $500. That ain't much. I also hope he is more of a centerist then he looks. His past political record does not look good for smallbusiness and markets have not responded well. Since he was elected two days after the Dow Jones has dropped 900+ points largest post election drop ever. The markets a generally a 6 to 9 month indicater to future economic changes.

He is all about change what exactly no one knows. But I hope it is enough to motivate this countryto become greater than ever. I wish him and our country luck.
