Really bizarre feeling.. I'm sitting here watching the day/evening unfold and feeling really quite 'emotional' .. not in the crying sort of way.. more just in a 'wow, this is so historic, great to be here' kind of way...

It wasn't something that i had expected to feel.. its not my country..but I find myself genuinely interested in what is going to happen... I'm touched by what the voters are saying and the reasons why this is the first time they have ever voted.. Watching the crowds in Time Square and in Chicago is really quite something..

Now, you have to understand.. I actually have NO clue whatsoever what is going on.. they can show every type of graph, prediction slideshow etc.. Its all lost on me!!!

I think.. wait.. no, I think I may actually be beginning to feel a connection with this country.. (or it could just be indigestion)

Well, you already felt a connection with that poor lady's husband. Why stop there? Hussy. Scarlet woman. Etc.

Oh dear you've finally lost it

Listen, even I stopped at Grandads.. and just for the record.. I got a very low score in Ray's slut test.. so there!

Its not good Vic, not good at all... !!!

I just have to get through one more night of working with them In a way I've found it quite interesting hearing what every day American's think and was rather gob smacked to learn that not all black people are voting for Obama.

Ahhhh, you beat me to it - I would have gone for white wine though.

I feel proud that the country seems to have thrown off the ennui that it has been accused of (on here as well) and realized that now is the time to be heard.

I guess I should thank the current POTUS for this response to a call for action..

TruBrit

i think so

TruBrit

that's interesting. there is one black family in our subdivision and he told my OH last week that he's a McCain man.

TruBrit

it could well be chuck

i'm not emotional at all over it but this is history in the making.....

sambapink

Cindy, I love ya dearly.. but I have no idea what you just said I have no doubt that it was very intellectual.. which is why it has no room on my thread

(only joking!)

sambapink

I haven't even started drinking, yet!

Translation-people giving a rat's ass, instead sitting in a stupor,

It would appear from my husband's informal poll, that the black soliders at the NYS Guard are also voting McCain. Seems the military is in his corner.
