Nature's Nasty Cure-All

President Barack Obama

As I spent most of my evening glued to my television, watching the electoral votes coming rolling in for Senator, now President elect Obama, I have never been more proud of my country.

Having supported the Gore/Liberman ticket in 2000, and voted for the Kerry/Edwards ticket in 2004, there were times when I wondered if American politics would ever go my way. Tonight I watched history be made. I can't wait to someday, many years from now, tell my grandchildren what I was doing on the night that America elected, not only the first African-American president, but the first president to lay out a plan for an America that I yearned to live in.

I'm elated, euphoric, relieved and hopeful as I look forward to Obama's first term in the White House.

Tomorrow I plan to track down all my friends, family and acquaintances who said this would never happen, and rub Obama's political win in their faces. But that's tomorrow, tonight I'm going to celebrate this great win for our country and the world.

Election Reults 2008

After what seems like the world's longest campaign season Election Day 2008 is FINALLY here! Though I'm definitely not a morning person, you're lucky to catch me out of bed before 11 am, my husband Ty and I sprang out of bed promptly at 9 am. That alone is nothing short of a MIRACLE! We did our morning workout, showered, dressed and headed out to our polling place: the Montana ExpoPark.

Voting was awesome. There were four of us and it took a total of 15 minutes max for us to get in and out. Ty was snagged by an exit poller on the way out...he was so excited!

I was especially proud of my brothers Matt and Jacob. This was their first general election and they dove into it with gusto. Jacob spent two hours before he went to work calling/texting all of his friend and encouraging/badgering them to vote. Ah....I'm such a proud older sister!

I'm so excited...and increasingly anxious. If you're like me, and want to stay up-to-date with all the latest election news, here's a list of some of Mahalo's awesome election coverage pages. Check them out!
