I have read 2 blogs that best sum up my feelings about this election...
Candice's blog
and one that Mike Huckebee (who was my choice for President all along) posted on his myspace:
We Will Be Back in Strength
by Mike Huckabee
I'm very proud to have supported Senator McCain and the only regret is that more Americans didn't share my conviction that he would have made an outstanding President. I not only recognize, but respect that we are a nation in which the people choose and tonight they have chosen Senator Obama. He was not my choice, but he will be my President and I will pray for him to lead this great nation with God's help and grace. He will face serious challenges to lead our country and he will need all Americans to give him a chance.
The campaign is over and now is the time for governing and leading. The Republican Party must now reassess where it is and where it is going. Our problem is not that our views aren't acceptable, it is that many in our party have abandoned the very principles that once drew Americans to trust us. Our party will be back with strength, but tonight we should all celebrate the historic nature of this election and put our country ahead of our party.
As disappointed as I am that we have lost the election, I can't help but feel that many courageous leaders of the civil rights movement look down from heaven tonight with a smile that the day has come when a man is elected without regard to his color. I salute President-elect Obama for his discipline and tenacity that has given our country the opportunity to witness this significant event.
Politics is not an event but a process. We sometimes lose the events but it never gives us the right to stop being faithful to our principles that enlisted us in the process. We shall live to fight another day.
In short - like him or not, Obama will be our President for the next 4 years. I feel as an American, our country should unite as one and support our leader. Division will only make us weaker.... and that is just what the enemy is hoping for.

Thank you for sharing that other blog. I agree... we can't let this divide our country. Like I said in my blog (thanks for linking it btw, hehe), I just hope that Obama is able to prove me wrong and follow through with all the good things he says he has in store.
At least we could say we were around for such a historic event! lol
yeah, of course i saw it... i had to..
he does have a huge job ahead of him...
i'm holding on to God above all... we'll see what's in store for our President and us... :/
