November

Ahh, life in Colorado in November. What leaves are left are golden, and the winter is just around the corner. Walking the dogs is still tolerable.

Today, I walked the pooches around a few blocks and noticed just how many Obama posters there were in my neighborhood. It's funny, but I found myself realizing I don't think I saw a single McCain sign around Denver during the whole recent part of the campaign. I liked that.

But, I realized there are, in fact, quite a lot of McCain supporters out there. My facebook status updates showed me that. Facebook is crazy, by the way, but that's a whole 'nother story. Anyway, I feel for those McCain people because I know what it's like to have the guy you want to win get beaten. I was never a Bush voter.

I have to say that I am very proud of this country, and my faith in our populace is renewed. On tuesday we showed the world that we do not want this war anymore. We showed the world that we are finally trying our hardest to overcome racism and to see people for who they really are and what they bring, from the inside, to the table. Immediately the US is more liked around the globe. I felt the most proud to be a part of this country I've ever felt on Tuesday night.

It's time for us all to get behind this guy. I can't wait to see what he can do.
