The election is over! And Halloween Pics

The election has finally ended and I can honestly say I am proud to have been a part of such an historic moment in our country's history.

McCain's concession speech was very nice. If he had been that gracious throughout the campaign, I think he would have had a much better chance of winning.

Obama's acceptance speech was inspiring. Let's hope he can really unite the country and get us moving in a better direction.

And now, better late than never, our ghost and ninja. It was the warmest Halloween I can remember in a long time. And by 8 it was raining pretty good so we didn't have any late trick or treaters.

Pre-schoolers for Obama

We've had that magnet on the fridge only for 2 or 3 days. We were watching the Rachel Maddow Show and they showed a clip from an Obama rally. Lily saw the logo and excitedly said, "We have that magnet!" She ran to get it off the fridge, then held it up--"See? It's the same!"

What? Me, interested in politics?

I've been following these campaigns more than I ever have. I have actually read and listened to speeches given at the conventions. Amazing. I've never really done that before.

Though I've been putting it off, I just have to mention Sarah Palin. Does anyone else think it's hypocritical for the McCain camp to attack Obama for his lack of experience and then picks someone who has less experience than Obama?

Also, why would you choose someone who seems to have a record of firing people for personal reasons and is under investigation for abuse of power? And one of these times was because she wanted some books taken out of the local library but the librarian refused?

And does anyone else find it....what's the word I'm looking for....ironic? Ridiculous? Sad? That Palin advocates abstinence only sex-ed, but her teenage daughter is pregnant?

To be fair, I searched for "scandals" surrounding Joe Biden, and all I could find was that over 20 years ago he once plagiarized part of a paper for school.

In other news

John McCain doesn't know how many houses he owns.

Seriously???

How is this guy even running for president?
