This is my fav time of the year (or every 4 years to be exact) and I love watching every second of news coverage during election night. This was truly a historic election, no matter what the outcome was.
McCain started out up (which was wctually surprising to me) but then all of a sudden as the 8pm et poles closed, Obama gained over a 100 point lead over McCain which had me worried, but I knew McCain's states were not yet projected, and this would be a long evening. Typical of me, I was too tired at 10:30 and headed off to bed.
I had a small hope that McCain could pull through even after losing a few key states, but sure enough, the 6am news started with announcing that the USA has it's first African-American president: Barack Obama.
While I am a strong McCain supporter because of my morals (and Republican being the Canadian equivilant of Conservative), I am an Obama supporter because of his sincerity, passion, and pride for his country and his new position. This is especially true after watching his acceptance speech this morning on perezhilton.com. I was very very moved. Had I been American, I would be a very proud citizen and proud of the new President. I truly believe he will change the country and affect the world with his leadership.
