Thoughts on the outcome of the election


My thoughts about the outcome of the election are depicted in the picture perfectly. It is a terrible time to be a Republican, and I think that last night's election carried this thought out completely. Not only has Obama won the President, but the Democrats have taken the majority of The House and The Senate. I think that this drastic change of parties in the offices has shown how fed up people are with the government. People are dissatisfied with how the government has been running things, all Obama had to do was say he wanted to do the exact opposite of what Bush did in The White House, and he did it successfully. Because Obama said he wanted to reform everything, this caused an increase in voter registrants, which helped the outcome of the election. Voters, who are voting for Obama, are naturally going to vote Democrat for the Senate and House.

I figured that this would be the outcome of the election, merely because people are fed up with the Republican Party. I did expect that John McCain would at least win Virginia, considering that it has voted for the Republican Party since 1964. But, once McCain lost Virginia, I knew that Obama was going to be the president. At that point, that was the only battleground state left, and McCain had not won any at that point.

I am excited (should I be worried?) to see what the Democrats are going to do in Office, and want to see if Obama is going to give the people what he promised.

It should be interested but I am excited to be a part of the history of the moment. Great picture. I wonder if McCain could have done more of the "not bush" tactic what effect it would have had.
