Although I'm too old and crotchety to stay up and watch the results, I can say that even from 5,000 miles away, I managed to throw a vote to Obama. My friend Rene has made a fantastic poster to show his support.
Today one of the free London papers had a cover showing a white Obama and a black McCain. Really bizarre and sort of creepy. One of the headlines read "it's a race thing." Maybe I'll feel differently once this is all over, but right now, from what I can see in Jolly old, it really feels like it isn't a race thing. At all. And I'm proud of Americans for that. Because based on some of the coverage here, to the outside world, it is a race thing. God bless the UK press--they've really made me feel less badly about being an American. Frankly I can't believe that I'm so bored that I've started blogging about current events. How often does that happen? (Dear god I've also started taking yoga)
Yes, it happened to be one of my life goals ;)
