Oh What a Night!

Well, well what a night! No matter who you are pulling for, on either side..this has been one heck of a study in our Democratic process. When 10 year-olds are walking around and able to carry a conversation with senior citizens about a candidate; there is something special happening. New life has been pumped into the American political process. Tonight was just the beginning, especially here in California, and we have experienced it all...wrong ballots for voting, not enough ballots, voting locations closed-then re-opened (even while the state was already called for a candidate). In the Bay area alone, it was reported that SF had the highest turn out in 30 years! All around the country people sitting on the edge of their seats, watching every percentage point, guessing every delegate count-and still questions remain on both the GOP and Democrat sides. How will CA split for the Dems? Will Romney stay in the race? Who will get the next big endorsement? Who can translate the Democrats delegate count?

I hope the excitement that has followed this whole election process has shown at least one thing..and that is to vote. This is our right and when we exercise it you see what can happen. I hope the momentum of involvement continues for eons to come. I think it is very important for people to discuss and closely look at the candidates and issues-not just focus on sound bites or talking heads.
