I was thinking about today four years ago when it was Bush vs. Kerry. My father was very pro-Bush and I was voting for Kerry because I'm a Democrat and there was no was in the world that I was going to vote for Bush. I think that tonight it's completely opposite. I'm very pro-Obama and it seems like my father is just voting for McCain because my father is a Republican and he's very anti-Obama. But I don't really get the sense that he's thrilled with McCain. It sort of sucks when it's like that. You just vote for a guy because he's not that other jerk.
Poor Kerry. He was so uninspiring - just like McCain. Every time I see McCain he just seems so sad and decrepid. I thought his appearance on Saturday Night Live was really sad. It was even more self-depricating than Sarah Palin's appearance a few weeks ago. I'm ready for Sarah Palin to go back to Alaska and quit being on tv all the time. I want her to be a subject of a Where Are They Now show in about ten years. And I'm also ready to see much less of Cindy McCain.
I'm not sure how late I can stay up. I want something to happen - some returns to come in and some definite "We're calling Idaho for..." I wish I had MSNBC. Rachel Maddow and Keith Oldberman are on there. I'll have to do with CNN. CNN's coverage is a little too much with the magic screens. I miss Tim Russert.
Okay. Go Obama.
By the way, that coat in the picture above was in a store at a mall in Texas. Pretty fabulous, huh?

Hello Andy! I have the feeling the whole world is relieved and kind of united today. There's a national holiday in Kenia! I am so happy I cried. And I have never even been to the US!! I was so nervous yesterday, my alarm rang at five today and after quick check and a sigh of relief I just slept on for another hour. Very relaxed, though... I hope one day I can be as pround of being Austrian as you must be now of being American. Groetjes, Doris
