America

mikeinie · 11-04-2008, 09:26 AM

The election that is taking place right now in America is one of the biggest and most important elections that I can remember. It is one that will be spoken about in history books in years to come.

Over the past few months there have been many debates and discussion on this topic, there has been slagging and arguments and fun. But in the moment of truth, America, you are our friends and we hope that whoever your new President will be when the ballots are counted, that they will provide you with what you are looking for.

We wish you the best.

Good Luck

Thank you and you are invited over for some birthday cake. Hubs birthday today. I was joking with him and said "I'm getting a pic on your cake of Obama on one side & McCain on the other". He thought I was joking which I am.

Lines are long here is some areas of Baltimore at the voting venues-2 3/4 hours wait in line up in the city. This election has a great turnout so far!

I got up early and voted, I figured a lot of people would wait until they got their kids off to school, waited about 15 minutes whoo hoo..

That seems to be the beauty of it! At least people are getting out there and having their say! Well done folks!

My polling place was just packed and it never is normally.

Apparently in Pennsylvania you must hit the green button on the bottom of the voting screen or it won't count.

Thanks Mikeinie.

In some ways, this is all a crapshoot as worldly "events" have a way of throwing all well-laid plans aside. But as I was sitting in line as voter #127, I was reminded of the peaceful privilege we all have to vote.

I was at my polling place 10 mins after it opened this morning and from the time I got my number to when I finished voting and got my "I voted!" sticker, it took 45mins. I was hoping for a longer line so I didn't have to be at work so soon - oh well....

Yes, Milkennie is right, your our friends over there and we are yours despite all of the arguing and slagging each other off, its been fascinating to watch this from the outside, and hopefully it will help the country in entering a new and better era, whichever side you are on. Good luck America.

President McCain, please may i be the first to offer my heartist congratulations at the landslide victory over Obama, your opponent. Your true grit, determination and experience paid off.
Britain knows we are all in the safest of hands with you in the Whitehouse. God Bless you John McCain.
