a historic day

the problem with 24 hour news networks is they have taken the steam out of the most historic presidential campaign in many, many years. after 2 years of 24 hour coverage on candidates, flag pins, vague associations, women crying, stupid comments, and talking points beat to death, we are finally here. it is finally the day that the world will change. as a canadian, it hurts the pride a little bit to admit that america affects so much of the world, but that is reality. whoever wins today will set the world on a new path. i don't believe a political leader will save the world from the mess we have made of it, but i do believe they can help. it is exciting to have an opportunity to see someone make real impacting change for the betterment of the world. unfortunately, it's been 8 years since we have had that happen. i'm so glad that today will signal a new era. what if we could start respecting our politicians again? what if we could believe the things they tell us? what if... i can't help but wonder. and i can't help but be excited for the future.

although, late night talk shows won't have as much material to work with once Bush-league isn't president anymore.
