There's Still Hope for America
I will still be nervous and jittery until the election is officially over, but I'm letting myself have some hope for America. Or rather, Americans.
I'll be honest, electing Bush twice really made me question whether some people should have the right to vote. It just blows my mind. But, I have realized over the last few days that there is reason to hope that some people can indeed change.
A person (who shall remain nameless) has been a McCain supporter throughout the election. And was a Bush supporter before, though couldn't vote then. We've always just disagreed on politics. Well, this person attended an Obama rally last week, basically because he was dragged by a friend. But, he was willing to listen to what the other side had to say. Said person has since done has much research as humanly possible (it seems) and is now almost 100% certain he will be voting for Obama tomorrow. We just talked for about an hour and it was the best political conversation we've ever had. Mainly because we weren't arguing, and he was actually open to hearing my opinions.
I was glad when he was just considering Obama. It's a big step. Even if he still voted the other way, I would have respected his decision because he really weighed his options. But hearing that he might actually jump ship on McCain, is just wonderful.
GO VOTE!
