There should be little doubt as to whom I would like to see crowned as President tomorrow (preferably just after 8:30 pm, Central). Barack Hussein Obama, is a man I believe in. A smart, confident, emotionally secure, loving man who will be only good for this country. Couple that with his opposition, an man beholden to all that is bad about US politics the past eight years, and who would be terrible for America, not to mention the world, and the choice should be clear.
But this is what impresses me the most about him: his raw intelligence, his astounding competence, his unfailing steadfastness. Even The Economist, in (grudgingly?) endorsing his candidacy, said this about his supposed inexperience, their biggest problem with him:
"But the exceptionally assured way in which he has run his campaign is a considerable comfort. It is not just that he has more than held his own against Mr McCain in the debates. A man who started with no money and few supporters has out-thought, out-organised and out-fought the two mightiest machines in American politics—the Clintons and the conservative right."
Damn straight.
Vote.
This is a big one.
I have been so emotionally invested in the last two elections, that this one, I just don't know what I would do if McCain won. But he isn't going to. At some point, you just have to have faith.
