I'm even prouder of the fact that the young voters finally showed up and exercised their right to vote. I voted Obama, though I suspected McCain would take the majority of Texas. I was ecstatic when Obama was declared the winner; I was moved when he gave his speech.<BR/><BR/>Still, I think the new generation has risen and decided to take part in the gov't and make it their own. Change only happens with hard work; democracy works when we participate. And America takes a positive step forward for living up to it's founding ideals: liberty, freedom, and equality.<BR/><BR/>The Old Boys Club members aren't on their way out; they're getting old and dying!eroswingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678990077292314028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22457519.post-24547741953025683042008-11-05T18:53:00.000-06:002008-11-05T18:53:00.000-06:00to speak to your final question...no. not even e-p...to speak to your final question...<BR/><BR/>no. not even e-phn close.katherine.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06000676644051958330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22457519.post-53900398302905651282008-11-05T16:04:00.000-06:002008-11-05T16:04:00.000-06:00HE, the apples never fall far from the tree.
