From the Associate Press, my favorite line of the morning:

"What an inspiration. He is the first truly global U.S. president the world has ever had," said Pracha Kanjananont, a 29-year-old Thai sitting at a Starbuck's in Bangkok. "He had an Asian childhood, African parentage and has a Middle Eastern name. He is a truly global president."

President-Elect Barack Obama.

*whew*

Just wanted to see what that looked like.

To be in this city, in this moment, sitting next to my son...is a blessing beyond words.

You know, this is been kind of hard one for me because, in the past, I have voted for BOTH McCain and Obama (different elections, of course).

Although there's a lot of people who feel passionately one way or another, I think there's probably a lot of us who are passionately conflicted...

What's really pissed me off is the fear-mongering and accusations that have flown by. Both sides are guilty of it, and if I were believe it all then the only conclusion I could have come to is that neither candidate is fit to hold office.

Both promised clean, budgeted campaigns. Both, as far as I can tell, broke those promises. Whether by going utterly negative or by spending money like it's water.

I have a bad taste in my mouth as I head to the polls.

But, to be sure, I'm voting.
