History

It is finished..... The concession speech has been made. McCain was my personal choice, the party of my personal political beliefs. I can not deny that I feel sadness in this loss. I was so proud of and moved by the speech McCain gave and I believe it was from his heart. I completely share the sentiments that McCain expressed regarding the historic nature of this election of our next leader and how important that it is that we have moved beyond the prejudice of our past. Again, I'm sad about the political loss, but I feel hope that we are truly moving or have moved into a post-racial time in our country....which is great good news for my Vietnamese-American daughter and all Americans. I'll pray for President-Elect Obama (I can't imagine the enormity of the job), I'll pray for the healing and unity of our country, and I hope you will join me.

I thought his speech was awesome too. I know this wasn't how you wanted it to end up, but I'm really thankful for your attitude.

Ps. Cute new backdrop!

I love this post...it is the most constructive post I've seen on the topic thus far. Thank you.

I hope and pray for the best with Mr. Obama, just as I would have for Mr. McCain. It takes more than a President to run a country, and those that fear the man's ideas, need to use their emotion in a positive manner by increasing their participation in the process and watching and supporting the many other leaders involved in developing policy for our country.
