one of the black guys in my dept (he voted McCain by the way), says he is really worried about Obama screwing it up...because then that destroys the chances for other blacks to run....this is probably our ONE chance, he said.
I tend to agree with that, better not screw it up. But as bad as things are now, they'd probably have gotten worse before getting better no matter who won. A lot depends on how many stand behind our new prez as it unfolds vs. [censored], moan and complain about every little thing. But sooner or later a woman or minority would win and be the first, time to write a new chapter in American history and politics. I'm just glad it was a big win and not close. This way, which ever way it goes, it can be said a real majority wanted to try it. And by the way, he's not a black president, african american president or minority president. He's our United States President. Until he really screws something up I'll give him the chance he deserves.
My personal opinion of the turnout is Bush tainted the repubs tenure to bad to stand much of a chance this time around, he was disliked that much, then the Palin pick sealed McCains fate.
