Well, tomorrow is the election for 2008. It is a historic election because no matter what happens, a minority (African American or Female) will be elected to the Executive Offices.
That being said, I think we can safely say that Senator Barack Obama will be the next President of the United States. Senator John McCain has done a good job and will continue to do a great job in the U.S. Senate. The real concern (unless you pay attention to the media over the last year) will be how to work toward a better nation.
One of the best things, though, is the fact that more and more people are being registered and are voting. That is good news. Hopefully, they will pay as much attention to the local and State races as they do the the Presidential race. I am a new Federalist who believes that more decisions and emphasis should be made at the State and Local levels.
No matter what happens, life will continue to go on. Few changes in law and policy can be made from the Executive Office. There were little changes over the past 16 years (Bush - Clinton - Bush). So, don't expect the miracles to start happening. And, expect to get involved to help create change and work for something better.
