Okay, I'm from Arizona and it was hard not to pull for McCain. He's our guy. His wait at the Arizona Biltmore for election night results was just a few miles from where I was (mostly) raised. It's funny, though, despite differing ideology, I still think it's very wonderful to have lived to see the day when an American of African descent can run for the highest political office in the land - and win. Having seen first hand the civil rights struggles of the 60s, this is an incredible time to be living. Rah Rah America. And heaven help Obama as the new guy in town. I don't envy him the mess he's inherited with the office!
