It was interesting watching the trend in votes last night as the results came in ! It reminded me somewhat of a major league baseball game where you east coast people put Obama on base and we in California, Oregon, Washington, and Hawaii drove him home with the winning votes to put him over the 270 he needed at the time to win the election ! So- I want to congratulate each of you that casted your votes across the country wherever you are for helping put this man into the White House.
A couple of things I noticed which were interesting. Obama wasn't expected to win Virginia, but he did. Also- A major usually Republican stronghold Florida, he came away victorious there ( no shenanigans this time ) . Typical religious fundy turf in the Bible belt states, and the deep south went for McCain, naturally. But notice Obama did take Ohio, Pennsylvania , and was neck and neck in Indiana ( typically a Republican state) . So he did get his message out and get some crossover votes as well ! I read in our local Sacramento Bee paper where some long time Republicans due to frustration with Bush did vote Obama as they want change too !
So- What trends did you folks notice ? Did you have any thoughts and comments on what you saw go down last night ? It truly was an election for the ages - as an ex- Jehovah's Witness, it truly was a great feeling to have a say and be a part of it ! Look forward to your thoughts ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper
