An Historic Day in America

So we can stand proud as Americans showing democracy does indeed work. We elected the first African-American, Barack Obama, to the Oval Office. Over 131 million people voted in this election, which means about 64% of eligible voters went to the polls. That's the best turn out in 44 years, according to a report by AP (click on blog head). That's gratifying in that, for some time now, many Americans didn't vote. Part of your responsibility in a democracy is to vote, so I hope we continue in the future.
