*blinks at solid walls of political posts*

So, is it over?  Can I poke my head out now?

(Am I the only one who wasn't really in either camp?  One was too conservative for me, the other not conservative enough.  Not to mention they both often seemed more interested in saying they had a point than the point itself.  Mind you, I don't think either would result in the downfall of the nation, either.)

ETA:  So many posts about celebrating in the streets and I have to drive home in an hour and twenty minutes.  *gets mildly concerned*  *lives close to college area*

I think it's over. Because more people on my f-list posted in the last five minutes than usually post in like a whole day.

*will refrain from doing so, because what I would say, I have said, and it's not like I helped much anyway...*

I am feeling the same way. alkdsjf;adkf;. Never was convinced either candidate was better than the other.

Come on and just join us in our joy. He's a little too conservative for me too, but this is amazing and I think he will lay a lot of groundwork for a much more liberal future. You can't expect the whole country to jump to liberalism after having been very conservative for so, so long.

I'm wading through the wall of posts as well. I might be a little more enthusiastic, but not as much as the rest of my flist is :)

I'm cautiously optimistic. Really, it depends on what happens once he is president. Anyone can talk; I'm pretty suspicious of politicians in general, so I'll believe change when I see it.

Sorry! I'm a hope-a-holic. It's a refreshing change from the doomy doom I've been feeling for years.

Nope. Not just you. I didn't even bother to re-register to vote because I couldn't bring myself to buy into any of the candidates' shuck and jive spiels. I'd give it a few more hours before poking my toes in the water though. =-P

Sorry, but I love me some Obama. XD

Times like this call for SMALLER FLIST! like mine! *beams* only like 5 posts about it so far lol.

And it seems most of my flist peeps and myself weren't fully for one or the other.

I'm sorry if I contributed to that, but I really wanted to say something. It'll probably die down pretty soon-the first shock is the greatest.

I've mostly been enjoying watching the election because American politics are so crazy and different from our own. Like if Obama ran here he'd be right-wing conservative, which is something I *never* vote for (go for Social-Dems, Left-Wing or Green Party usually) but in the greater scale of things I'm more okay with him than McCain.

My friends list is groaning with posts as well. I am generally very cynical about politicians and as an Australian, we normally get squished by US/UK anyway, so I will wait and see if it makes a difference for us :D

I wasn't really fond of either candidate either, and I'm very glad that I'm currently in Japan so I was able to miss basically all of the drama that surrounded the election and the lead up to it.

I'm politically neutral, so I'm with you on the hiding until it's over.

*returns to her hole and hopes it's all over soon*

I'm not crazy about either one of them either, heretical as it may be among my flist to say so. But I was VERY concerned about one of the VP picks, which ended up being the strongest factor in my vote.

I like Barack Obama as a human being, but love him as a symbol :-)

I'm sick of politics. This election was dragged out way too long. I just hope the country ends up okay... hahahahaha.
