Informed electorate won

Thomas Jefferson said this nation would be great when we had a free press and an informed electorate. Today we achieved that.

Over the last year, we've heard all kinds of strange claims coming out of the McCain campaign, words that he and Palin can never take back and words his supporters will have to live with. It was amazing to hear how uninformed many of them were. This went far beyond just supporting McCain because they liked him and his policy, but crossed into delusion. Obama was accused of being a terrorist, a traitor among so many other things and McCain will have to return to the senate with the shame of this on his shoulders. It was one of the nastiest, lie filled campaigns a senator could run and the majority of this nation lost the respect he had earned.

John McCain has a lot of work to do to restore his reputation and so do his supporters if they want to. It's up to them but the rest of us will move on and try to do what we can to keep the promises we made to our own children, to leave them a better nation.

Tomorrow, we begin a new journey and hope comes back to these lands. I can't wait to hear President Elect Obama address the nation tonight.
