Obama wins

I'm a born and family raised Republican, and I even voted Republican. That doesn't go to say that I'm upset about Obama winning the race; I'm actually pretty enthusiastic about it. For the first time in my life did I actually contemplate not voting for the norm. I'm honestly hopeful that Obama can bring unity to our country, fixes or at least does his best to fix most/all the problems he's going to face, and totally changes my perception in the future. If Obama is half of what he's cracked up to be, I will whole heartedly change my status as a registered Republican, and simply vote for whom I think it the best candidate in the future, regardless of whether or not the candidate fits the "traditional mold".

This is the problem with being a registered Republican or Democrat. I say fuck that noise. I am going to vote for whomever I think will do the best job, regardless of party lines. For example, I voted Obama, a democrat, for president and voted Mitch Daniels, a republican, for governor of Indiana. Why would I do something so absurd you ask? Because Mitch Daniels has done a great job the last 4 years in Indiana; we're far better off than most states in this nation. Hell, our gas prices are at $1.95 right now! Now granted, they're going to go back up since the election is over and the government can rape us again now that we've participated.

I'm just saying you shouldn't vote for a specific party just because you've always done so. If there's a better candidate out there, vote for him/her!
