Historic Election

One thing that cannot be denied is the historic nature of this election. The first African-American President of the United States will be a huge note in history for the duration of this country, and rightly so. I certainly hope and pray that Pres. Obama will be a tremendous President that does a lot of good.

On a separate note, the shock of the election for me was in Minnesota. Al Franken almost upset Sen. Norm Coleman. It was shown that Mr. Franken cheated on his taxes and has written pornography, yet the voters in Minnesota almost elected him a Senator to represent them. The margin is so close that I am confident a recount will ensue, and so this result may not be final yet. If Mr. Franken ends up being a Senator, I will be even more surprised, but I am stunned enough as it is.
