Truer Words Were Never Spoken

On Thanksgiving 2008 I want to express the following sentiment, as sung by the wonderful Josh Groban.

Somedays we forget
To look around us
Somedays we can't see
The joy that surrounds us
So caught up inside ourselves
We take when we should give.

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be.
And on this day we hope for
What we still can't see.
It's up to us to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for.

Look beyond ourselves
There's so much sorrow
It's way too late to say
I'll cry tomorrow
Each of us must find our truth
It's so long overdue

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be
And every day we hope for
What we still can't see
It's up to us to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for.

Even with our differences
There is a place we're all connected
Each of us can find each other's light

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be
And on this day we hope for
What we still can't see
It's up to us to be the change
And even though this world needs so much more

There's so much to be thankful for

I love this man

For whatever reason, I decided to watch youtube clips of Anderson Cooper. Seriously:



Fantastic:

PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!!!!!

Woo Hooo Obama is kicking butt. CNN is saying they can't seem to find anyway that McCain can win more than 260 some odd electoral votes now that he has lost PA and Ohio!!!! LANDSLIDE BABY.......at least I sure hope so.
To night this post is going to be my little outlet for excitement and opinions on election info...be it Presidential, Governors races (WA in particular), or Senate races (can the Dems get a filibuster proof majority?).
READY.....SET......COUNT THE VOTES!!!!!!

6:51 p.m. Pacific Time
Obama gets New Mexico according to CNN. I love tonight.....Obama kicking ass and lots of dear little Anderson Cooper on TV. Oh hey even FOX News is reporting Obama ahead in electoral votes.

7:01 p.m. Pacific Time
According to CNN Obama already has 207 electoral votes (not including Cali=55, Oregon=7 and Washington=11). Obama has also won Iowa.

7:17 p.m. Pacific Time
According to CNN (can you detect my "liberal bias") that Democrats currently hold 54 seats in the Senate. Now that the Presidential race has basically been decided (its all down to how big of a margin of victory Obama has) it's time to focus on the Senate races and the Washington Gov. Race between Gregoire and Rossi.

8:19 p.m. Pacific Time
OBAMA WINS!!!! OBAMA WINS!!!! McCain is giving his concession speech. I couldn't be happier right now!!!! This is an amazing night. I give my absolute congratulations to President Obama and Vice President Biden. I also wish McCain and Palin a good game, they tried, but their best couldn't quite do it. America was ready for a change.
The Electoral College currently stands: Obama-306 McCain-155

9:07 p.m. Pacific Time
Obama is giving his victory speech. He truly is a wonderful speaker and will make a wonderful president. I am so proud of America right now! For the first time in 8 years I can watch a presidential victory speech and be truly happy about the election outcome.
