sea bear returns!
I would have at least attempted to make some kind of witty "pun" out of what you said if I could just figure out exactly what the heck that is.Yah! Obama won over 270 electoral votes! So PLEASE no more obama puns! The are an obamanation!
The are an obamanation? ...What language is that? Seriously.
Well, I guess all thats left to do now is sit back and watch everything collapse before my eyes.

I believe he was making a pun, saying that Bbama puns are an "abomination"... Maybe I took your post to literally or didn't read the sarcasm? lol.

Yeah, I was trying to be somewhat sarcastic. lol. There was a small amount of seriousness in there too, though.
I guess my sarcasm skills need some work.
lol. I figured as much; but, I was reminded of that time in the bookstore when I saw that book called "Obamanation" and it took me a good few minutes and didn't even catch the reference until I had already left the store, lol.

YES!!! Finally our country is on a path to a better future! Obama is the key to a brighter future, one McCain will not be able to bring. Not that McCain is a bad person, its just that he is too easily manipulated by his campaign to say ridiculous things, his speech tonight was actually great and inspiring due to the fact that he was speaking for himself and was not being manipulated once again by his campaign, if he was not so easily manipulated and if he chose a better candidate for vice president he would have had a chance, and may have actually been able to change the USA for the better.
I just want to make one more statement, during McCain's speech when he was congratulating Obama a roar of boo's erupted from the audience, while when Obama on the other hand congratulated McCain for his efforts there was cheering and sympathy from the audience, that to me is ridiculous, in fact it pisses me off that people are so close minded and are not willing to accept change. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and accept change.
Stop acting all cynical and accept change for once, it is something we desperately need.
Go Obama!!!

I strongly disagree with this statement. Being able to inspire people, in my mind, is what could make Obama a potentially great leader.
McCain's lack of self-control could be potentially disastrous for foreign policy related issues, as quite a bit of being president involves social interactions. There is a reason nobody cares about Calvin Coolidge anymore. Personality matters a lot.
On a side note: Obama spelled backwards (Amabo) means "I will love" in Latin...kinda neat.
Yay Obama wins! Good bye Sarah Palin!

Currently stands at 52% Yes VS 48% No (with 39% of precincts reporting)
My County (Santa Cruz): No- 68%
Interesting to see that after age 29, the percentage of people voting in the affirmative jumps like 20%.
Let's keep on hoping for the best.
So many things I could say about anyone voting Yes on 8... but that's another thread.

The gay guys at the campaign were so @#$%ing nice. One of them got disowned by his Mormon family when he came out. He almost broke down when he was making his last little speech to us. We had a wonderful balance of the G and the S in GSA representing no-on-8. I'm not gonna lose hope yet, Santa Cruz is barely in, and looks to be going our way very strongly.
I always wonder how families like that can possibly be so cruel. That's simply pure human cruelty in a defense of a precious ideology over a flesh and blood being. When discrimination comes from within your own family it would be the worst thing I could imagine. I have several Mormons in my family (by marriage), thankfully none of them act that way. Makes me wonder how people like that actually "see" people who aren't in their own family or don't subscribe to the family reality-tunnel. Do they simply imagine them as skin covered machines, the same way Aristotle imagined animals?
