I'll admit it.
I voted for John McCain.
I wrote a blog post a couple of days ago how I liked Obama more but that I was going to vote for McCain because of his tax policies. Because I believe that McCain's tax policies were what America was built on. That you provide incentives for people to achieve. You don't penalize or tax success.
The majority of Americans disagree with me, and that is fine. I respect America's decision and I now support Barack Obama as our next President, implicitly and absolutely.
What I am most proud of is this:
There was no Bradley effect.
The election was not decided by race.
The election was decided by American voters, not judges or secretaries of state.
Every person that wanted to vote and was registered to vote, voted.
Every vote was counted.
Yesterday's election is what makes America great. The American people decided they wanted change. They voted for the candidate that they thought would be an ambassador of change. And the majority of American people, over 52%, received the outcome that they wanted. This is what democracy and our country is all about.
Now, as Barack Obama pointed out, this is not the end, but the beginning for this process for change to occur.
Ultimately, it is the still the responsibility of the American people to bring about the change they want to see in our country and in our lives. It is the American people that are America's greatest resource, not just our leaders in Washington.
So despite my candidate not winning last night, I still believe in the "yes we can" spirit more today than I did yesterday. And that is a good thing.
