A clear victory. Everyone here at the youth hostel is pretty excited about it, except for one demographically improbably McCain supporter, a young American student.
This morning, I kept wanting to read more about what was going to happen. Of course, everywhere it was basically just the same story "he won!", etc. I´m not sure what I expecting. After so much time, I think I´m more impatient than I realized, and that I have some sort of absurd expectation that he would magically fix many things the day he was elected.
I have that feeling, even though, intellectually, I know he hasn´t even promised to fix many of the things I´d like him to fix. In fact, in some areas, he´s promised to continue doing things badly (supported warrantless wiretapping, extend the war in Afghanistan, attack Pakistan). But he just arouses some sort of good feeling. It´s nice to have someone who´s actually intelligent in the white house.
