My Election Day

For Election Day a couple friends and me went snowboarding. We all had voted early, so decided to take the day off. I thought it would be pretty cool to get your mind away from all the election coverage, and then come back to civilization, and jump right back into it. So while snowboarding, we saw an Obama bus. This was some woman’s bus that was gathering people to take them to vote, and then bring them back at the end of the day. I had the chance to speak with her, and she was very stoked on life, and was almost certain Obama was going to win. There where people wearing Obama shirts, and stickers, and I have to say the whole day I didn’t see anyone with a McCain pin/ sticker. Alright, so the entire day we were oblivious to how the election was turning out. We got back into Denver around 8, and met up with some people at the bar to watch the election, and celebrate history. In the bar they had two different news channels on. CNN and FOX. However they where only playing the sound from the CNN channel. All in all it was pretty interesting, they had that giant map, and would focus in on states to see what counties were going in what direction. I though that was pretty cool. The night then got a little hazy after Obama won. The next day I spoke to my mother, because she is up in Canada. She said that everyone is Canada was excited about the election, they where even celebrating up there. I though this was interesting, because knowing Canada, they don’t really like the United States, so maybe this will all change. Who knows? So there you have it, my Election Day experience. To add a quick note, South Park did a really funny episode about Obama and McCain. I don’t want to write about it, in case you didn’t see it, but be sure to watch it.
