This is not the greatest photo because it was taken with my camera phone. But, look at who my friend Julie and I ran into at Election Central in downtown Anchorage! President-elect Obama! Well...I guess you could say... a guy who looks a lot like President-elect Obama! He really throws you off when you see his profile, much more like the real deal. The Presidential election was called an hour before the polls closed in Alaska and then Julie came over and we watched the real President-elect Obama give his acceptance speech at Grant Park in Chicago on the TV and then Julie and I decided to head downtown to where all the action was happening. It was pretty exciting to be at Election Central. At first when we arrived it was pretty quiet because the polls had just closed, but then more and more people started to arrive and the results for U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and State Legislature seats started coming in. We didn't end up staying too late, I was not feeling fantastic, Julie's getting over a cold, and we both wanted to go to bed. It was my first time going downtown though and it was a lot of fun. I think I'll be putting election central on my political "to-do" list from now on!
I'm so excited about our new President-elect that I haven't found the words to express it yet!
Obama! Obama! Obama! :0)
