of the 5 counties (3 in indiana, 1 in texas, and 1 here in georgia) i have lived in for the last 4 years all but the one we are in now voted for barack.
the one we are in...was 75% mccain.
james on the other hand hasn't even been in the united states. we counted yesterday, and it was a little over a year out of the last four. of those 4 years, a lot of the time he wasn't around a tv, or computer, so he was a little lost on this election and decided not to vote.
speaking of not voting, my brother's friend shared this article with me, and i thought it was a pretty good read.
it was a different kind of vote for me this year. being an army wife, and knowing that this person would be the new commander in chief of the army. i felt like i was picking our guys boss, and not just our next president.
all i can say is i am proud of mccain, and who he is, what he did for our country, for serving.
and i pray barack leads us where we need to be. God put him in that position for a reason. also that our country can pull together. i hated all the political trash talking i saw. you have your views, i have mine.
let's just move forward.
(and i am up so early because james just left for pt, and i can never fall back asleep!)

So many of the things you talk about with the military is so familiar - both as a person in the military and my former days as a military wife. I remember not being able to go back to sleep after he got up for PT. I decided not to vote for president in 2000 because I felt weird voting for my boss because no matter what - I was in the army and would stand by them and do what whatever was expected of me.
Good for James. So many people vote with out having enough information. Like I said to someone else last night, I think it's very brave to make that decision.
