My comical nature wants to compare the race yesterday to the race between the ccfan special edition boat and the 1973 white and orange mustang, in that it doesnt really matter who won because the same person own's both of them anyhow, but I am not actually that cynical yet and I would hate to compare Reidp to the big monied special interests...

I don't even know where to begin as far as describing how significant of an event this is for our country. An African American Democrat won the Presidential election in the USA by a significant margin. Several KEY "Red" states turned blue last night. Even my own county, the 31st wealthiest county in the USA (Lake County, IL- look it up) and traditionally a very republican county, voted for Obama by a huge margin. People around the world shed tears of joy. He delivered a monumental speech in my home town last night- right on the front lawn of Chicago. There is hope for America. Aside from our gun control discussions and tax discussions, step back and take a look at the big picture of what happened last night. Florida. Ohio. Virginia. The list goes on. Although a handful of people on this board don't approve of Barack, I can step off the soapbox because majority of the entire country disagrees with you.

Edit: Check out this election results map. You can drill into individual counties and adjust the time slider to see past results. Amazing.

Historic, for sure. Change, deffinitely for sure.. We'll see how significant an event this will be. I hope to "my God" that you will be able to bask in your glory for multiple terms Joel.

Moj'<--- going out to apply for my "Foid" card this weekend.

I still can't believe it. Maybe there were too many of us working and couldn't get to the polls.

BTW... I DID vote and I did work all day. Just wanted to clear that up.

There's a happy thought! Steelers!
Still waiting to hear about Ben's MRI. Leftwich will probably start on Sunday. He played a great game Monday night.

And my bumper sticker will read:

"Don't look at me I voted for Nader"

I am sure after just enjoying all 7 pages of this thread the majority of CC owners are far right in their political views which to me makes sense.

M3fan thanks for your moderate views to stir the pot and make for some entertaining reading.

JoeinNY had the best comments way back on page 3.

Getting away from politics, I am curious who brings up the topic of Correct Crafts on their political or other non boating forums they contribute to.    

       


   

there are alot of other things to consider, we are still to this day on shakey grounds with Russia, anyway you look at it Putin is still in charge and Putin Does not like McCain, and vica versa...I really think McCain wouldve got us wrapped up with them. I think Obama will respect the warnings already out and will steer clear of Russia and keep our already "shakey ground" relationship at bay with them.
they are once again building power and i see them as being a problem in the future, they are a shoot and look the other way country and Putin has that "evil" look to him

Aemmer, I can finally tear the same bumper sticker off my car, its faded...its been on there for 8 years
