our generation speaks today

i'm <= 25 and i voted today. of course i did. of course ALL of my friends did.

this election has been gruesome. i've been obsessed for about 18 months, checking poll updates everyday, getting opinions from every person i could, just trying to figure out the logic of this thing we call democracy.

in this election i've seen a major trend, and without it barack wouldn't be winning. it's the youth push. maybe the youth aren't going to vote much today, the majority is lazy, but they are the ones that saw this election through. they are the ones that knocked on doors, made and answered phone calls, and did everything else to drive this campaign.

mccain had virtually no ground game compared to barack. barack had 10-30 offices open in nearly every state, mccain barely had any. barack's offices were packed all day and all night, mccain's barely kept normal business hours. if you think that it's because mccain had less cash than barack you're wrong. it was only possible because of obama's continued inspiration that kept his team going longer and harder than any other.

sure there are other factors; the money, non-youth finally getting inspiration, but they are not as important as what our generation has done to put this campaign over the top.

here's part of my ticket for the event tonight. i will be down there taking pictures, to be posted in the next day or two on wajiw.com/pics.php yes i will be finishing up the woggallery ver. 1.0 in the next day
. i'll post the source next week.
