Good thought. New problems and issues arrive all the time. Now is the time for everything. So any election in its time is essential. It all builds to the next year and the next year...

Thanks deebomb...and Ambiepam...and of course, I am so late in responding & we all know the results now....but our coverage was even on at 3 p.m. as some of your polls on the East Coast had already closed! I just wished the Canadians, all of them would look at themselves, and feel bad, when we see the voter turn-out you had in the U.S. Our voter turn-out for our Federal election...pathetic..in one word. My gosh, I think it is such a priviledge to be able to vote! And what's even more intriquing as your election turned out so many young people. I bless you for exercising your right. Cheers!

I certainly see what you are saying! Don't forget the trickle down effect, being such a super power, you have affected the economy globally! I guess my point in making such a supercilious statement was that we had just completed our Federal Election for the Prime Minister of Canada....and there was hardly media coverage! And our voter turnout was the lowest in history! On second thought, I think that if our election might have followed the US...we may have had better voter turn-out, way less complacency! Thanks for responding! Cheers!

Your right I didn't hear much at all regarding your election, sad isn't it. I also agree with you that if you election was after ours maybe your turn out would have been better. Regards

Would be interesting to know what your political process is? We have just made history in Canada having our minority government prerogued! (Elected govt. stands down, with permission of the Governor General for a period of time) Now, we are faced with one of two situations....the three parties that received the least votes form a coalition..and we are governed by them, even tho we didn't vote for them (or vote them in)....or we have another election (just had one Oct. 14/08) and hope that a majority party is elected, so that it can't be de-railed again!

Yes, this election of your's will certainly go down in the annals of time! I don't ever remember (& I am older than you, my girl) so much hype! Course, there was all the excitement of the mix, too....Hilary Clinton, Barack Obama...AND SARAH! Looking back at it tho, those events...the Cold War, the Berlin Wall were as significant in their day.....as the "wow" events of today! I am just wondering if the current President hasn't got us all in so deep, that in one term, Obama will not be able to mend all the broken fences. After all is said & done...I do applaud the general populace for your massive voter turn out! Is your state Dem. or Rep. Cheers!
