Election Day!

The polls are closing and a night of watching the returns is just beginning. At the local level, Ohio decides upon allowing casino gambling and further definition of access to the water table (two seperate issues). As for President, we just have to wait and see. For some historical backdrop I might suggest loking into the Presidential elections of 1800, 1824, 1828, 1860, 1876, 1912, 1932, 1952, amd 1980 (check out this site http://http//www.multied.com/elections/). All of which can be considered watershed elections which turned the political pendulum in a new direction. But throught them all we remained American. That is firm in the beliefs central to the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. I pray that we remain in the future able to have heated poitical discussion but remain truly American and a "City on a Hill" for the world to see.
Update: Real clear politics (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/) is a great site to check out all final results for the election.
