Yes, this was Obama's Election.
Obama's victory does prove Yet Again in history, that "Nothing is Impossible". !
Unforgettable speech by both McCain & Obama.
McCain said to the crowd, "It is not your failure, it is mine"
whereas Obama said to the crowd "This is your Victory".
What a display of political humbleness.
Wow! What a night at Chicago! The Grant Park was ROCKING with energy from every one. The crowd started gathering from the afternoon itself, and by evening it was so full. I always loved July 4th fireworks and the crowd - but this one had a very different agenda and spirit. Just can't express it in words!
As it was getting closer to the ending time for poll, the crowd grew stronger, and with many slogans such as "YES WE CAN!!". It would be an understatement to even call it "ELECTRIFYING".
So much tough time ahead for the country and the President, so much is expected out of him, I can only think of the slogan "YES WE CAN"!
Like everyone is highly hoping on this change to US, and that this will bring in many pilot projects for Chicagoans, I too am so excited about it.

I Voted!
Today's election day.
Actually I voted for the first time in my life. When I woke up in the morning, my very first thought was about "I'm going to vote"! Usually my first thoughts are my little prayers to "Pillayar", to make the day go peacefully. But there are days, even before I think of my prayer, someother thought will occur first. Like every year on my birthday, anniversary or any of my family's birthday or the day I'm going to India for vacation - like important days, my first thoughts are about that day, before I say my little prayer..
Likewise, today is very special for me - caz, I'm voting for the first time in my life! I never had voted in India, as my name never appeared in any voters list. So, this year, I have been eagerly waiting for this day :)
I was bit disappointed that there was not much of a crowd at the school, where we went to vote! I expected some line, so I can chat with few people, extend the excitement of waiting to Vote! But, no line, and it was like a walk-in straight.
The Ballot was a like an entrance exam questionaire - long list of candidates for several posts.
Well, lets see who wins to be the next President!! I can't wait to know the results this time, caz I voted :)
