And then comes today.

November 4, 2008, Election Day…as of tomorrow, will be yet another one for the history books. And what a day it will be.

Personally I think in years and even centuries to come today will be remembered by many as the day that a very special history was made.

It doesn’t matter who you vote for, nor who wins, (of course we all want our favorite candidate to win), the White House will see something that it has never seen before and I dare say, in the past, it was thought could never happen!

Yes, the White House will either see a Black American President or a White American Woman Vice President walking down it’s hallowed halls regularly…who would have thought???!!! Certainly no one or not many a short century ago!

This is going to be a very special election in America’s history and I hope that each and every one of you make a special effort to be a Part of this day and not just a bystander!

I was sitting in my home a couple of days ago listening to the news and heard that over 20 million American’s had voted already. That alone tells you that people are very interested in this election, (as should be every election).

So go on, grab your coat and walk, run, bicycle, unicycle, bus, train, tram, sidecar, metro, kayak, drive or any other transportation you can think of and get to those polls before they close tonight!

I’m sure you’ll be glad you did because no matter what they say…YOUR VOTE DOES COUNT!!

I would like to thank MSN encarta for all of the helpful historical facts used in this post.

That’s all for me today, hope to see you back here again soon at…
