Since the other choice was... BAD, I'm *extremely* happy that Obama won. And it IS a huge step in the better direction for civil rights... but you're right, it seemed like everyone was caught up in the presidential election & a lot of the other 'races' were overshadowed. I know I felt entirely sick to my stomach when the emails from my activist groups arrived this morning. BOO! A long way to go, yes. lalioz posted something earlier, about America being the land of the free because it's the home of the brave... we'll keep slogging. I liked what Obama said about living for a century and seeing what changes came about in those years. My point - I'm still hopeful.
