Yeah- Election. Obama did it! So very happy that he won. Both Jay and I watched McCain’s speech. Jay is convinced that McCain threw the election. The man we saw last night was NOT the McCain we’ve been seeing since the convention. He was the true middle McCain. The one who wants to work together, the one who hushed the boos and asked the country to work together.

In Massachusetts, we had three ballot issues, 1) to repeal the state income tax (NO! It went down big time. We will still have taxes)

2) to make possession of pot 1oz or less a civil penalty, not criminal (YES! )

3) to make greyhound racing illegal and close the two greyhound tracks in the state (YES)

To be honest, the one I struggled with the most was the last. Before September, I was so for the dogs. I love greyhounds. I am not sure the dogs are well kept for racing and some of the people who have adopted former racing dogs have seen that these dogs are not very comfortable with people. But once the economy tanked, I would have trouble eliminating 1,000 jobs for the people in the racing industry. These people need to eat and have a home. What is going to happen to these people?

Either way, the die is cast and we will see.
