The day after

Just in case anyone did not notice...
The day after Barack Obama was elected President of the United States, we're all still here. There has been no cataclysm affecting the country, barrage of finger pointing, or even strategies set forth by a political party to "go back to the good old days."
No, instead we heard a gracious message from an outgoing president and his Secretary of State(who knew?). We saw the beginning stages of a political cabinet which may or may not be made up of bipartisan members filled with ethnic diversity.
We saw McCain driving in an SUV, but did not hear from him. It was as if McCain was driving off into the sunset at the end of his quest. McCain was dealt a very rough hand and has my respect more than just about any Republican leader in the country. I wish Senator McCain luck and happiness. I wish him and his family well in their next chapter of life.
We saw Biden and President Elect Obama(love typing that by the way)thanking those who had helped to pave the road that we now travel, but we did not hear from them either. Instead, the media commented on their feelings of the future. The future of the country, the electoral map, and the job which is ahead. We heard from the world and it's people congratulating us on the choice made.
We saw Palin. Yeah, we heard from her. Though, I don't think anyone is listening anymore.
