("LA Peeps for Obama" by victoriabernal on Flickr)For each vote of the foreseen 135 billions that will be cast in the US Elections today, McCain and Obama will have spent 8 dollars, for a total amount of over one billion dollars and without even taking into account the money spent to elect 35 senators and 435 congressmen. In 2004, Bush and Kerry spent “only” 5. And then some people say that the American housing market is declining. A billion dollars to rent the White House for four years seem quite an excellent deal!
Let’s hope it is worth it. May the best man win. Although it does not always end up like that…

At the end of the day we have to support the sitting president whether we voted for him or not, oh but to hope for change...yes, may the best man win!

Im so pleaased about the results of the election. In my opinion the best man did win. xxxxx
I will reserve my "best man" judgement for 4 years from now when we are voting again. I think I should have sufficient information to make an informed statement at that time. I simply have no idea based solely on campaign promises. Those are usually broken within days or even hours of being sworn into office. Yeah, I know, Cynical much!

@Missie, Ada, Laine, Laura & Sandra: Thanks for your comments. I really hope he is the best man for the job. As Laura says we will see in the next four years...
