election day 2008

This is a historic day in America's history, so what better day to make history of our own by writing our very first blog post.

Jamey and I have been following this election closely, just like the rest of the country, and we've been excited about Barack Obama since we first heard his Democratic National Convention Address in 2004. We went to two Obama rallys in Houston during the Primary season and at both of them Senator Obama made us happy that we were supporting him.

It has been very interesting to watch this election season from the heart of Red State territory, and especially interesting to see how many people actually do support Obama. The Houston Chronicle endorsed him over McCain on October 19--you can read that endorsement here. That said all we needed to know about just how Red this part of Texas actually is. Jamey is predicting that Texas in general, Harris County in particular, will be much closer than everyone expects; I think he's right.

So we'll be tuning in this evening, rooting for change and hoping for few election snafoos.

Watch this spot for future posts, and the return of the Top 20/Bottom 10 from La Porte, Texas.
