....election night, and the inauguration.

Never bought ANY videos before, but it was that important to me (only $19.99, a bargain!!!)

I thought Clinton winning in 1992 was the most exciting election* night, 2008 surpassed that by so much!

*of course, when I first ran for a very low local office in town and won in 2005, THAT was the most exciting.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
