Of course some whites will have voted for McCain because he was white, as some blacks and perhaps other races perhaps voted for Obama because he is black (well actually mixed race). Both voted for the wrong reasons, but yes I am happy with the end result. I don't know what the Obama presidency will turn out to be like, but I am optimistic and even excited about the prospect, whereas a McCain administration filled me with dread.
