politics, the presidential election, that is.  "No way!" part of me screams, but note the similarities:  eseentially, when the 'wedding day' or 'election day' comes, we're all stuck with him for a long time, but unlike marriage, we know how long it will last- 4 years.  At least in that regard, if he hasn't turned out to be what we expected, we can give another guy a try. (and I meant 'stuck' in the best way- maybe 'partnered with' or something)  There are a lot of emotions and hype w/ the election- and advice or opinions from practically everyone, which seems would be the case in a marriage decision.
In a previous post, I mentioned something to the effect of John Kerry being my suitor- that may seem somewhat like dating, but I personally have not had to sit there for months being wooed by two or more guys for my affections (or at least not to my knowledge :wink:); another difference w/ the day of the decision is that he doesn't start his term until 2 months later- so is it more like a 'yes' to an engagement proposal?
I don't know if this is at all interesting, so I won't add more points.  The idea for this came about, because now that the results are in, I don't feel much.  I felt a lot before now, and was very excited to see what would come, and now I'm just calm and OK with it, but I think I would be no matter who won.  I am happy with how today went and with how both Senator Kerry and President Bush handled themselves and each other today.  I think it is important to pray for the President daily and to look forward to what is to come.  I am interested in what changes will occur, what decisions will be made, and how they'll affect whom.  Here's to the next four years:  :)  :D :)  :D :)  :D :)  :D :)  :D :)  :D :)  :D :)  :D :)  :D :)
