After literally years of debates and stump speeches, primaries and caucuses, hand shaking, baby kissing, attack ads, promises and accusations, the people have voted and decided who will be our next President, Governor, Senator, Congressmen and state legislators. We’ll look at who won, why they won and where the nation and the state goes from here.

I woke up proud to be an American again. I haven't been for the last few years. We've just lost a lot of money in the stock market but it was worth every penny if it helped Obama get elected. I think it would have been more of a nail biter if he had chosen say a Tom Ridge as VP as perhaps he could have delivered up Penn.

UGGGHHHH

So you will trade your 401k losses for an Obama win? Obama will take away any potential for future gains, as he's against lower cap gains taxes and for higher dividend taxes, which ultimately means slower growth and minimal investment activity and growth long term . Ie., your 401k will suffer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
