If Obama wins, we'll have the first African American president. If McCain wins, we'll have the first female vice president. But I'm not watching, because I already have my mind made up - I want Obama to win.

From watching the election, I think Democrats are fair and Republicans are greedy. When McCain was on 60 minutes, he asked why some people would work for others -- "if you're rich, you got it, why give it to others?". Why not?

Obama wants everyone to be on the same level .

And -- he's African American. He'll be the first, and it'll put me more inpired to do something that I thought I'd never be able to do.

The election makes me nervous just because I can foresee problems happening with either a win or loss.

If there's a loss - I think there's going to be widespread anger within minority groups and that has the potential to be rioting and a lot of uproar. I think we kind of place everything in Obama. I can't see past him to the next candidate -- it's a once-in-my-lifetime opportunity and if it's gone, it's gone. 

If it's a win, I think there's going to be an equal uproar from the people who are against minorities -- about how it was fixed. Our country is going to be in disarray.

If he wins, I hope he can do the best he can and it will be accepted - there's a lot of pressure on him.
