I wouldn't mind another holiday - in fact, I think election day should be a day off from work for all americans

How did you go from anything else in this thread, especially anything I said, to making election day a national holiday/day off?
And where did I say it'd be a surprise? I fully expect that we will have a national holiday for/about Obama. I fully support the idea as well. Regardless of what I think of the man (and I'll so very leave that out of this discussion...lol), the United States elected a black man to the most visible and important office in the nation. I do think that's something to be celebrated and observed, the same as MLK Jr Day. It's part of our history.
