Election night

When Mum got home from work we finished dinner very quickly then watched the news. We saw Barack Obama and John McCain voting in America. They probably voted for themselves. We also saw Sarah Palin - she has the same colour hair as Zilly.

Mum explained who were guests and who worked for the BBC like her. Lots of BBC people are in America watching what is happening in the election.

I really wanted to stay up because we will only know if Obama has won in the middle of the night. Mum said it would be okay to get up early in the morning though because that is when there will be pictures of the new President Obama ... she hopes.

Mum and Zill talked about Obama and Zill said she would vote for him. I would vote for Ralph Nader - mainly because I don't want to choose the same person as Zilly but don't want to say John McCain. Mum found a picture of him and is going to help me put it on this entry so you can see him too!
