WRITING CULTURE 2012: Film, Food & Beyond

I voted today for the first time ever.

I was so  excited to finally get a chance to vote, to be able to voice my opinions, and vote on where I wanted to see this country move. I acknowledge everything millions of Americans went through to allow me the right to vote. I am a woman and a minority and in 2012 I voted for POTUS in 30 minutes.

If that isn’t magical, I don’t know what is.

I am a political buff, so today was a close second to Christmas for me. I’ve been following CNN’s coverage online and on TV since I got home at 6pm. They did a beyond AMAZING job! I loved that they had their constant reports on the new states that were called, I also loved that I could follow online.

For the wit and fun that a presidential election brings I followed Twitter. Most journalists that were watching along with CNN or MSNBC were also tweeting, which gave an insightful look to the election. I also absolutely loved that ABC incorporated Jorge Ramos to their election coverage. Jorge Ramos is a Univision reporter, he is usually connected solely with Spanish speaking newsrooms, but he actually brings so much insight to the table. I saw him a few weeks back on This Week and seeing him tonight speaking of the Hispanic vote made me glad that I am a Hispanic who voted and  made my voice heard.

I think the most important tweet of the night was projected second term President, Barack Obama. Personally, I loved that he took to social media to thank all those that contributed to his campaign.
