He's baaaack...

Oh please.

I couldn't have said it better myself...

"There was perhaps no more profound way to slam the door on eight years of the Bush administration than to elect the first African-American to replace him. The symbolism is powerful; the history is breathtaking. We changed a lot more than our political orientation last night. The country finally grew up.

Something stirred us in a profound way. The disillusionment and disappointment of failed polices everywhere you look were the catalysts. Barack Obama was the spark. Watching him in Grant Park last night, it occurred to me that just like Hemingway was born to write and Tiger Woods to hit a golf ball, this man, Obama, was born to do this, to lead."

Mr. President

Wow

Voting

I left the house extra early this morning with Griffin so I could vote. First, the information I pulled from the County web site sent me to the wrong precinct. When I finally got to the correct precinct, it was completely disorganized and there was a long line. I waited it out and finally sat down to vote. I looked at Griffin, who was right next to me, sleeping peacefully. He has no idea how historic this election could be. I took a deep breath and filled in the bubble next to Barack Obama's name (no computerized voting where I live!).

It felt good.

And now we wait...

Let me get political for a moment...

It's the End of the World As We Know It...

I just saw this posted on someone's blog. It's OK. You can laugh.

Making a Difference

Tonight, Patrick and I attended our first caucus. It was quite surreal to sit there and realize that we were making a difference...we were a part of history.

There were a total of 319 people who attended the caucus at our local precinct. After the first vote, 164 of those people were supporting Sen. Barack Obama! After a very long (and at times, quite heated) realignment, Sen. Obama ended up with 186 supporters and 3 delegates (out of a total of 5).

It was an amazing, and incredibly long, night, but one that I will never forget. I am filled with pride and excitement...
