Today I have hope.

(blasting the 1812 Overture while writing this, and man, it feels good!)

I have hope that we can unify as a Country under strong leadership.

I have hope that WE CAN solve any problem before us, together.

I have hope that our allies will never again look at our great Nation as though it's been co-opted by arrogance coupled with stupidity.

I have hope that this election will for all time banish the idea that it's acceptable to judge a man by the color of his skin, or his middle name, or his politics...rather than by the content of his character.

I have hope that our Country can live up to its promise, and can make out highest ideals and the angels of our better natures available to every man, woman and child. Not just here, but everywhere.

I have hope that THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, BARACK OBAMA, can lead us out of this damned desert and in to the promised land.

I have tremendous faith in the power of American sunshine (properly harnessed), and today for the first time in a long time...I have hope for the future of the kids in my family.

Today, I have hope.

It's audacious, but true.

And man, right now, I'm feelin' it.

How about you?

1. I'm with you.

I have hope. And you had me in tears.
