My waterworks have started...
I am weeping right now. Happiness, sadness, pain, joy, grief, love and hope.

I wish so much that Madelyn and Stanley Ann could be here with us. I wish that Ann Richards, Molly Ivins, Bobby Kennedy, Paul Wellstone, Martin Luther King and Coretta Scott King and all of those who fought for the moments that we will be experiencing tomorrow. It has been a hard campaign, and a very hard day.

I am crying for what we have lost, but also for what we are gaining.

3. I would add Paul Newman to that list.
He and his great sense of social justice are deeply missed.

He would have loved this.

5. Paul Newman always said that being #6 on Nixon's Enemies List
was his proudest accomplishment. :)

10. What Happened?!?!?
Hehe.....

Yeah, all I have to do is talk to a stranger on the phone who is calling asking for Obama support, and it springs up.

We do have a long list of ancestors who will notch another victory come tomorrow night. May our victories come now without as much trouble, would be my greatest wish.
