I was in a state of shock last night. Nothing sank in till today........

I supported Hillary in the Primary till she lost in NC.

I decided to support Barack after that, not because I quit loving Hillary, but I knew that Barack would be our nominee.

I threw my support behind Barack, but I still had my doubts about his electability because he is mixed African American/White. I should have trusted Michelle (by the way, I am mixed Latino/White). I know this statement will make people mad, but it's the way I felt.



When Barack chose Biden, I was upset, because I thought his best chance was with Hillary (even though she is an accomplished woman who I think is even smarter than her husband, I thought that many people would vote for her based on Bill's legacy).


Through the campaign, as I got to know Biden better, I grew to love him more and more.




I was worried all day yesterday, and when I realized we won, it was fantastic... but it still seemed UNREAL.

2004 really upset me. I'm a younger voter, and it just didn't sink in that we had won.



Everything Barack had done was PERFECT. I wouldn't change a thing. I'm so proud of him. I'm proud that he knew EXACTLY what he was doing all along.





On my way home today, as I thought about what happened, I cried.






This is not some stupid story I made up. Every word is true.





It feels so good today. Thank you my sisters and brothers.




I'll never doubt again what CAN be. Barack proved it to us.

1. hey

:hug:

I cried last night when they announced, but this morning after I dropped my kids at school, it really sunk in and I sobbed. I sobbed like a baby.

2. I was so jazzed on Tues morning! Took my daughter with me.

I told her we were making history today, no matter what. I was never so proud to be an American when I touched the screen. My eyes welled up. On the way home, I explained to my daughter that this is exactly what Martin Luther King was hoping for, his dream.She said, Mom, why does it sound like you're about to cry?... I always knew we would win. I saw so much enthusiasm and support. But I didn't think it would be without a fight. I thought there would be a problem with electorals but the pop vote would be beyond anyone's dream. I never dreamed there was no problem whatsoever, and that McCain would concede with great dignity. I wanted someone to pinch me. Barack OBAMA IS THE MIRACLE, THE DRAGONSLAYER WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR, HOWEVER WE THE PEOPLE, WE DID IT, WE ARE RESPONSIBLE, WE ARE/WERE THE CHANGE WE WANTED TO SEE!

Late last night I could see the talking heads realizing what they were about to announce. I didn't sob, but I was plenty misty. The people at the park! That's when it got to me! THAT's US! That's everyone of us! Together. But I stayed up way too late, and I'm the worse for wear. I couldn't sleep well last night, but tonight I will get a good night's sleep. It will REALLY sink in tomorrow.
