Almost a year ago, after Iowa, and figuring

[babylonsister]

Kucinich didn't have a shot, I backed Obama. I fought tooth and nail for this guy after reading some very good reviews, as many people on DU did.

Tomorrow will be absolutely awesome. We backed a winner. I couldn't be happier, for tomorrow and the future.

And thanks, DU, for allowing all of us to have a place to work it out. :toast:

1. what a long strange trip its been

[babylonsister]

2. You were there for it. Yes. It's been a helluva year. nt

[ErinBerin84]

3. lol

So much has happened in a year....hey, just about one year ago (to the day? Or so) was the horrible SC debate when Hillary and Obama were just going at it...that was crazy. I never would have thought we could come back to where we all are today.

5. Super Tuesday.

I was in MX to celebrate my birthday and Super Bowl but remember tuning in to cnn espanol and it had the numbers. Hillary won a lot of Dem states, that's all I got out of it, yet Obama didn't lose.

[ErinBerin84]

9. wasn't that Feb 15th?

I just remember that debate, and then Heath Ledger dying, which I thought was around now (horrible frame of reference, I know...). But anyway, how far we've come.

[babylonsister]

13. No, really early Feb, I think.

My birthday is Feb 3, SuperBowl was the same day,no alcohol served on Feb 3rd because of MX elections that day where we were. A day to remember for me.

4. Woot!

[babylonsister]

6. Two WooTs for all of us! nt

[Guaranteed]

8. Woot, my friend.

Long time coming, eh?

[H2O Man]

7. It's today, here.

And it feels good!

Enjoy this day!

[babylonsister]

10. Hey, friend! How fun is this?!

I'm just so - awestruck, after all these years.

Love you, H20 Man, enjoy tomorrow. :pals:

[Gregorian]

11. I'd say we weathered it pretty gracefully.

Phew. That was rough. But we didn't become like our enemy. We grew and remained strong. I honestly thought we'd implode under the pressure.

I am grateful for all who have shared here. I have gained so much from you.

And our diversity. We are a conglomeration of all kinds. Colorful. Beautiful.


Celebrate!

[stillcool]

12. I want to stay up until it happens...

Congratulations to you..and thank you for all you've done:toast:

[babylonsister]

15. NO! It's not me, it's what has resulted.

People give a shit, and Obama has courted them. I love it.

Charlie Rose tonight is good. Wednesday, stuff starts to happen.

[JimGinPA]

14. Because Of The Strange Primary Schedule I Felt Especially Involved Here In PA...

It seemed like it stretched out for such a long time, especially with all the media frenzy during that period, but I never doubted this day would come. Some DUers sent me campaign materials from other states before we were able to get them here. How cool is that?


I'm sure enjoying it tonight, and tomorrow I will enjoy it even more.

[asdjrocky]

16. And here's to you Sister!

I came to DU back in November of 07. I goggled George Bush & Lizard People and somehow ended up here. (Don't ask.) Thank God I found this place and all of it's great people.

It's because of DU that I was in Iowa for the caucus. It was DU that has given me a first class political education over this last year and some odd months. I'm not sure how yet but it's going to be DU who will in some way big or small help my gay brothers and sisters see their promised land. And it's DU that I will turn to tomorrow for news, good cheer and fellowship.

Here's to the new First Family, to DU and to this wonderful country of ours! :toast:

I came to Obama after John the adulterer dropped out in January. I came slowly, and with my eyes wide open and I only wish I would have come sooner.

[babylonsister]

17. I will never diss John. Or his wife. There's no point. I do like that

so many people are on board now with Obama. Sigh. I'm happy. Tavis Smiley has Maya Angelou on. What's not to like?

[asdjrocky]

22. Not one darn thing.

I'm lovin' life right now. Happy America day.

[FrenchieCat]

18. Toast to you, my friend!

:toast:

[babylonsister]

19. And you, FrenchieCat! The competition is over

and we truly have a winner! Thanks for being there for support. You surely were. :fistbump:
My joy knows no bounds.

[Deep13]

20. Well that's fine...

...I got Obama and I got Hillary too.:patriot:

[blm]

21. Toasting with you, baby sis.
