I have a great friend in Arizona who is a VERY active Republican. A few weeks ago he gave me hope when he said he was having a hard time talking himself into voting for McCain. I have the following from him today:
"I wanted to congratulate you and your candidate on the election last evening. It's truly the beginning of a wonderful new era now that a black man has been elected president. I am actually very excited about the future."
My response:
"Thanks very much. That's very gracious of you and I'm glad to hear you are excited about the future. Obviously I am as well. I thought McCain's speech last night was very well done - one of his best. I'm sure he'll continue to be an effective member of our Congress."
I almost still can't believe it. I went to a great house party last night. Afterward, I soooo wanted to join the folks on
Capitol Hill, but I was responsible :o( and went to bed instead. Something tells me the parties will continue...
