Sitting With Abe
I voted Obama, and I'm optimistic, hopeful, about what the future holds. I know one man being elected will never be a magic fix, and there's a lot of work to be done. But I'm loving just watching how joyful people are about politics and America again, especially people of my own generation. I always knew we cared, I just didn't know how long we'd wait before we felt like someone was listening to the things we cared about. It's a great contrast to how afraid and bitter I remember feeling in 2000 and especially 2004.
But the biggest reason I'm posting is to share a couple of election op-ed pieces from yesterday...

In the Awesome Imagery category: Small crowd gathers around Lincoln & a transistor radio for news (With a picture which feels like it's gonna belong in the history books.)
