Excuse me while I tear up...
I never thought I would see this until current kindergartners grew up, if then. Obama won. We're currently listening to Martin Luther King Jr.'s historic speech, and I'm so emotional I can't put it into words; drinking champagne; crying as we listened to the "Yes We Can" video version of the campaign speech. I'll probably cry some more when Obama gives his acceptance speech.
McCain actually gave a good, decent concession speech; in it I saw the shadow of the man he was in 2000, when I still had respect for him.
This campaign has been historic, and I am beyond proud of the result, of what it means for the US. But the weight of hope is now immense.
ETA: in other news, my Facebook profile has a troll... :rolleyes:
