After Virginia....
I totally knew. I was listening to NPR, which had been ten minutes ahead of CNN on the Jumbotron. Then there was a countdown the crowd was doing and I couldn't see why, through the back of hundreds of heads I saw maybe that California was pending. Then, almost immediately, there was screaming, I also didn't know why, I mean, I knew but I wanted to see it, peered through the mass and saw. Holy shit.
I couldn't see the stage, even when I jumped, and my legs are sore from being on tip toe every other second, and my throat hurts from screaming after every other state - but it was beyond worth it to be in Chicago for that moment. Now I can tell my kids, if I ever have them and whatever religion they are, that their mom was there.
