For me, this is even better than '92 because I was so sure about that outcome. I had so many doubts about whether this one would go our way that I had myself twisted in knots. Every piece of good news was offset by even more doubts. I'm in Indianapolis and instead of finding the location of the party here, I decided to just sit in my hotel room and watch MSNBC like I've been doing just about every night for the past year and a half. I wanted to sit here and cry on my own no matter the outcome. I continually updated my facebook status and kept an ongoing dialog with folks around the country. I couldn't be more happy or more proud (well, the prop 8 thing in CA clouded the sunny mood a bit).

If I was in Chicago, I would've gone to Grant Park. I did get to see Obama after the Browns blew the game on Sunday. It was pretty special.
