Even though Stephen cancelled out my vote (as usual, at least this year he didn't actively try to steal it), I am thrilled beyond measure that Obama won. I may look back on this one day with embarassment at my overt jubilation, but for today, I want to document this. A new day is dawning. I am proud of our country today.
It is the exact opposite of four years ago - when I just lay on our bed and sobbed. I was so heartbroken, but today my faith is restored. I think good things are coming.
There may be some policy points on which the candidate and I disagreed, but I trust this man to be a thoughtful, intellectual, open-minded and reasonable president. Someone cool in a crisis, who listens to all sides and seeks out opposing points of view. I don't want to elect someone to have a beer with. I want a leader, and I think we got the right guy.
My cousin Linsey was in Grant Park last night in Chicago. It must have felt like the center of the world. I am so jealous - Stephen and I both would have loved to have been there. What an amazing moment in time. I feel like celebrating!
