When Biden walked onto the stage, I started getting teary, and when their families came out, I almost started bawling my eyes out. This is incredible.
I cant even explain how I feel to know that I contributed to this...its just going to be such a huge moment in history.
I hope by the end of the night I can say Al Franken is a US Senator as well as Obama being the President-elect.
my god. my children have a chance to run for office now and be judged truly by the content of their character and not by their skin. free at last. free at last. the dream has come true.
But but but I want to be in the US! If you take a look at Texas, there's a county that's completely surrounded by red. That's Dallas, where I live. Whew.
yeah, Obama took Nashville, but all the surrounding cities/counties, McCain took those. It was weird to see that map on the local news, with one big blue chunk, and the rest red.
This really saddens me. It's like telling me that my sexuality is a mistake. I can't believe that there's still so much hatred, even in liberal minded California.
That is quite a blemish on what is bound to be a night for the history books. One huge step forward, one small step back.
It really is surprising to see all these bans on gay marriage while we just elected our first African American President. You would think people are starting to become more accepting of people different than them.
Tonight made me happy to be alive. Seriously, that speech gave me goosebumps so many times, and yeah, I shed a couple tears. It's a moment like that when I'm the most proud to be a part of this country. I realize that Obama isn't the messiah, but I hope he proves some people wrong and I hope this is the start of something great. To McCain's credit, I thought the man gave a solid, honorable speech. Hell, if he'd conducted himself like that during the election campaign, he might have done better. But I think Obama's margin of victory speaks for itself. Also, did anyone's night get even better after turning on Fox News to see all the people hopelessly kissing ass and blubbering on and on about nothing? Some pretty amazing contradictions going on.
