Obama won! And we will soon have an intelligent and articulate man in the White House again. Someone who truly believes we’re all equal and really wants to make things better for everyone regardless of who they are. Never in my life have I felt so much anxiety about an election before. I couldn’t concentrate all day worrying about how it would all turn out. And honestly it turned out even better than I had expected with McCain conceding even before we’d finished dinner. It feels amazing. It feels hopeful and I’m excited and relieved and I think a lot of other people around here are as well. I could hear shouting and excitement in the street earlier and can still hear a little of it now. January 20th can’t come fast enough.
