I voted for Barack Obama today, leaving the neighborhood center with a big, stupid grin on my face. I got into my car, and cried. Hard. I couldn’t tell you why at that moment, but I know now. We’re making history with this election. Watching CNN tonight, Hillary thanked her mother, “who was born before women could vote, and is now watching her daughter up here.” Barack says, “This time can be different…it isn’t different because of me, it’s different because of you…this time must be different…our party must be the party of tomorrow…together, ordinary people can do extraordinary things…We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek…Let’s go get to work!”
Change we can believe in, yes we can.
