I don't remember ever being happier about an election outcome - ever!!! I remember being happy when Bill Clinton won. I remember being sad when Gore and Kerry lost. But last night...
I was in my bed around 11, refreshing cnn.com to check on the electoral vote counts. It was 11:03 on my laptop when I saw cnn projection for Obama. I jumped out of bed and ran downstairs to watch it on TV. I jumped up and down - we won, we won. My daughter was jumping up and down as well - both of my dogs started barking. My husband (who otherwise does not show emotion easily) had a broad grin on his face.
I watched McCain speak and I thought of all the the time I had heard him speak, this was the best delivery he had. And then I watched the President Elect Obama walk on the stage with his family, and I had tears in my eyes. I have never in my life cared for election outcome so much.
This morning as I was driving to work, the whole world seemed happier - the trees were grinning, the clouds were smiling, there was this positive energy in the air. I guess I am always the glass half full kind of person, but this morning I am just happy to have the glass.
Congratulations Mr. Obama - Yes We Can!!!
