YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
I couldn't even speak when Charles Gibson said, "It's 11:00 o'clock on the east coast, the polls are closed in California...ABC can project that Barack Obama will take California and several other western states, Barack Obama will be the 44th president of the United States of America..." Believe it or not I started crying. Which shocked me!!! I didn't realize how much I wanted it I guess. I'm so happy. And I'm happy Obama won by soooo many votes. We needed that. We needed it to be a clear win.
And now we're at that point where the bitter McCain supporters spew their feelings, judgements, and skepticism for the future. Which although is hard to stomach, is only natural and expected.
But McCain himself said it best in his speech tonight. Now is the time to come together. That is exactly what we need. What we've always needed. It may take a minute for people to get over their loss, but the end result is that we all need to come together. No matter what my views have been I've always believed in a united front.
Did I mention I'm happy?
