COuldnt keep the tears back, they just came.

Whatever may come, the weight of history -& yes, universal love- was too heavy not to breakdown. Bless the man. I have some hope again.

I think I need to stop watching CNN now. I’m giving myself an ulcer wishing so hard at each state, and contemplating teh hotness of Anderson Cooper. (I know, he’s probably gay. Doesn’t stop me from looking.)

I AM SO EXCITED I THINK I’M GOING TO THROW UP.

Okay, caps removed, but seriously. This is my second major election, but I voted absentee (college student) in 2004. But I figure I’ve been living here long enough that I should count myself as a resident of this town.

I worked this morning so I just voted after coming home and having breakfast. I was #45 after a half hour wait, and I got there about 8:15 (15 minutes after the voting started). My boyfriend went to vote later in the afternoon and he said he didn’t have to wait at all. My polling place didn’t have food, but at least there were chairs and things for the elderly. No funny business here, but I’m in a staunch red state so there’d be no point in being tricky. But I still voted for change and hope. I can’t wait until the results start coming in.. only one more hour until the swing states start reporting!

I’m Canadian but I’m headed over to an election party tonight at my friends’ house – he’s American and voted absentee, and she is a rabid political junkie.

I am so excited to (hopefully) witness some groundbreaking history tonight.

I voted for the first time today. It was strange; the town hall was nearly empty when I went into the voting booth, and when I came out, there was a line going all the way out of the building. I had a dream last night that I was at a huge Obama rally, but McCain had won, so everybody just sort of stood around and cried to themselves. I’m so nervous, I really want to see Obama win, but I just can’t believe it could happen. But I will keep my fingers crossed, and have ice cream on hand if there is celebrating to be done.
