You're Welcome!

I wonder if Barack Obama will continue to send me text messages now that he's been elected?
This, from him overnight:
We just made history. All of this happened because you gave your time, talent and passion to the campaign. All of this happened because of you. Thanks. Barack

I'm such a sap. I kind of get lumpy in the throat area reading that.
Now comes the hard part. He won't be perfect. Maybe I won't even agree with everything he does. But I love change and I hope we get it.
Used to be whenever you asked my dad how he voted, his standard answer was, "By secret ballot." I mentioned months ago that this was the first time I've ever donated money to a political candidate. I never talk politics because I just don't feel smart enough, can't retain enough facts in my head. That's not a put down of myself. I have many strengths, talking politics is just not one of them. So "going public" like this has been kind of strange for me.
Something I read by a columnist in our newspaper struck a chord with me. Something about how amazing it is that any candidate can inspire such optimism in such negative times.
Most of all, I really love that so many people got involved; that voter registration and turnout was outstanding. I heard on the radio that a man who is 104 years old, voted for the first time in his life. I understand lots of people voted for the first time. (What I don't get at all is how people could remain undecided. Identify your thoughts and feelings and go with it, gosh darn it.)
Time to go turn on the TV and see what's what. I couldn't bring myself to watch any of it last night. I was fairly confident that Barack Obama would win - but I just wanted to wake up with one clear, strong answer as to who the winner is. No hanging chads. One winner, period.

I couldn't watch last night either. My husband was channel surfing on all the election results and I just went to bed and watched a recorded episode of Little People Big World. :)
I was so happy Obama won! I was even happier that he took Virginia. The last two elections were such disappointments for me. I went to the polls feeling as if my vote didn't even matter in Virginia. It's horrible living in a red state or should I say "former" red state. Yay!!
Yes we did! I am delighted with the election results. Whew.
