As I spent most of my evening glued to my television, watching the electoral votes coming rolling in for Senator, now President elect Obama, I have never been more proud of my country.
Having supported the Gore/Liberman ticket in 2000, and voted for the Kerry/Edwards ticket in 2004, there were times when I wondered if American politics would ever go my way. Tonight I watched history be made. I can't wait to someday, many years from now, tell my grandchildren what I was doing on the night that America elected, not only the first African-American president, but the first president to lay out a plan for an America that I yearned to live in.
I'm elated, euphoric, relieved and hopeful as I look forward to Obama's first term in the White House.
Tomorrow I plan to track down all my friends, family and acquaintances who said this would never happen, and rub Obama's political win in their faces. But that's tomorrow, tonight I'm going to celebrate this great win for our country and the world.
