Getting Close

It’s nearly 11 p.m.  The race is nearly over.  I’m so hopeful and buoyed right now.

Voting today was one of the best experiences of my life.  Each year since I moved to CT, Neal and I have gone together to vote.  We didn’t have to wait on line (probably because I brought plenty to do on line).  I studied the ballot for a few minutes and carefully colored in the circles.  I teared up as I filled in the circle for Obama/Biden.  As we walked out the door after depositing our ballots, I broke into tears. 

I can’t believe that there is finally a chance for hope, for change, for pride after so long.  Cynicism has reigned for years, but if CNN is right, then I believe we’re in for a new era of unification and renewal. 

God bless America.

  1. I’ve been crying through most of PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA’s acceptance speech. I also thought Senator McCain’s speech was very touching.
    I can’t believe any of it and it’s wonderful.

  2. I have to giggle because I start to cry EVERY time I vote for either a party candidate or a president. It fills me with such a great feeling to be able to vote freely and without fear.
