We’ve been in a dark, scary place for the past eight years. A place, as Paul Krugman put it,
filled with monsters.
Due to the hard work of many, many people and the awakening of our collective conscience,
we’re now headed into the light.
I woke this morning feeling lighter than I have in years. I was buoyed by hope and optimism.
I still am. I think good things are going to happen. This country found its moral compass again,
and it will make progress on many fronts. We will face our problems and take the necessary
bold actions to ensure a sustainable and just environment for future generations.
As a political junkie, I can only hypothesize about the changes to come. But there is one thing
I know with an absolute certainty: President-elect Obama will never detain and torture a fellow
human being.
We are leaving that darkness behind, once and for all.

We should keep on screaming our happiness as long as necessary since it’s been one helluva drought.

When I saw that Colorado went blue, I knew who helped it go that way! Yay, Tracy!
It’s a new era for sure. 🙂

I was one tiny cog in a hard-working machine.

I had the same thought as Lorraine when I saw the gorgeous blue of Colorado–Tracy done good. I’m glad you’re feeling the warmth of the light.

I am dancing in the warmth of the light cast by the thousands and thousands of people who made this possible. I just found out my bro-in-law from NYC was in Ohio all week working on the campaign. And my nephew spent time in PA. I’m glad I could be a tiny piece of the machine.
