after standing in line for three hours in the dreary minnesota weather, phil and i finally made it inside the xcel energy center to our destination: obama's victory speech. we were well aware history was about to be made, and we were like giddy schoolchildren as we made our way to our seats, thrilled to be a part of the experience.
and what an experience it was. obama declared victory at the podium in st. paul, securing his place in history as the first african-american presidential nominee. as i intently listened to obama speak, i knew he was right. this WAS our moment. i could feel it all around me– a new generation was about to step up and take charge and i was going to be part of it. i am part of it.
the road to november 4th is surely going to be a long and draining one, but i am incredibly excited to see where it takes us....
