A feeling of HOPE is returning and you'll never guess who gave it to me...
YOU!! Every single one of you, my Democratic brothers and sisters, who has gone out to vote in this primary season. I didn't think I'd feel this after losing in '04 but I'm getting that feeling the Grinch must have had when his heart grew two sizes too large. The beginnings of hope are starting as I watch your passion take you to the polls. I must admit that watching you voice your passion here is scary at times, but as long as that passion gets you to the polls; bring it on!!

Lets keep voting, Democrats; now and through the November elections. Democrats flooding polling stations fill my heart with HOPE!!

13. Number of dems v republicans who came out to vote in Virginia...
Virginia

Democrats | Polls | County Results
Candidate Votes % of votes Delegates won Projected winner
Barack Obama 506,482 63% 41
Hillary Clinton 287,412 36% 21
87% of precincts reporting

Republicans | Polls | County Results
Candidate Votes % of votes Delegates won Projected winner
John McCain 204,929 50% 60
Mike Huckabee 171,641 41% 0

Mitt Romney 14,095 3% 0
87% of precincts reporting

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21229237

That's 793,894 Democrats who voted in Va compared to 376,570. At 87% reporting that's twice as many Democrats as Republicans!! WOOOT!!!

15. Did Hillary mention hope in her speech? Obama and McCain did, they stole
my line.
