am I the only one?

[barbtries]

i'm watching the roll call, and cannot stop crying! i'm just silently weeping over here.

i think this may be one of the most important and momentous elections of my life. but then there was 2000 (infamously) and 2008, so i don't know.

i just feel so emotional, watching democracy and maybe regrowing a little hope for my country.

blubbery barbara, that's me. am i the only one?

I don't really even want to step out the door quite yet.

7. I don't really get the whole "history being made" thing. I always knew

A woman will be president in my lifetime.

To me, Obama was a lot different. That was truly history and a "only in America" thing. Many nations have made women heads of their state, but never has a primarily euro-white-centric country elected a man of African decent, especially one with such racial inequality and our history of we have treated them.

I'm sure many will disagree, but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

8. in this election

i'm thinking more of how scary republicans are, but it is still historical that we will elect a woman to the presidency. imo

9. I was right there with you, barb

I didn't think it would hit me that hard, but it did.
