Election Night

I spent Election Night at the Official Minnesota DFL Victory Party, and yes it was called a Victory party well before election day. Throughout the course of the day, I have replayed that moment when we saw the CNN projection that Barack Obama was president elect over and over again in my mind.

I will never forget the moment when the crowded erupted in a joyous cry, when people began dancing, screaming "We Won", and crying tears of pure hope for America's future. The memory of my mother calling me as I screamed and jumped up and down, and burst into tears because I knew she was in our living room jumping up for joy too, will remain etched in my mind for years to come. Even though we were hundreds of miles apart, it felt like she was standing right beside.

I can't put into to words the emotions I left that night, or the emotions I am still feeling right now, but I can say I was there when... Yes We Did!!!

5 Days to Change Rally with President Clinton

The Obama Campaign made another stop in Minnesota! This time, President Bill Clinton came to speak about his belief in Obama's candidacy. President Clinton is an eloquent speaker and spoke passionately about what he knows Barack Obama can do to help foster fundamental change in this nation.
His words filled the room with a fire and energy like no other that I have ever experienced. Clinton's words were amazing; but the most captivating parts of his speech were when he would let that Arkansas accent come out, "Now, you hear me, we're fixin'to win this thing." I agree President Clinton; we're fixin' to have some change.

YES WE CAN!!!!!!!

Since the election is only 1 week away; we will have a political post overload! Almost everyone has seen this video, but I just wanted to post it amidst all this crazy nonsense and hatred targeted towards Obama. There's no denying that this man's words can inspire a nation.
