tarotgalSunday I volunteered a little for the campaign- went out distributing flyers and knocking on doors. I went to the Obama rally last night in Manassass, Virginia. 8.5 hours of my life spent well in the company of 90,000 others. http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/11/the_last_obama_rally_draws_900.html
I got to see him at his very last rally before election day and didn't get home until 2am. But it was totally worth it. My county went blue. VIRGINIA went blue (for the first time in, I think, 44 years). And now Obama will be the next president.
It was so thrilling to vote for him, too. I stared at my ballot after filling it out (paper ballots for the first time in my life) and just honored the moment. I feel so lucky that I get to vote. And it's even better when the guy I support wins.
I could not be more thrilled. I'm crying with happy and still a little stunned. Thank Gods this election is over. This is phenomenal.
My senator and house representative won, as well. Very happy. Now I'm just waiting for all the returns on the ballot issues/measures. There was only one in VA, and it'll pass. But I'm concerned about Prop 8 in CA, 102 in Arizona, etc. The fight continues...

Date: 2008-11-05 04:47 am (UTC)the nomination of that woman scared away any support I may have had for him in the end. Plus she cursed the Flyers and the Blues. Why couldn't she drop the puck for the Penguins and take out Crosby instead of Legace?.And it's so awesome that you got to do all that.
The only proposition that was on our ballot was to raise the sales tax 3/8 of a percent to help preserve clean air, wildlife and wetlands and that sort of thing.
But my transgendered brother in Berkeley was out this morning to vote no on prop 8.

It does sadly look like Prop 8 is going to pass though...

At the same time, Proposition 8 has me incredibly depressed. It's a shame that such a joyous Presidential election day had to be tarnished by this travesty.
