Watching the election results with friends last night was so deeply inspiring. All that talk of hope throughout the months of the campaign became manifest in the votes that were cast. Both McCain and President Elect Obama (I love saying that!) were gracious and put forward the vision of a united country striving for the best we can be. I'm delighted that Obama won and that he'll have a Democratic majority to work with in the Congress. I'm very proud of our country for overcoming the racism that plagued us institutionally for centuries. People out on the streets at 11:30 last night were delighted too - lots of chanting and cheering with car horns in response. Hope you celebrated too!
