anyone still in shock? i am. when i was volunteering last november, i never thought barack would be president. when i caucused in february, i never thought barack would be president. even in the days before the election, as i heard that even KARL ROVE predicted a landslide victory, i never thought barack would be president. i don't know what that says about me, probably that i'm negative and judgmental. i don't think i could be any prouder of my country than i am right now. i've never been an america-hater, and i love government and politics, but i never thought that i would help elect a black president at 23.

you know who i wish was alive to see this? besides the obvious, obama's grandma, mlk, even former governor george wallace...?

"And although it seems heaven sent, we ain't ready, to see a black President..." - tupac, 1998 (sort of...)

i wish he could see this.
