still in shock. feeling a whole bunch of emotions... people were still celebrating this morning at work. i heard that last night, there were fireworks in Berkeley (on campus) and in San Fran people were literally dancing and crying in the streets... it was probably like world cup times a factor of 10 all over the country... even though we're facing some hard times ahead - it was so amazing to just see that outpouring of love and joy spilling out every where you turned...
my morning coffee, though, was rudely interrupted by the right-wing spin doctors trying to minimize the significance of this event on tv. tucker carlson was literally WHINING like a baby. on CNN, everyone was trying to say that it was all about race - even though exit polls have already shown that Obama dominated in just about every category across backgrounds, age groups, incomes, and ideologies... i think he was just BETTER in so many ways - and ran an incredibly smart campaign. his people mobilized a force of nationwide volunteers to be reckoned with, and they utilized the internet in so many innovative ways. i was proud, just to be a part of it, even in small ways... so goooo-bama! hope we can ride this wave of hope for a while...
