IF there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference. It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled – Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America. It’s the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful o...

today is a good day. today is (well "was" when i started the blog) november 4 th , 2008 and barrack obama has just been elected as the 44 th president of the united states. holla ! i think all this time during the election i still had my doubts over whether he would actually win. after 200 and 2004 it sort of felt like a democrat might be a long way from the white house. look at us now. we got together in a big way. hopefully this is all the beginning of some good times to come. congrats to all fellow dems out there.

on the eve of the probably the most important election in our history...i was just thinking. What is the difference between a movement and a revolution? Is it scale? I think this entire campaign season has been a movement. a shift in the way this country will move towards getting back to its place at the top is under way. obama is getting hispanics, blacks, and youg people out to register and hopefully to vote. people that have always felt like their vote doesnt matter are starting to understand that maybe it does after all. No matter what, people are tired of government that starts wars and sells our country away. They are tired of the bullshit “lets make all our friends rich and get back at dads old enemies” sort of politics. Whoever our next president is (and unless the moons on jupitor have aligned for john mccain, it should be obama :x: ) they better come with fresh ideas and make them happen. No more stalling on progress. "these are historic times we're living, bros!...
