Ohio was amazing. We were in Cleveland in a low income, African American
Neighborhood. We went door to door, making sure people knew where to vote.
Sarah and I knocked on the door of a 71 year old black queen who said. "you don't need to bang on my door, I have a doorbell." he told us to be careful out there and
Said he has voted in every election.
I cried several times just walking around but it was nothing compared to how much I cried when we won. And I mean WE won. The people of this country finally had enough. Conservatives will try to say that the republicans were not true to their ideals. That's not it. The people saw their ideals and said NO MORE. It's over.
Now Darla, I actually admire your courage in some ways for defending some pretty unpopular things here over the years. We were under the gun so I'm sure your opinions will be more amusing and less infuriating now. I've tried to engage you
In dialouge here and there but I find you almost impossible to communicate with since you usually respond to any point made with a sbyde remark or some idiotic reference to Stalin. In any case, we can debate now without worry that anything you advocate will come to pass.
After all is said and done, I come away from all this with a renewed patriotism and a love for the ideals this country was founded on. Even when all seems lost, the people can rise up and wipe the slate clean. I still don't totally believe it, but it's real. The bush administration was installed by 5 supreme court justices and now the Obama administration will replace it on the orders of over 60 million people.
