I cried when they made the networks called it. I cried when I saw Michelle. I cried again during his speech, talking of a 106-year-old woman who was born before women had the right to vote. I cried when Turner woke up right after the speech. I cried again this morning watching his speech again.
Wow. My husband said this was the first time in his life (and he first voted in 1980, against Reagan) that he voted FOR someone, and not against someone else.
And this area, where I was so afraid from everything I was hearing (and that McCain/Palin signs and stickers seemed to outnumber Obama/Biden ones 2 or 3 to 1) would NOT support Obama? Close to 70% support for Obama!
