Change We Can Believe In

January 26th, 2008

Just sitting here watching Barack Obama’s victory speech in South Carolina. You all know I’m not a political blogger at all. But I am so moved by this candidate, I just can’t contain myself. I’ve never been this invested in an election in my life. Jake suggested that this is the first election in my voting life that has someone that inspires and brings hope. He’s absolutely right. I’ve never had any hope before that any candidate was actually different.

This time is different. I truly believe Obama is a statesman, not a politician. I have so much hope for this candidate. So much hope for this country. I’m watching him speak, and I have chills and tears in my eyes.

It feels good to have hope again.

    When Clinton took office in ‘92 I remember feeling the same way. I was so full of hope and excitment.

    I need to get invested in this election. Pronto.
