Yes we can heal this nation

SEE ICON.

Except no, this time, this time WE'VE got this. WE'VE GOT THIS. We are going to vote, and volunteer, and hope and fight and win.

Today is a historic day. Take part. Find your local campaign office - you'll be blown away. Follow Huffington Post as the day progresses and stories roll in about record-breaking lines, stories of endurance and courage and hope. Last night I read about a woman who had just had a Caesarian section and had her husband drop her off at the early voting booth so she could vote, still in her hospital slippers. A 90-year old woman, bent in half over her walker, who waited in line so she could cast her vote for Obama.

Thousands of these stories will ring across the nation today. Don't get lost in despair when you hear this polling location or that is getting a bit FUBARed. For every fucked up machine, there are thousands upon thousands logging vote after vote for Senator Barack Obama of Illinois. So far on my flist this morning I have seen stories of record breaking lines twice.

This is not a run of the mill election.

Yes we can. Yes, we can.

TODAY, I VOTED FOR BARACK OBAMA.

:D

And not just me. At the polling place on my campus, over 550 people have voted, as of 1 PM. To put this into perspective: my school has only 1800 students. In 2004, according to a woman who worked at the polls then too, by this time of day only fifty people had voted. That is an increase of AN ENTIRE ORDER OF MAGNITUDE.

*TWIRLS FOREVER*

A matter of hours now guys! WE GOT THIS!

It's called optimism and paying attention to the facts, guys. Forgive me if I say I told you so in an hour.

The results are in...

McCain just conceded, so I would like to reiterate:

This is such an historic moment. Let go of your fears and embrace it!!

YES WE DID!
