All four of us stayed up to watch the election returns. I couldn't really allow my self to believe that the polls were right and Obama would win. It was a wonderful night.
What really surprised and impressed me was seeing the tears in the eyes of so many Obama supporters , supporters of all races, sexes and ages. I had tears in my own eyes hearing the results and listening to the speeches of both McCain and Obama. The election results say something powerful to many of us about how this country is growing and changing for the better. It is powerful to have lived to see an election season that included a woman and a black man running for the highest office in the land, to see a woman running for vice president and to be a viable contender. What is especially meaningful is to see the person I believe is best suited ,out of all those who threw their hats in the ring, win so resoundingly.
I also want to say how powerful and healing McCain's speech was. I think that speech showed the real McCain, a McCain that was lost during this very negative campaign.
This day means a lot to me, to my family. Life is good
