Wow.
Freakin' wow.
I don't care what your politics are or what you believe... but this was one of the biggest nights in American History. Declaration-of-Independence big. Emancipation big. I-Have-A-Dream big. I wonder what MLK would have said... I wonder what Brother Malcolm would have said. I wonder if Lincoln would ever have imagined this. Or my great-great-great grandfather Peter G. Morgan, who served in the Virginia House of Representatives during Reconstruction. Or great-great-grandma Josephine or even Nana Jessie. My Grandpa Truman.
How friggin' cool. I made MMB (who's spending the night... she made her acting debut today at a Shakespeare program the Fat Lady put her on to... and she was good!) and the Sun watch Obama's speech on C-Span. I told them when they are grown and have children they can say they watched it...
It does matter if he wins... it matters a lot. But regardless, history was made. Big History.
Can you just fathom this? I saw history today... and good history for a change.

As a kid I used to rack my brains, wondering why I couldn't remember seeing King's I Dream Speech. And then I realized it was because I was less than 3 months old at the time. It's always made me wish I'd been born a few years earlier.
Tonight is history. We will always remember it.
And I LOVE Malia and Sasha!!! They remind me SO much of Sugar and Spice.
I had tears in my eyes the whole time while driving and listening (I know, not good, LOL). I also feel part of something historic. And proud to be an American -- an emotion I haven't had in a VERY long time.
I am so excited to see a candidate who's smart and not afraid to be smart!
(and a Columbia grad, too!)
