I owe you some muffins, I believe. Happiest muffins ever!

Actually, I don't yet know how to make muffins, but I am all fired up with yes-we-can.

I was pretty convinved he'd lose, wether due to overt or occluded racism, or by some travesty like Bush and the supreme court in '04, I wans't sure, but I didn't think we could or would make this choice, or be allowed to make it.

It's somewhat humbling, but it is the most eager and accepting humiliation I have ever accepted. My country is more than what I thought it to be...and that makes my heart glad.

Better said than I would have; Thanks. :)
