I had the distinct privilege of watching the coverage with 300-odd Obama supporters, so that was nice. I lost my voice with all the screaming.
I freely admit to welling up during the acceptance speech (I was *praying* he'd say "gay or straight" towards the end when he was doing his various dichotomies, and he DID!!).
YES! So very awesome. And he actually acknowledged Native Americans, too. Marginal as it is, he's actually doing good for Native Americans in this country - a first!
Obama has always been the man who cares, genuinely and passionately, about civil rights for every citizen, which is a big reason why I love him. I get the impression he doesn't just say he wants equality because that's what you're supposed to say, but that he actually understands what that means and the work it entails. I just. I love Obama so much. *joyous flail*
