Who would have ever dreamed a Democrat, a black man, someone on the right side of wrong would be win in Indiana?!
My whole life, with every election, I've watched Indiana pop up on the big map first, before any other state, as RED. Last night, from a sofa in Vancouver, BC, I watched the "twisting and the turning," as my grandmother would say, of the electorate who couldn't decide whether it was backing Obama or McCain. Yes we can. By the time I went to bed, they hadn't called it, but Obama was up. This morning, I woke up to learn he'd won the state by 23,000 votes. YES! We can.
I am so proud. I've never in my life felt more proud to be an American, a Hoosier, a citizen of the world. This is a great day.
