I tuned in Dan Rather on the CBS Evening News, and I shall never forget his first words:
"Change is in the air..."
I knew then we were gonna have a good night. CBS had the exit polls and of course they couldn't release them until after each state had closed...but they knew.
And I KNOW...we are going to have an excellent night in about a month.
GOTV...... of course, so I won't have to read ten replies telling me that we have to vote.

It was thrilling!
Joe is a bit older than I am, but between him and Kamala - we are going to kick some Republican butts!

(4,723 posts)I should, it was my time voting. It was a chilly, cloudy day. I was a freshman in college, and had just turned 19 a couple of weeks before. My grandma picked me up from school (I was in college and had no car) and drove me out to the small village where my precinct was based. I was so excited to finally get to vote, voted for Bill Clinton very enthusiastically.
This is what gets me. Young people often don't vote. I was champing at the bit.
