am I the only one?
i'm watching the roll call, and cannot stop crying! i'm just silently weeping over here.
i think this may be one of the most important and momentous elections of my life. but then there was 2000 (infamously) and 2008, so i don't know. i just feel so emotional, watching democracy and maybe regrowing a little hope for my country. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() blubbery barbara, that's me. am i the only one?

7. I don't really get the whole "history being made" thing. I always knew
A woman will be president in my lifetime.
To me, Obama was a lot different. That was truly history and a "only in America" thing. Many nations have made women heads of their state, but never has a primarily euro-white-centric country elected a man of African decent, especially one with such racial inequality and our history of we have treated them. I'm sure many will disagree, but everyone is entitled to their opinion. |

8. in this election
i'm thinking more of how scary republicans are, but it is still historical that we will elect a woman to the presidency. imo
