And the realization that hit me and really messed me up for a lot of the night was that as an American, I always thought of myself as an American with all of the promise that America holds. But suddenly last night I felt like I could put my suitcase down finally.
And this from a voter in Washington:
Rosa sat so Martin could walk.
Martin walked so Obama could run.
And run he did. And (smiling broadly) win he did.
Wow.
of you have sat, and perhaps thought, with us!

Makes a guy feel pretty good.
