Obama!

I usually don't comment much about politics, but I feel this is a worthy exception. This is the first election that I've legitimately been excited about. Granted last election I had pretty strong interests in the outcome, but moreso for fear of the incumbent winning. This year was more about actually getting behind a man and sincerely hoping that he would win. Actually believing in him and his message.

Being in Chicago, I got the chance to head down to Obama's victory rally in Grant Park. This was one of the more amazing experiences I've ever had. Being around hundreds of thousands of like-minded people, witnessing history in the making. The excitement, energy, and anticipation of the night was in every sense of the word, awesome. These words don't really do justice to the atmosphere of Grant Park last night. Either way, I'm still on a bit of a high from last night and excited for what's to come!
