I was too nervous to go to the Driskill to the watch party with all of my friends. Instead, I am home, alone, watching MSNBC. I have been speaking to everyone by phone and text throughout the night.
I was on the phone with BP when Ohio and New Mexico fell turned blue. We knew at that point that it was over. It is over.
Barack Obama will be our president. I spoke with my brother who said “the real America” voted . . . our America that lives in cities, is integrated, is educated.
They tried the identity games again and lost.
I am so proud of my country, so thrilled for us all. It’s a generational change. It’s important and it’s moving.
Even my mother, who voted the other way, said, “Well, this is about you kids, and not about me. I love my country.”
BP and I have plans to celebrate with champagne when he flies back, since it feels like New Year’s Eve.
