You'll probably hear it on my "Video The Vote" contribution. I got so overwhelmed by this historic moment that I totally lost it. I came out crying from the voting booth.

All my neighbors were asking what was wrong. I couldn't say anything and Mark, who was still around, just said : "She's having a moment." There was a collective, "awwwwww", from everybody standing in line.

I just never though I'd see the day. I wish my father were here. He would have been so happy to cast his vote. To know that all that civil rights work he did during the 50s and 60s got us where we are.

I can't wait for the election results and for the words "Barack Obama is officially the next president of the United States". I will have lots of tissues handy this time around.
