Go ahead a shine on it for a while.

This really is her moment to repair her image.

First, I just feel like congratulations are in order. These have been a hard 5 months - and I just kind of feel like those of us in blogsphere - and particularly the Afro Spear and Sphere - contributed to this history making event.

I'm really filled with so much emotion right now. Its so hard to even put it into words that make sense. My kids will be voting for the first time in November. They were babies when Clinton ran the first time and I took them to the polls. That was the first time that my husband voted. We were all so excited about voting for someone with whom we could identify. Even the kids cast "kiddie ballots" for Clinton. The fact that we will all have the opportunity to cast our vote for an African American for President is just so surreal. WOW!!!

There is, in my mind, an irony about Barack's candidacy, too. I talked about it briefly at SjP's. Drop by and let me know what you think.

P.S. Really like the "View" from here :>)

I just hope the Clinton supporters will rally behind him. Either way, the race will be sizzling come November. I'm quite excited!

This is indeed a beautiful moment. I smiled, clapped and shed a few tears. My Great Gran, Gran and Mom would've been so proud to see this moment. What a team he and Michelle are. :smile:

Mike - I think her moment to do so has come and gone. It should have happened last night; now she will have to work extra hard to clean up...

Coop - I agree...a beautiful thing to see!

SjP - I just want to hug someone!

Cynthia - I think after the initial shock, they will wear down...not all of them, of course, but the majority...

D - Oh, I was in tears just watching Barack and Michelle take the stage last night...their interaction is beautiful and one in a million...makes me smile a 1000 watts! :lol:

I posted on the speech as well and questioned what every other journalist was thinking, "What next?"

This democratic campaign will go down in history, and yes, we're witnessing it. Whoo hoo!

@Believer 1964 - Wasn’t this just an awesome night?

I just wanted to soak it all in before I started asking all the questions…but believe me, they came up today…
