Breathing a Huge Sigh of Relief

November 4th, 2008 at 10:39 pm.

I think my favorite comment of the night came from someone on CNN. They commented that the Republicans liked to say that rural, white America was the “real” America. Looking at the crowd at Grant Park, however, you could see people of all ages and all colors celebrating together, and that, they said, seems to be the real America. 

I’m so happy the real America won tonight.

Yes we can. And yes we did.

    I wish I had heard that.
    So true.
    I wish I could have been there, in Grant Park.

    I love how Palin referred to those towns and areas as “real America”, when most of the population lives in major cities!! Ughh she sucks.

    Yay Obama!
