Friends, have you ever in your adult life been so excited about politics? Have you ever wanted so desperately to affect change? Tonight is a momentous point in history, and we get to be a part of it.
I have some Republican friends who I respect and admire tremendously, but tonight...tonight my competitive streak is coming out and I am brimming with anticipation as the polls close and Obama is in a strong lead.

Frankly, I don't know how you can deny that this articulate, intelligent, and level-headed man is the best man for the job. Our country needs him, and we're lucky he decided to enter politics, because most people of his caliber stay away from this scene.
I will never forget the first time I heard Barack speak...it was at the Democratic Convention in 2004, and I was blown away. I continue to be blown away and I can't wait to see where he takes us. My only hope now is that we can keep him safe.
