But I think it's equally momentous that we have voted an unabashedly intelligent, intellectual candidate. One who didn't grow up rich or in power.
One of my first thoughts was oh, god. SMART. Thank you.

They're playing Jackie Wilson as they await Obama's arrival. Is he going to show up driving the Statue of Liberty?

Michelle Obama is so gorgeous. I am undecided about her dress though.

“Not dead yet!”
Barb is me. We're very pretty. And tired.
Yes, we are.
All her expressions said one thing to me: "2012, you betcha!"
Exactly! Like she was scanning the crowd... assessing...
And OMG, that family is so damned handsome!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I can't begin to imagine what a difference a role model like Obama could make.Cannot be said enough.

And AGAIN, whoever styles the Obama family does a good job. I love the color combos, even if I hate Michelle's dress. And I think red is a super pithy choice (and flattering to all of them as they are winters in terms of colors).
I mean, Obama comes across not just as smart, but as nice and genuine. Not the flash of the Clintons but equally compelling.
