He's so absolutely the right choice for right now. I am so happy.
But Prop 8? Scaring me, seriously scaring me. A constitutional fucking amendment?!? What the fuck is wrong with people?

Why does Jessie Jackson look less thrilled than Sarah Palin tonight?
He was crying earlier. Maybe he's trying to regain his composure?

“Not dead yet!”
I think he's stunned, Matt-- the earlier pictures of him weeping, seemed pretty unrestrained with joy. Say what you will of the guy, he's been in the trenches a lonnnnnng time.
He probably wasn't sure this day would ever come.

Our wings are not tired
I am so thankful for the opportunity to listen to a speech by a leader who can make me tear up with joy and hope
Heck, a leader who doesn't sound like a hick from the corner bar.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
So beautiful:
I will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it’s been done in America for 221 years, block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.What began twenty-one months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek – it is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. It cannot happen without you. So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in.
