WELL BY NOW EVERYONE HAS HEARD THE GLORIOUS NEWS. YESTERDAY THE POLL
LINES WERE WRAPPED AROUND BUILDINGS. I WAS SO PROUD TO SEE SO MANY PEOPLE
OUT TO VOTE. LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY DAY YESTERDAY, I WOKE UP WITH A STOMACH
VIRUS SO I WAS NOT WELL AT ALL BUT THAT DIDN'T STOP ME FROM DOING MY PART. EVEN THOUGH I WAS CONSTANTLY THROWING UP IN LNE AND COULD BARELY STAND THEY MOVED ME TO THE FRONT AND I MADE SURE I PRESSED OBAMA'S NAME BEFORE I PASSED OUT ON THAT FLOOR AND WOKE UP IN THE HOSPITAL. I'M GLAD I CAME HOME IN TIME TO WATCH THE POLL CLOSINGS AND SEE VICTORY. I'M SO PROUD TO BE PART OF HISTORY. I WILL BE WEARING MY OBAMA SHIRT ALL WEEK. I BOUGHT ONE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY , INCLUDING MY 1 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. WE ALL HAVE BUTTONS AND OUR LAWN SIGN IS PROUDLY DISPLAYED.
WHEN THE HE HIT 284 EV PEOPLE WERE BLOWIN UP MY PHONE, BANGIN ON MY DOOR, AND I SAW NEIGHBOR'S RUNNING UP AND DOWN THE STREET YELLING OBAMA. I WAS IN TEARS BECAUSE I WAS SOOO HAPPY. LAST NIGHT I SAW UNITY AND IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL. CHANGE IS GONNA COME, BUT BARACK WILL NEED OUR HELP, FOR THE FIGHT IS NOT OVER IT JUST BEGAN. I'M GLAD I HELPED CAMPAIGN, WHEN MY DAUGHTER IS OLDER I WILL BE ABLE TO TELL HER THAT I HELPED AND I WITNESSED IT FOR MYSELF. I'M GONNA GET ME A PAPER TODAY AND FRAME IT. I'M GONNA SAVE MY BUTTONS AND MY SHIRTS. I AM JUST SO PROUD OF THIS MOMENT IN HISTORY.
JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY HOW WAS YOUR DAY LEADING UP TO THE VICTORY AND WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION?
