This Was a Good Day

It's been a long electoral season. And I think I've made it as clear as possible that I'm an unrepentant Obamacrat. But I've got to say, that felt pretty good. Less than two weeks left, and there's no shortage of work still to do (if you're in Colorado the 1st-4th, hit me up). But, if he pulls this thing off, let's take time for two things (1) No matter your political leaning, no matter your vote, we can be pretty proud that we will have done something that no other western country has done, elect a man of color to our highest office. And we can be even prouder that he got there, not because of it or despite of it, but because he deserved it. (2) It will be time to demand that every last thing we've hoped for has follow through, particulary making us leaders in new energy, health care and technology. Hopefully we haven't used up too much of our contrarinism on the current President. It's our job to force him to be the President we expect him to be.

Last thing, no, he hasn't won. And I don't really care what the polls look like today, democrats have screwed up worse before, and they'll screw up worse again. No time for counting chickens.

Now, at least there are some Hollywood directors still fighting for McCain...
