I'm exhausted and I have to get on a plane in 9 hours so this is going to be brief, but will of course be followed by more words and more eloquent words.
The point is that we did it. Again.
As I write this, CNN says President Barack Obama is re-elected with 304 electoral votes -- but a few states are still left to count. (cough, Florida)
In addition to this great joy, there are a slough of new women in the Senate! And at least two states have added marriage equality to the rights of their citizens. And, hilariously, at least two states have moved toward legalizing marijuana.
Important things happen every day in this country, but today shines.
I am so proud to have cast four ballots for Barack Obama (primaries and generals) and would cast a few more if he could keep running. What a delight.
We worked so hard to get where we are.
Cheers to four more years, Mr. President.
