change we can believe in

i'm back on board with america. last night watching barack obama's victory speech, i was truly the proudest of my country that i have ever been. i've voted for 8 presidents since i turned 18 and only won 3 times, clinton, clinton, obama. so altho i was in living in DC and estatic for clinton, it pales to this and i've truly never felt THIS before. its awesome and its gonna be great.
thanks for debating with me and hearing me out, i'm glad you all participated.

here's baracks email to volunteers last night:
tracie --

I'm about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone gathered there, but I wanted to write to you first.

We just made history.

And I don't want you to forget how we did it.

You made history every single day during this campaign -- every day you knocked on doors, made a donation, or talked to your family, friends, and neighbors about why you believe it's time for change.

I want to thank all of you who gave your time, talent, and passion to this campaign.

We have a lot of work to do to get our country back on track, and I'll be in touch soon about what comes next.

But I want to be very clear about one thing...

All of this happened because of you.

Thank you,

Barack
