somewhat unsettling knowing my absentee ballot might not really be counted. Isn’t a deal breaker for Obama in MD, but still dampens my faith 2 days ago

thinking an Obama victory would be an emotional cathardic realease from the collective Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder from 8 years of Bush 1 day ago

I love the smell of blowout in the morning… tastes like victory. God I hope McCain doesn’t steal this one. Or if they do, they get caught 1 day ago

The collective consciousness has now officially eaten my focus factor. I’m experiencing an excited anticipation not felt since Christmas ‘86 about 15 hours ago

Transcendent. Look forward to more reality-based Obama speeches filled with nuance & an open-hearted spirit of collaboration. Tears flowing. about 9 hours ago

Obama is like Craig Newmark in that he leads from behind and doesn’t let his ego get in the way. He was somewhat subdued to build bridges. about 9 hours ago

Waking up excited, happy, optimistic & inspired because of national politics. Wow, I’ve never been able to say that. Feels like a dream. :) about 2 hours ago

We posted an Obama video back on Feb 18, 2007 after giving him money. Quite amazing how much of his vision was actualized http://is.gd/6pdf less than a minute ago
