Historic

It doesn't matter, really, if one is happy or sad or worried or even unsure if it matters that Barack Obama was elected President last night.

We cannot deny that this is a watershed moment in American history. A time when we, as a nation, spoke loudly at the polls. When a new generation of voters and a new type of mobilization of those voters was formed.

With an almost 2-1 margin we elected not only a man of color, but a young politician with a young family. We just brought small kids back into the White House. We have changed the energy that will reside in those hallowed halls.

We can still be cynical, if we want to. That is our right in this democracy.

But we should not doubt that History was made.

As Americans we should all take pride in that.
