Yes. We did.
Author: Raine

Did you wake up this morning still feeling it? The happiness the hope and the change that we are making happen? I know I did. I don't have to tell you how historic last night was. What I do want to tell you is that It was, and still is, an honor and a privilege to be able to share it with all of you.
We have a chance this time to not just move away from the failures of the past 8 years, but to be a part of great change in this country. I for one am so happy that I am here to be a part of it. 58 years ago, Rosa Parks was sent to jail for not taking her seat in the back of a bus. Over the past year, Hillary Clinton puts 19 million cracks in a ceiling. Last night, this is what we saw:
Amazing how far we have come in this country. That is, imo, a beautiful picture of the America dream.
Those people in that picture do not come from wealth, trust funds or inheritance. They do not come from privilege . They come from the same kind of hard working families that you and I grew up in. They are the people we played house with as kids, or stick ball, baseball, softball... They rode their bikes thru their neighborhood streets. They know diversity. They know what it is like to be you and I.
We collectively, as a party and as individuals, nominated good, decent, honest people that care about the things that we care about. We did it.
Now we have 67 days to make sure we complete what was started so many months ago. We are now in the home stretch, and the finish line to the beginning is within our sights. This isn't a dream, these are the winds of change. They have been a long time coming, indeed.
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
:peace: and :heart:

Good morning Raine!
I think I'll take up primary residence here in the morning as I'm fed up with the erratic behavior of the liveblog. If I was home and didn't mind forever refreshing that would be one thing because with one or two exceptions I really like everyone there (and by extension here :hug:). But I can't keep babying a continuously redirecting connection at work.
It sorta aggrivates me that I can't stay awake long enough to see the "main events" each night. I TiVo them but it's not like "doing it live". Caught the first half of Obama's speech last night and loved it.
Got almost run down this morning by an idiot trucker who felt that even though I was in the rightmost lane I should move out of his way because he's too f&*king important to move one lane over. Poor baby must have watched Obama last night, saw the handwriting on the wall and decided to take his frustrations out.

Well Good Morning!
Glad you are safe rabbit! Drivers like that are a thorn in my side.
We are going to be scarce this morning, as Bobber and I will be heading out for our much anticipated vacation. Faye will be filling in on Monday, Shane-o on Wednesday and Random on Thursday... (right?) Friday still needs a filler, so you guys I hope can sort that out... We will be around here and there in between Cocktails, and swimming. Let's hope that Hurricane Hanna goes back out to sea.

I think TriSec said he would take Thurs (since he used to do that back at the old ranch), so if Random™ can do Friday, then we're all covered.
(Notice how I correctly referred to Random™ in the 3rd person...)

I used quite a bit of thought energy trying to steer Gustav away from my in-laws in MS, but with what little is left I'll try to keep Hanna away from you guys. ;)

Seriously.. right about the point last night when Obama said "... this has never been about me - it's about you." I completely choked up, got misty eyed and broke this gigantic wide smile.
I didn't think that was possible, especially after the disaster that has been the past eight years.

Morning, comrades!
Movie day today, so I'll be puttering around a bit this morning. Javi wants to see the "Clone Wars" this afternoon. (yes, I heard it sucks dead penguin's dicks...)
One of my biggest driving pet peeves is tailgaters in the right lane. I picked up a couple on I-93 this trip....I'm at the posted limit in the far right lane, but apparently that's still not good enough for these arrogant assholes.
I've been struck by the palette on the convention floor....it's a good thing to see the different shades of democracy (literally) all uniting for a common cause. How much you want to bet the RNC looks much paler?
Where's our resident pollmeister? How's that bounce?

The Republicans are thinking about delaying the convention until after Gustav makes landfall.
I do appreciate the spot they're in. But they've no one to blame but their Idiot-who's-partying-while-Katrina-destroys-the-Gulf-in-Chief.
Focus on the Family's aim is WAY off.

Ah, but on 128 (I-95 to you out of MA'ers) the speed limit is 55, yet this bozo was giving me high beams and the horn even though there's 3 clear lanes to the left. To which I responded by giving the cruise control one click (about 1mph) down.

My baby Daddy and I were discussing how the wRight will come at him after the speech, and just as we were discussing that he launched into "If John McCain wants to have a debate about who has the better tempermant and judgement to be Commander....". At that moment, we knew...the wRight would have nothing! Obama called them out!!!! He may well have said "Bring 'em on!"
GO JOE-BAMA!

How's THAT going to work? They've got the place booked. Everyone has airfare and hotels booked. People that work have their vacation time scheduled. Who's going to be able to redo all that on short notice?
Maybe they think it will be a good excuse for why the convention hall is so empty... :rofl:

You know what's great about this Campaign? It's presenting moments like this; I was getting off the highway and there was a minivan behind. Then it pulled up next to me at the light and I looked over and there was a middle aged black guy giving me a knowing nod and grin and a thumbs up.

I was waiting up in Providence for my transfer to show up, and this lady drives up to the curb, parks her car with the windows open, and turns on her radio which is playing the speech. I walked up to her and said "you've gotta turn that WAY UP!"

You know what's great about this Campaign? It's presenting moments like this; I was getting off the highway and there was a minivan behind. Then it pulled up next to me at the light and I looked over and there was a middle aged black guy giving me a knowing nod and grin and a thumbs up.
Obama is connecting us through bumper stickers!!!

Say, I know a lot of folks don't cross-pollinate with the message board... But did you happen to see the billboards the Democrats have bought in Minneapolis for the convention?

Mornin' everybody,
Still trying to figure out how I can finance my leave of absence, but I am more determined than ever to work on the campaign - I'll work here in Oklahoma, if I have to, but I despair that Obama will carry redneck Okie-ville, but I can't sit on the sidelines.
Wooo Hooo I'm feeling great this morning :P
Cheers,
mfaye
:hug: :airhump:

I hope you guys have a great vacation.
I used quite a bit of thought energy trying to steer Gustav away from my in-laws in MS, but with what little is left I'll try to keep Hanna away from you guys. ;)

The rich are getting richer. Where does their money come from?
From the rest of use.
A new gilded age is upon us, and it's time to send the robber barons a tax bill to get some of it back.

Sunday's forecast is intriquing
I intimated a few weeks ago over at the liveblog that I might try a Sunrise Drive this weekend. The road opens at 4:30AM, which means I'd have to leave home somewhere around midnight. I think the wife would go for it (she can sleep in the car anyway), but the 60mph winds would probably blow her away.
