"The speech was great, and I was in tears of joy."
Just how I feel. After being up for over 27 hrs yesterday following the election right here at FR, I went to sleep for a few hrs hoping that I would not wake up to the 2000 fiasco. Thank God it wasn't so, this post was great to see, tears of joy indeed.
In spite of being embarrassed by California, there IS one advantage to living here. By midnight it was becoming obvious that W had won, and I went to bed then. Slept like a baby, woke up dancing.
Being at the end of the voting "food chain" CAN have its advanteges!
