1. Its healing.. so, we can go forth righteously with dignity and love and respect
for this country.. its a reclamation.. Its a movement.. Its more than an election.. this is a new feeling that hasn't happened in my entire lifetime. I'm only 29

15. Me too!
My work friends and I stood by our cars after getting out of work this afternoon, talking about how we'd been crying through the whole convention, and just talking about it made us tear up again!

6. I saw an elderly lady at the grocery store with an Obama shirt on today
I stopped her and asked her if she was excited about tonight.She smiled at me and said"I was a young mother when Rev King made his speech..I feel the country has come full circle"I hugged her,and we said goodbye.Obama has that effect on complete strangers...giving them hope that hasn't been seen for a long time.

7. That's because now we actually have hope
Maybe Obama can stall this train wreck. We have to have him. We have to! Starting tomorrow, let's get to work to get him elected.

8. That hasn't happened to me yet, but I'm sure it will when Obama speaks.
I heard him live in an elementary school gym in Mason City, Iowa. I was in awe. He can really move an audience.

12. Tears of great pride in what this country can be
Tears of the joy of hope.

Tears of regret for the great promise wasted.

Tears of pride of the great leaders that share our dreams.

19. It started during the video for me
and hasn't stopped. Especially with now thinking his mother is there beside him in spirit, her heart just overflowing with love.
