Congrats on being so involved and kudos for the acknowledgement by Essence of that commitment.

So i am staying up tonight mostly and pray for Barack Obama to win.

I Feel Good.

Finally by tonight (g-d willing) we will have a president who understands our country and respects the people who live in it. I am so excited for tonight, even though we have to wait until January to see him in office. even though u are not able to vote, miss bella, you have held important, meaningful, and much needed debates here on your blog and have given many people a true view of this preidential race. so you have done your civic duty and helped us voters to make honest decisions about this election, so thank you!Obama 08′, 09′, 10′, 11′, and 12′!!!

Fingers are crossed.

Hopefully by the next election you will be up and voting! Good wishes your way! And I don’t care how liberal and elite I may be, voting this morning was just so freaking moving, go USA! Go Barack Obama!

I went at 1 pm, and it took me about 10 songs on my Ipod to get into the booth. (I had to turn my cell phone off, so I couldn’t check the time). I had my driver’s license to verify my address. Let me tell you, even though the line was wrapped around the hallway (down one side and up the other), people were pleasant, and in an upbeat mood. The poll workers were fantastic, and I made sure to thank them for keeping everything running so smoothly.

And let me tell you what my 10 year old daughter said last night after I told her that Sen. Obama’s grandmother died. I told her that I was sad that she wouldn’t be able to see her grandson become the next President of the United States. My baby said, “Yes, she will, Mommy! I know she went to Heaven and she’s looking down on him and us and she is very proud of him. I am, too! Barack the Vote!!”

My heart just melted. :)
I will be so nervous waiting for the results tonight!! CNN and the internet will get an extensive workout!!
