Mike called the election officially at 9:20pm for Obama. Yes, Mike beat everyone- CNN, MSNBC, etc. I watched Obama's acceptance speech- and Mike fell asleep on the couch. Did you see Jesse Jackson crying?? At first I thought it was all fake tears- and then I realized he was really crying!! Wow!! Then it just got all uncomfortable, because the cameras were still on him and the people around him seemed to be ignoring his crying. Weird. Enough about Jesse. Who was that White guy in front of Jesse and then later in front of Oprah- she even had her head on his shoulder. Must be someone rich- if anyone knows (Jill??) please let me know. Obama is now our next president-- Finn and I dropped off cookies for Obama at his "office", which really must have secured the win for him. His speech in Wicker park was historic- I will have to post video from it later. Thanks to everyone for voting- Mike stood over 2 hrs in line to early vote- Finn and I only had to wait 20 mins. As I type this, it looks like Obama may win Indiana by 14,000 votes- if so that is a feat that has not happened here in over 40 years. Must be the Cookies!! Or my yard sign!! OR my bumper stickers?? OR car magnet?? Or Obama buttons on my coat?? Or just that finally Indiana woke up and got a clue!! Ha! Goodnight from a New Blue state!!
