I have never been more proud to be an American.
10:11pm CST: Barack Obama is the next president of the United States. We spent all day working the polls at our precinct. We helped hundreds of people who'd never voted before cast their ballots for (what we assumed at the time, and now know from our local results) Barack Obama. We had a 65 year old white man, totally illiterate, come out and vote for Obama because, as his wife (who'd never voted before either) said, they "felt like they just had to get out and vote for him." She told Megan, "He's 65, and I know I'll never get him to read or write, but he believes in voting."
Thank you so much, America, you've made the right choice.
