same here, same here... -------------- Original message -------------- From: Bosco Bosco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I'm having a rare moment of being nearly speechless from joy, surprise, amazement and a bundle of other emotions. I just keep switching from those tears of joy to bouncing up and down with excitement.

Obama gave a phenomenal speech tonight, McCain was boring and seemed like someone making bad jokes saying "Is this mic on?", and Hillary ruined a chance to be seen as a someone who'd have Obama's back. By pointing out that she won "more" votes than he, by listing all *her* accomplishments over the years, by the insulting ploy of asking her supporters to e-mail her and tell her "what to do" (translation: start a 'Make Hillary the VP' campaign), by refusing to even congratulate Barak (which she could have done even without a concession), and by completely ignoring and failing to comment on the historic nature of a man of color getting the nod, she completely lost the chance to mend fences. It was a divisive, self-serving, churlish, sulking speech. I have been amazed--amazed- -at how some of her female supporters have shown so much hatred for Barak, and tonight will only serve to stir them up. Hillary continues to show *why* she shouln't be the VP candidate . Even assuming she'd help obama get the White House ( a big "if" given her negative ratings and baggage) soon as they got in she'd start plotting against him. And crazy bill--no way I'd want that man around! I say she should not get the nod, and tonight she put down a memory of the kind of person she can be that will never be forgotten. And as for Obama, i don't know what will happen, if he'll win, or if the racism in America will see him defeated. Whatever happens, i am *incredibly* proud and happy that a man of color is really running for President! This is an historic moment we should all celebrate, regardless of color, gender, or political leanings. We are witness to something that has not happened in all the centuries of the Republic. Whatever else you think or feel or look forward to, take a moment, just a moment, and really think about the power of this time. This is a time all our ancestors--those who cried and died and suffered and prayed and looked to Heaven--prayed for, a time when someone who looked like them could stand for the highest office in the land. I hope they're all looking down and smiling. Okay, I did my choked up moment, cried my tear of joy, sang hosanans to Heaven. Now it's time to get to work! :) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
