Obama, Vote Hope, My Politics

Posted by: Crystal In: Life

Obama makes me giddy with excitement!

I try to avoid politics on here. I talk politics all day lately it seems, because it is my job, but I am so excited about Iowa. I didn’t think it could happen, and the fact that it DID, it’s like–WOW. Everyday we work trying to lay groundwork for people to know our candidate, we never know if it works, and poll after poll, we tried to knuckle down and persevere. To have it actually happen, in spite of the fact that I had this pessimism inside for so many months, is liberating.

“For many months, we’ve been teased, even derided for talking about hope. But we always knew that hope is not blind optimism. It’s not ignoring the enormity of the task ahead or the roadblocks that stand in our path. It’s not sitting on the sidelines or shirking from a fight. Hope is that thing inside us that insists, despite all evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us if we have the courage to reach for it, and to work for it, and to fight for it.” – Senator Barack Obama
