I'm pretty confident that somewhere between 11pm and 12pm on Nov 4th, 2008... most people on earth will break down in tears as Barack Obama comes before the cameras as the President-elect of the United States of America.

Let's have the best Thanksgiving in a long, long, long time. :)

Let's GET OUT THE VOTE.

[oldtime dfl_er]

1. It's gonna be a six-Kleenex night

Stock up, everybody!!

[Essene]

2. i fully expect grown men around the world who never cry... to suddenly cry

this election is profound and meaningful in sooooo many ways.

[Toucano]

3. It will be like waking up from a VERY LONG nightmare.

Is that a glimmer of light I see through the dark clouds Bush has drawn over the world?

[skooooo]

4. On this, we agree !

I've been scanning YouTube for videos showing support for Obama all over the world. The list seems endless. Everywhere from Thailand to Ireland, the world wants to see Obama win.

[Essene]

7. yep...

and it's not going to be as simple as race or politics or whatever.

i think humanity was most united in the months after 9/11 and that got lost along the way, and one element of an Obama victory will be a sudden rekindling of that feeling...

in fact, i think americans will be in awe at the global response.

it goes way beyond merely hating bush, too.

[Lifelong Protester]

5. That was great, and I am already having to hold the tears

in check, just at the THOUGHT of November 4th!!

[psychobueller]

6. I choke up just thinkiing about hearing the words...

"we are prepared to call it. Barack Obama is the next President of the United States".

[Essene]

9. those words wont do it for me...

it's when he comes to the stage... finally gets the crowd to stop cheering... takes a deep breath... and we all realize the best man won... as he starts to speak.

[luvspeas]

8. I'm getting a little choked up reading this...

I cried when he made the speech in Iowa
I cried when he made the speech on Race
I REALLY cried when he accepted the nomination (to the point my husband asked if I was OK)
Every day feels like a milestone

and YES I completely understand when Michelle Obama said she is proud of this country for the first time. Me too.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

10. I won't be crying: I'll be yelling. Loudly and joyfully.

When it's officially called for Obama I think I'll take a victory lap or ten around the property here. Couple of laps of the field, hooting and laughing, laughing, laughing, with delight that he did it and with sorrow that it took 8 years.

I'll be spontaneously grinning for a week.

[Brazenly Liberal]

11. I've already burst into tears

several times just thinking about it. I'm going to bring a dish towel to the polling place with me - a hanky won't be enough.

That I lived to see this is something I never expected and for which I will always be thrilled.

[Essene]

12. it's the expectations game... yes

i think that's the root.

this has been a depressing era not only in american history but human history, and obama being elected based on raw and unapologetic hope is pretty staggering.

[ladjf]

13. If Obama wins the world will commence with the largest mass

psychological healing in the history of mankind. Everyone will see that America, with all of its flaws, was able to overthrow the criminal regime that has be more or less brutalizing the world for forty years.

But, until then, make sure YOU do everything possible to see to it that the will of the people is upheld in the election.

[Erin Elizabeth]

14. Oh I'm going to bawl my goddamned head off.

Seriously. I'm going to alternate sobbing with joy with screaming and then change it up and throw in some random staring in shock at nothing and just trying to process it, then screaming again, followed by another round of sobbing and possibly slapping my palms against the floor and maybe throwing confetti into the air.

And drinking a lot.

I'm not expected at work on the fifth.

[Essene]

16. "some random staring in shock" LOL

there will be a lot of that, too :)

[Erin Elizabeth]

17. Especially if my biggest dream on the electoral map

comes true. And I'm not even going to type it out for fear of jinxing it. If it happens, believe me, people will be posting about it here.

If THAT particular thing happens, it'll take me weeks to get over the very happy shock of it.

[City of Mills]

15. I can't wait to see international newspaper headlines

"THANK YOU AMERICA!"
"A HOPEFUL NEW BEGINNING"
"TERRORISTS OUSTED FROM THE WHITE HOUSE"
"OBAMA ELECTED: WORLD REJOICES"
"WE'RE NOT SORRY - CONGRATULATIONS OBAMA, AMERICA"

[rainbow4321]

18. Yep...no wearing contact lenses for me that night

They're a bitch to get out during/after crying.

[MrMickeysMom]

19. RELEASE...

They're the kind of tears for which I won't want a Kleenex! I'll just let em go... I suspect you are right.

For 8 long, miserable years I've been building this unbelievable toxic bubble inside. I recall days before W and the way it seemed pepople HAD an outlooks on the future, then days since W, and how it feels as IF there's no future for us but a dead one.

To let it go... to let all that go behind me, I've got to let it rip. It'll probably come in waves as full reality sets in. Then, I know I'LL be able to return to myself again.

Amen.

[gblady]

20. Oh,.....MAN,

I can hardly wait...
I know I will be a blubberin' fool...
have been many times just thinking about it...

but that is perfectly fine by me.

[BrklynLiberal]

21. Just thinking about this made my heart start pounding....

[AZBlue]

22. That's awesome - thanks for posting!

[windoe]

23. What a great day that will be!

[Terran]

24. My partner, a 55 year old African-American man

who cries easily but doesn't like to admit it, is going to be *beside* himself. Me, I'm gonna run out in the street and scream "PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!!"...and then go back in and hug him.

[Blondiegrrl]

25. It won't be the first time. When the 2004 election was called, I burst into tears then too.

Of course, my reason for crying back then was quite a bit different ...

[flygal]

27. I woke up and my husband tried to joke that it was just a bad dream

and it really hit me. I've talked to so many others who were numb in 2004 - how could so many people fall for this bullshit. And now so many are seeing obama for what he is - not his skin color, not his name, not his party, just his ability to be a strong leader.

I think I'll cry right now :cry:

[FatDave]

26. Maybe. But first...

I will dance.

[Essene]

28. you can do both at the same time, im sure

that's probably my reaction
