I supported Hillary in the Primary till she lost in NC.
I decided to support Barack after that, not because I quit loving Hillary, but I knew that Barack would be our nominee.
I threw my support behind Barack, but I still had my doubts about his electability because he is mixed African American/White. I should have trusted Michelle (by the way, I am mixed Latino/White). I know this statement will make people mad, but it's the way I felt.
When Barack chose Biden, I was upset, because I thought his best chance was with Hillary (even though she is an accomplished woman who I think is even smarter than her husband, I thought that many people would vote for her based on Bill's legacy).
Through the campaign, as I got to know Biden better, I grew to love him more and more.
I was worried all day yesterday, and when I realized we won, it was fantastic... but it still seemed UNREAL.
2004 really upset me. I'm a younger voter, and it just didn't sink in that we had won.
Everything Barack had done was PERFECT. I wouldn't change a thing. I'm so proud of him. I'm proud that he knew EXACTLY what he was doing all along.
On my way home today, as I thought about what happened, I cried.
This is not some stupid story I made up. Every word is true.
It feels so good today. Thank you my sisters and brothers.
I'll never doubt again what CAN be. Barack proved it to us.
