Is anyone crying right now?
Um' I am not a crying type person, no offense, but it just doesn't happen often. But let me tell you now, as a young black male watching these returns I am a MESS.

THANK YOU DU! THANK YOU AMERICA! We did it! YES WE CAN!

4. Crying and cheering
I'm behaving like a sports fan watching her underdog team win the championship. I am so happy to see this day.

6. I was earlier, I'm ok now, I'll be an absolute mess later.
Honestly, I started getting nervous when the states first started coming in - that map was starting to look too red to me. But all of a sudden it swung - and I cried then.

I'm on the edge of my seat about Arizona, so I'm too obsessed with those numbers right now.

But when it's finally done - when he hits 270 - I'll be crying.
When McCain concedes - I'll be crying.
When Obama makes his speech - I'll be BAWLING!

:hug:

I'm feeling better now, but a little drained.
