5. I've never felt this way about a candidate before

I know. i had to drive 2 hours to get there and wait 2 hours in line but it was so worth it. I still get goosebumps when i think of it. I want to go to the inauguration with my whole family in january.

7. Welcome to DU, Mjkcj, and I'm envious! And I've never felt

so much optimism about a candidate in so long either. He awakens the possibilities for all of us, and we sure need some new ones.
