To answer Ann’s question about posting about politics on a quilting blog: heck yeah! After all, when I think back to what Obama’s candidacy seemed like when it began, “crackpot project” pretty well describes it, don’t you think?
There are some terrific photos and stories out there, but if you want to get all goose-bumpy, I highly recommend these two videos from the campaign:
Signs of Hope and Change
We Have a Lot Of Work To Do
And if you haven’t seen this series of four photos from the crowd at Grant Park on Tuesday night, you really should take a look.
Last but not least, photojournalist Callie Shell has a page of photos she took of the campaign for Time Magazine. Keep clicking the link at the bottom of the page for “more photos.” My favorite is the one in the ice cream shop.
Woo-Hoo!
Woo-Hoo indeed! I’ve never been so excited to vote – I was nearly tearing up while double and triple-checking my ballot on Tuesday.
Oddly enough, while I almost always get a little choked up when going to vote (yes, even for local off-year elections), I didn’t this time around. Maybe because I voted early?
Well, I guess we now know who the computer savvy Crackpot is. Uploading downloaded web pages! Links to Obama campaign videos! And other stuff from who knows where! Cathy leaves the rest of us in her dust.
