When I Knew

At 8:30 this evening Chris and I went down to grab dinner at our friend's, Marc and Blue, resturant (which is just downstairs from our apartment). They didn't have a TV so we set them up with our extra TV and an antenna. In exchange for the use of the TV & rabbit ears we got a free dinner. Hooray!

At 8:30 the only possibly weak state that went for Obama was Pennsylvania. Virginia, Florida and Indiana were too close to call. I was a little nervious and a little down.

So we went to dinner.

And we slowly watched the returns come in I felt better and better and at about 9:30 when Ohio went easily for Obama and the electoral count went to 195 I knew, it was done. I sent an email out to a bunch of my friends. It said:

195 + CA, HI, WA & OR = win

And he just did. It got called moment ago.

And I started to cry.
