The last time I was in Pennsylvania, working for Kerry. That won't be necessary this time. November 4 is going to be a great night. We might as well start planning. America will change that night, it will amaze the world, and us. We don't know what it looks like on the other side of the ridge, but it's going to be transformative culturally. This is the culmination of the civil rights struggle and of the emancipation proclamation. The colorblindness that Martin Luther King Jr. spoke of will at last be truly tried out. And we will all get to try it.
I expect I'll watch with a few close friends, we'll have a party. But I'm tempted to go to a great public space in New York City, to be in the streets, to see the public demonstration, to see the expression on people's faces and hear the shouts from the cars. Where were you the night that America elected a black man president?
