President Obama

The best thing about this campaign is how I feel right now. Aside from the exhaustion and pride, passion and disbelief, I have this unshakable conviction that it is not over.

The canvassing, fundraising, and phone calls might end with the campaign season, but I have invested in my candidate, in my country, and in my future, and I plan to hold myself and my new president accountable.

I met him. I talked to him. I creeped him on facebook. He will never know my name but I feel a connection to Barack Obama and his life story that encourages me to believe in him. Maybe it's naïve to trust a politician, but this man and everything his campaign embodies have given me new hope to wake up to tomorrow.
