anon lady –you’re not alone –in your reaction to that first speech –on the tarmac review stand. I like everyine had been hearing her name and had seen a brief clip or two on tv or net, but had never heard her speak or say anything ‘serious’. I sat in front of the tv that day –long blue, covered with the glum context of all my faves having dropped out and poor old ancient mariner McCain with his broken arms and nonplussing quirks up against this smooth strange languid Obama operative –and watched her speak for the first time, and reacted pretty much as you did. well, i didn’t jump up right away, but i could not stop from welling up and spilling tears. My youngest walked into my office about halfway and asked me what was the matter why did i have tears in my yes. I said, sweetheart, we just won the election. She watched with me awhile, and agreed.

fooey.
