I Barack'ed my vote, have you?

I can’t believe today is finally here!

I voted in the last two presidential elections, both of which were very crucial elections at the time, even though neitherof my candidates won. (Well, they technically DID win, but it was stolen from them. I'll always believe that.)

But neither of those compared to the excitement and joy I feel about this election, regardless of the outcome.

It literally felt like Christmas morning when I woke up this morning to Barack my vote.
The text messages started early that day from friends. Actually, they started weeks ago as many of my friends text messaged me photos of the early voting lines in their cities.
Then, I started getting the text messages this morning and immediately jumped up to get ready to do the same.
And as I watched the live coverage of Barack and his family voting at the poll, tears almost came to my eyes.

I mean, this is happening, right here, right now, in our lifetime, y’all. In our lifetime…

And of course, just like everyone else, I worry about his safety and I worry about whether or not his victory will be stolen from him just as it's happened in the past presidential elections.

But as my momma keeps saying - if it's God's will for Barack to win, there ain't nothing nobody can do to stop it. Not even the devil himself. And we've seen that be proven time and time again through his campaign. Through the Rev. Jeremiah Wright scandal, through the vicious attacks by his own party during the primaries, through the personal attacks on his family and background.

So if you haven’t yet, I hope you’re making some kinds of plans to go be a part of history today. Whether you’re Baracking the vote or McCaining the vote, make your voice heard!
