We watched returns at home, just Bob and I, and drank a bit of bubbly to celebrate. Today comes the clip of Obama addressing his workers — tears streaming down his face. He shook hands, hugged all 700 of them!
This is my car — people don’t do the bumper stickers here so much — but I sure did — all these people won, except for Tom DeGree — first time candidate running against the Republican incumbent in this conservative district. He made a good showing — and maybe next time. He is gay, a teacher and the owner, with his partner, of Wilde Roast Cafe. On Wednesday we picked up political signs we were assigned and I took all these stickers off my car. It is over. Feels like a new beginning.
After our sign was stolen, Bob made a big sign (note the “plan ahead” issue) urging people to vote “no” on the two constitutional amendments — banning gay marriage and voter ID. The amendments failed.
Now, he is working on another sign that will stay up awhile. It will say, “End the Madness. Bring our troops home now.”
It was a great victory! Nice replacement yard sign.
