You may not know this, but I'm a bit of a political geek. I've been this way since the last presidential election and I read 5 or 6 political blogs a day. Tonight I was such a geek that I watched the DNC live on CNN.
I cried twice.
The first time was when Ted Kennedy actually said the words "gay or straight". The second was during Michelle Obama's speech. She was so impassioned and clear, it made me proud. Proud, actually, to be an American who understands what our country can represent. It was pretty impressive.
If you get a chance, catch some. Be impressed by the diversity of faces in the crowd and wonder, as I did, how these people aren't the representatives of the diversity we all hope to enable.
