Hooray!

So excited! Good luck, President Obama.

From Benj: Barack votes at Shoesmith Elementary! That's where my mama used to take me so I'd become a small-d democrat.

It's wonderful to contemplate the transformative effects that will attend Barack Obama's being elected president tomorrow, as now seems inevitable.  Three are of particular note.  First, the return to sanity and competence as regards national and foreign policy and implementation, along pretty much every dimension.  Second, the rise of a respectful, issues- and fact-based model for political discourse.  Third, and surely most importantly, the deep-tissue cracking of the racist "schemas" (to use Sally Haslanger's term) that have been so foundationally undermining, for so long and for so many.  Here's to the end of these long national nightmares!!

This "hope diary" has all sorts of wonderful embedded visual tidbits.  Enjoy!
