and this morning I saw kids holding Obama 08 signs up in traffic (by kids I mean 18-27 year olds). My coworkers report kids in the Bart Station holding Obama signs. On the doors near my apartment I could see Obama stickers and signs, but no signs of Clinton.
I don't expect Obama to win California, especially given that half the voters here are absentee and have already mailed in their votes, before the Obama "surge" really got started--but the excitement in the election is palpable and I think its good for the country. I love the fact that the next generation cares who is president--and that so many more people are voting in this election than usually do.
It's sunny here. I feel optimistic. I've already voted and it made me feel like a lucky citizen to have that opportunity--to have more than one person on my ballot who I respect is a privilege.
Here's to a good day for Democracy.
