I cried, because I had let myself believe we had a chance of changing things and because I believed that people would not vote on their fears and hates. I cried because I had let myself believe.
I nearly cried myself, and I'm not usually one to show my emotions. I'm even more impressed with Edwards' composure knowing that his wife had breast cancer. Seeing his strength in what had to be the hardest time of his life so far has given me the force of will to pull myself together and realize that I've got to keep trying to make a difference, no matter how hard it will be. I'll probably fail, but at least I'll have stood on my convictions.
Other than the two Johns' speech, the only thing to give me any comfort the last few days has been Lou Reed. "You're going to reap just what you sow..."
