Watched the DNC
i'll admit it. i cried a little (and my eyes still hurt a bit from it!). i've never really been too involved in politics before, but finally...someone i believe in. someone who's unafraid to challenge the status quo with what is a vision for america in the 21st century. someone who is in touch with the country he is so eager to serve. someone who still believes that america can be better -- not that we're at a pinnacle or that things are fine the way they are.
yes, yes, politicians are more talk than substance (i'll believe it when i see it!) and sometimes i felt like i was watching a movie because it sounded so perfectly scripted. he said everything i wanted to hear and more. could hollywood have manufactured a better presidential candidate? one who is charismatic and can draw crowds like a rock star? doubt it. but you know, i think his so-called "celebrity status" is not a detriment. we need someone who can energize us as a people. someone who has the backing of the citizenry he takes on washington. someone who can engage us and make us excited for what we believe in.
yes we can!
