OBAMA won Virginia and the presidency by a landslide !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm thrilled! Never in my lifetime has Virginia gone blue, and never since I began voting in 2000 has the election not been a complete disaster. I'm so excited for the progress of this country, and for the first time I'm proud to be a Virginian.

Not to be a downer on such a wonderful occasion, but there is something that all of the above pictures still have in common. Three guesses what that is...

Change for women is coming, and I am hopeful that I'll be around to see a woman in that highest office. But for our country, great progress has been made, and I'm a PROUD mama. I'm happy to know that all children will grow up in a place where their hopes for greatness won't be dashed by the cynicism of their parents or society, because today- we rejoice that we now have a president elect worth our admiration.
