While I did not get so sentimental while voting , I totally teared up when I heard he had won…

Obama’s victory is significant for breaking traditional barriers not just here in the US, but for its potential to also influence “change” in other nations’ psyche - the world has been watching this race very very closely…

I couldn’t hold back the tears when I heard Obama’s speech. I believe he is a very special person that will take us far.

*I* cried and I didn’t even vote. I just watched people from my Canadian tv vote. Up at 4 in the morning?! That doesn’t happen in Canada. It’s beautiful and emotional and other bloggers have said the same thing you have.

Thanks so much for stopping by with your astute comments.

We are on the world’s stage with a huge audience and so many of us are participating. I hope we the people, waiting in long lines sometimes for hours, show the world the American people do care.

I read some very cool experiences about people from other countries who became U.S. citizens and today was the FIRST time ever they have been able to vote! Its an exciting day and I don’t blame you for getting emotional. I would have gotten emotional too, but I voted last week in the comfot of my own home, where I could be as emotional as I wanted to be in private.

i had very similiar feelings as BO’s name appeared on the screen with “President of the United States” next to it.

WOW!!!

it will be interesting to see in the future how many people regret not voting for BO. It seems like many folks who voted for the red team because that’s what they do, might look back and realize they were on the wrong side of a historic vote.

The polls opened at 7 am here in the Philly suburbs. I was there at 7, and it was a two and a half hour wait. It’s my first election, and it was totally worth standing in line for that long. Hopefully we’ll be hearing good results tonight!
