Super Tuesday

What a fantastic day in the history of the democratic process yesterday was!! At the end of the day, a woman and a black man were locked in a dead heat for the democratic party of the United States of America, presidential nomination - Wow!! If in 1900 the idea of the possibility of this event happening was told to the average American I am sure they would have laughed shamelessly. Because look at it, women did not vote until 1920 and the voting rights act was passed in 1965; so conceiveably a person 90 years old could have witnessed all this change in one lifetime!

Yesterday just had an air of it being an important day. The temperature was mild and sunny, people were happy and pleasant, change was in the atmosphere. In New York City there was the Super Bowl winners parade for the New York Giants, fashion week and last minute electionairing and in New Orleans, across the Christian community it was the eve of the beginning of Lent and the other half of the world's population were celebrating Chinese New Year, everyone had something going on - the energy was crackling it was as if you in your quiet existance were standing at the corner of the world watching it rotate.

In my household, my little ones were enthralled with Barack Obama because he looked like them. My six year old became interested in the process and if a candidacy can do that, it must be alright. That is not to say that there weren't factions such as what split the possibilty of a candidate getting the nod in the democratic party here in this home, there were and as a microcosim of the greater sentiment we were split in our loyaltys in the same way the vote was. But we still love and respect each others right to have differing views and still as one were amazed at the process, united going forward - just as how I believe the democratic party will be regardless of who gets the nomination.

Right now I'm documenting history for my girls - How cool is that?
