I did. It never fails to surprise me... the feeling I get after voting. It's a weird sense of pride and solidarity. Proud of the fact that while we live in a flawed nation, culture under a flawed government - the fact remains that I have the right to enter a voting booth and cast my vote for the future.
Solidarity, because at the end of the evening as I watch the numbers scroll across the bottom of the screen I see that while the candidate that I voted for didn't win the state I live in, there are lots of people that think the same as I do about him. And across the nation... there are millions of us that are ready for change, hope and something different.
