I am looking forward to so many things.
I am looking forward to...
... an Election Night spent in hope, not dread.
... a spirited debate over national issues, with enough of a majority to get things done.
... grassroots progressives with buoyed spirits willing to work hard.
... an end to the fallacy that it's only any white boy who can be president. (And who knows, perhaps the "boy" part is due to be demonstrated as false within the next 20 years!)
... rebuilding this nation's infrastructure.
... showing the world that we are ready to be citizens.
... research on renewable energy sources taking off.
... a classy and elegant First Lady, who can speak as well if not better than her husband.
... a thoughtful President who can surround himself with competant advisors.
... silly things, like the White House Easter Egg Hunt having a couple of small hostesses as well as the big host and hostess.
I know I am not guaranteed any of these things. But on today, of all days, I am going to allow myself to dream.
What things do you hope to see in the coming hours, days, weeks, months?
