"it began in the backyards of des moines..."


this is absolutely not an "i told you so" post--although i'm over the moon about the election's outcome, i certainly respect the political options of others. this is, however, an "i'm so so so glad to live in iowa" post...although you hear grumbling at times at the marathon duration of the race felt here, i couldn't be more glad for it. our access and opporunity in this process in iowa is a remarkable privilege...and just looking at the photos below (with the perspective of our little man's growth) really blows my mind. these first two were taken in february 2007 in ames the day after the senator announced his candidacy...

The theme of the day is certainly YES WE CAN! The impact of yesterday has already had such wide spread effects: bringing hope for change, reviving democracy, the profound victory that belongs to african-americans, empowering those in recovery, and, yes, me typing political taglines on a blog!
