Abstract

I was overcome with emotion on election night as I watched CNN declare Barack Obama as the next president of the United States. Many of the feelings stirred in me that night n feelings of pride, of overwhelming joy, of utter disbelief n were also evident in the expressions of my 18-year-old daughter, who had voted for the first time, and in the jubilation of my 16-year-old twin boys, who rarely care about anything political.
