Tuesday, November 4, 2008 is a day that will go down in history.  Of course, it was election day, a day that saw the election of a man of colour to the Presidency o the United States of America.  We awoke this morning to the reality of President-elect Barack Hussein Obama.

I got together with a group of Obama volunteers at a local watering hole called 336 Main on Main street here in downtown Plymouth. We watched the returns, and the big event in Chicago on the big screen while sipping Long Island ice tea(s).   I walked down there at about 9:00pm; I staggered back home at about 1:00am, feeling no pain. :-)

A good time was had by all.

BTW, during his primary run for President in 1988, Jesse Jackson said: "Maybe it's my job to bang on the door so one day someone else can walk through it."  The words of a great man.  I watched an understandably tearful Jesse Jackson there in Grant Park last night.
