A Vote For Change

I didn't want to make this a political blog, but it's hard for me to turn away from my political upbringing, my political life.

Tomorrow I will head to the polls to vote for the first politician within whom I've ever found any true excitement. Any real sincerity. I'm excited to cast my vote for Barack Obama. I'm excited, for the first time, to walk into a polling place and know that I'm not choosing between bad or worse. Tomorrow I will walk in St. Paul's Methodist Church and know that I'm choosing someone I firmly believe can take this country to a place we've not yet seen.

I imagine this is how so many people felt the first time they voted for Bill Clinton. It's hope. It's excitement. It's looking beyond what we've always known as the "inevitable".

So, while it might upset some of you, but won't be surprising to so many others, I cannot disagree with Andrew Sullivan.
