My brother is in Chicago today, reporting for the Election.
My other brother, who's never really cared about "the voting thing" before, decided to fly out too. Maybe have a beer, be a part of the party: He's now a registered voter.
A couple other buddies decided to join them both. Along with a million other people, or so.
The momentum (or rather, this movement) is electrifying. And in speaking to my brothers, what they are hearing, seeing, being a part of:
Anticipation? Palpable. Engagement? Uprecedented. How people are mobilising? Imagine. We've never seen an Election shaped this way.
Which brings me to this. Heard it today. It seemed to just, simply, really capture:
Lee Dorsey / Allen Toussaint, mixed to Obama's remarks after he won the Democratic presidential primary in South Carolina.
And, of course, there is this too: will. i. am : Read the notes on it. Creative. Cool. Historic.
The Election results won't start tallying in until about six hours from now. Even so: It's happening. It's here. This is history. . .
