let's see how far we've come

Well, folks, it's the moment.
Here is where we get to see how far we've actually come, how progressive we can be, how in need of change we really are.
If Obama wins, there'll probably be another update from me tonight or tomorrow. If McCain wins, well, it was nice knowing you.
This is the exact point in history where we will trace all of the country's ensuing actions to. This will be the textbook event that we teach schoolchildren about, that we credit with the sharp and sudden turn of our nation.

Will it be good, or will it be bad?

Will this be the moment when the ugliness of prejudice was officially declared "defunct," or the moment when we all looked down at our hands and tried to make sense of why we resigned ourselves to four more of the same?

It's a choice. Some of you may disagree with my political views, but either way, it's a choice.

It's time to hold our breath and step.
