I just texted my Mom, who's on the Convention floor: I have never in my life been so proud to be a Democrat
The home of Bill Clinton, who led the greatest time of peace and prosperity America has known in the last half century.
The home of Hillary Clinton, who put 18 million cracks in the last glass ceiling left in our politics.
The home of Brian Schweitzer, a barnstormer against the petro-dictators and corporate cronies who seek to claim the majority of America's riches solely for themselves, and who will likely be our nominee in 2016.
The home of John Kerry, who just gave one of the most impassioned speeches I've ever seen.
The home of Tammy Duckworth, one of the thousands of veterans who has been left behind by the Bush-McCain policies of the last 8 years.
And the home of Barack Obama, the first African-American candidate for President in our nation's history.
The home of tolerance, acceptance, equality, fairness and the values that make this country "that shining beacon on the hill" to pardon a phrase ;-)
I'm only 25 years old, but I've felt my heart swell with pride and eyes well with tears on more than one occasion over the last three days... When Michelle talked about Barack, when Hillary talked about Harriet Tubman, when the Steven Spielberg tribute ran, and when Bo Biden spoke about his father Joe.
I'm watching Joe Biden talk now, and he's about to rip McCain a new one. You go, Joe.
I'm watching Joe Biden, and I want to run outside and tell the world:
I'M A DEMOCRAT, AND I'M FUCKING PROUD OF IT!
