The world is watching the "election on Obama" - I hope you are as excited about this election.. and our democracy... as I am.

No matter which side wins today, democracy wins. The day itself is truly a referendum BY THE PEOPLE!  Regardless of the outcome the WH cannot afford to miss the message voiced so eloquently by the BLUEST OF BLUE states, Massachusetts.
