My bones are weary but my heart is soaring this night, when we achieved the beginning of our dreams. It has been a long, hard road, and the one before us won’t be any easier. But I know change is coming to America. I have seen it, in each one of you, and in each one of my phenomenal volunteers who helped make sure Iowa had Barack’s back. And we will continue to have his back as we go forward. Because this election isn’t about him, it’s about us, and what we want for this country. And today we declared it with a resounding roar.

I’m too exhausted, too exhilarated, and still in a bit too much of a daze to be very coherent. But I wanted to give some special shout outs. A year ago, I came to this blog, already a precinct captain, but still a novice in the beauty that the blog could bring. Maryt, you were my first inspiration on this blog. Dan, Leila, and meta, you built that inspiration even more. Nancy, Tamsin, EM, and Joy, you have been my rocks. And then came Christine, and the blog was even better than before. Rick, Sharon, Marcus, Strong Heart, Jedi Master Matt, you lifted me up from even before the caucuses, and you truly have been gifts that keep on giving.

Curious, thanks for representing the best of Hillary supporters who were Barack curious. Lace and Lulu, your energies are unmatched—except maybe by Joe Ruwe. Diana, Val, Cee, Tracy and your whole family in Ct plus your super twin in DC, Kevin Winterfield—each day of this journey I have been stronger because of you. I have been more informed, more engaged, and more entertained. And Sarah, deep, deep thanks for the cookies. They gave incredible delight to my canvassers today, as well as to my boys. And Carey, your efforts in KY have inspired me beyond what you will ever know. In 2012, we will see it a beautiful Barack blue.

Apologies to those I haven’t mentioned; each one of you has been crucial to our success, and I am profoundly grateful for it.

Today we shouted to history and the world, Yes we can. Yes we did. And yes we will.

Thank you for making this possible. See you on January 20.
