Today I'm Going to Make You Cry
This helped my election jitters more than Xanax or even IV sedation ever could.
From the vast archive of Obama videos on YouTube, this is the very noble Mr. Charles Alexander, 86 years old, of Colorado. He is an Obama volunteer who won a raffle to have a one-on-one with Senator Obama.
Are you sitting down? 'Got your tissue box? Cell phone off? Okay, go - and don't say that I didn't warn you.
Obama/Biden '08. For hope and not fear.
Bless him.

awesome, when he welled up at the end and was talking about the children and the youth, I started crying too.

Now I'm afraid to watch it! I'm enough of a hormonal mess as it is. I'll take your-all's word for it that it's heartfelt. I voted for hope and teared up just from seeing all the people voting early.

Thank you so much! I had just turned off the news in favor of The Dog Whisperer; feeling overwhelmed by the economy and burned-out by the election. Your post brought it full circle and heading west again.

You were absolutely right. Copious tears. Bless his heart, you get the feeling that volunteering for this is the one thing he has now. I'm glad I already voted. I feel like I have done what will make Charles happy.
