On facebook, people have posted over and over that they are proud to be Americans tonight -- some of them adding how they are surprised to hear themselves saying it. I was surprised to feel proud and hopeful (and a lot of other things) for the first time in years. I broke into tears at 8pm when the west coast was decided in Obama's favor and his victory was announced by all the networks. They were, of course, happy tears.
