I got in a cab and headed up to the UWS to visit my brother and sister-in-law, and sprinted in the door just as the election was called. The entire neighborhood erupted in cheering, and I hugged my brother so tight I thought he might burst (and vice versa). It was such an amazing day - I've never been so perfectly, simply joyful in my life. #electionday2008

Being on the west coast, I was wide awake when it was called. I devoted a few pages to my scrapbook to pictures from the magazines, including a gorgeous, two-page picture of the Obama family walking out on state in Chicago.
I still think of that hope and promise. I know there's a lot to be done but I've always felt that Obama would need time. #electionday2008

I thought I'd be able to stay up and watch the election but around 11 PM I was starting to fade so I went to sleep.
The most amazing sound woke me up a little bit later: the sound of Times Square erupting into the most joyous, gleeful, positively charged cheering and screaming.
As long as I live I will never forget that moment. #electionday2008

"About five years ago, I was sitting at Tonic with my wife and a couple of friends, and I had had a few, not a lot, and I don't know how I got onto the topic, but I remember distinctly going off on a long lamentation about what it was like to be alive in the time of my life. Because it seemed to me that so many frontiers had been reached before I was born. And it seemed like so many frontiers would be denied by an overall mean-mindedness and smallness. And I wondered that night if I would ever live to see anything in this world that truly made me feel like there was a reason for me to be alive. And I lamented the lack of faith I had in those possibilities. All I can say tonight is that I never should have doubted, and I should have kept the faith, and I feel like the luckiest person in the world for having been proven wrong.

Obama: If you screw up everything else, I will always be grateful for that one night where I felt like the world was going to change. Thank you.
