I can hardly concentrate on anything. I have the TV set to MSNBC, and they are doing the great job I expected. Except for that one little announcement about time to sign up for MSNBC events to watch with others on the 20th. No, over, full. Save time, don’t click. That’s OK, I’m not going anywhere. Live coverage for me. Inside with a crowd of 2.
I may not be there at this moment in time, but I’ve been there: the 30th Street Station in Philadelphia. Too many times to count. Yes, have stopped in Wilmington; find the train station in need of a little facelift, but who’s looking at that today. An hour stopover–great, and with a special passenger: the conductor of vice-president elect Joe Biden’s trips on the Acela. That’s sweet.
Then on to Baltimore where people have been gathering for hours, and finally on to Union Station–my station, my base. I’m with him every step of the way, even though I am inside, just watching and smiling.
Love the morning Newsweek polls. People do have confidence that President-elect Obama can do it. How about those daughters; they told him what he needed to do. It will be great to have young opinionmakers in residence. We need their input and the charming way that daughters can speak to dads. The country needs the vibrancy, the liveliness of a leader who mirrors what we all want for this great country.
What an exciting day. Gotta go. Mighta missed a comment, a chapter of history. Stay tuned.
