So yes, I’m a little presumptuous, but if James Carville can sleep easily tonight, assured of a decisive Obama-Biden victory, well then so can I.

I’ve also been thinking about his grandmother, Madelyn Payne Dunham, a remarkable and trailblazing woman making major career moves when being a woman and a bank VP was largely unheard of. She transitioned this life earlier today, but I can’t help but to think how mysterious yet perfectly orchestrated life in fact is. Everything has a time and a moment: birth, death, defeat and victory. Even true love, where all the stars are lined up in the sky to deliver one perfect mate designed for you. 

Obama’s raised the bar for other black men, fathers and husbands. And Michelle has certianly become the prototype of a dedicated wife and mother. I get really “unnerved” though by people trying to find some crazy bone in his closet in the form of newport cigarettes, other women, hidden assets, etc. I’m sure he has his missteps, but to suggest he can’t be black and morally correct and deeply in love with his wife, indicates a much deeper problem with those raising the suspicions. Maybe a bit of cynicism topped off with some haterade and a total lack of belief in what’s really possible not just for Obama, but for themselves as well. Doing the right thing (and even self-correcting) has never been hard in my estimation. And it has the best karmic payoff.

 So Comeback Girl has a really busy day tomorrow. I found a cool little swank family friendly hotel outside of DC to stay and watch the election results with my peeps. I also feel like I’m a kid again and tomorrow is the first day of school as I supervised my mother to make sure my skirt pleats were perfect, my penny loafers were dope girl fresh with a shiny penny, and my cardigan was reppin the fly Daughter’s Of St. Anthony. look for something cute to wear with my “I voted sticker”. I feel like its Christmas eve.

I may vlog from the watch spot at the hotel and interview people too.
