I'm African-American and this is the first time I've ever voted for a non-white person [View All]

Simply amazing. I live in a small rural town, around 26,000. It's really overwhelming to me the idea that this will be the first time I cast a ballot for a black person and I'm black myself. I don't know if many other blacks on here share the same experience. In Kentucky, there has never been a black person to even so much as run statewide for anything. It's just going to be a special day for me and for our country. I'm so proud of Barack Obama. I know my vote won't matter much in Kentucky. Obama won't get our EV's, but that doesn't dampen my spirit. I'm just so happy to be alive and experiencing this historic moment for our country and the world! :patriot:
