Blue Indiana Loves Obama

Then President-Elect Obama wears a purple suit as he holds the blue neighboring states of Indiana and Illinois in his hands. Even though my home state of Indiana's vote count didn't get called until later in the night when Obama already had enough electoral votes, I was so happy that it finally turned blue for the first time since 1964. It was just so nice to see that swath of blue states in the upper midwest and northeast not being tarnished by little old red state Indiana right smack in the middle like it usually is. I think a big factor in the Obama win was the Democratic primary that got so much attention and saw Obama making so many stops in Indiana. The closeness to Illinois did help, especially with the northwestern portion of Indiana, but I really think us Hoosiers appreciated Obama coming to see us so much. As a life-long Hoosier I can tell you that we're not used to feeling that relevant to the national political scene. Obama even visited the state during the general election and has already held a highly publicized town hall in Elkhart, IN, as President. INDIANA LOVES YOU, OBAMA!! KEEP COMING BACK and you'll get our votes again in 2012!

Happy People Love The Obama Electoral Map

Here we see lots of happy Obama supporters standing behind the 2008 General Election final electoral map. The people are happy because they know that they are the ones who got Obama elected. For the first time in my life I can actually say I witnessed a campaign and election that felt like it was truly won by the people. For the first time in my life I can say I actually liked the candidate I voted for, that he was more than a candidate, but was the symbol of a movement. Moreso than hearing Obama speak I was always so moved by the looks on the faces of the people in the crowds, their hope and sense of awe at the fact that they were truly a part of American history.
