Tuesday in Grant Park

Chicago lit up on Tuesday with a level of energy and optimism that was impossible to resist. I attended the Obama victory rally in Grant Park, and while the event itself was great, I was most moved simply by the relief, hope, and positivity of the crowd. People were everywhere. All happy, all chanting, all celebrating. It certainly felt like a transformative event, for Chicago, for America and, hopefully, the world as a whole. It was certainly reaffirming to see a campaign win primarily with a message of hope, which is such a contrast to the recent Karl Rove-run campaigns that had a foundation largely built on fear. Hopefully, I will have better seats when he hosts another victory party in 4 years!
