Wow. I thought Obama's speech was amazing. I really wrestled with who to vote for during the primary. I voted for Obama, but I had deep reservations. I was a huge fan of Clinton, and thought I would vote for her until the debacle in South Carolina. I didn't want divisive politics, so I voted for Obama in the hope that he really would bring a new voice to Washington.

When he says something like this, it makes me so proud to have voted for him:

"The fact is that the comments that have been made and the issues that have surfaced over the last few weeks reflect the complexities of race in this country that we've never really worked through – a part of our union that we have yet to perfect."
