So, this wasn't an entirely new thing, but it's worth noting. Today I attended (or at least tried to attend) the Barack Obama speech in St. Paul where he officially declared that he is the Democratic candidate! Hooray! I went with my friend Katie, and we were in line in downtown St. Paul with approximately 40,000 other Minnesotans. We didn't actually make it in to the Xcel Center, but instead were able to see the speech on the Jumbo-tron outside with about 15,000 other people. It was amazing, even though we weren't inside! (We saw him earlier this year at the Target Center, so I guess we can't ask too much). History in the making! Can't wait to see what the next few months bring! The battle has just begun, so we can't breathe a sigh of relief quite yet. But it's just so wonderful to see changes happening...to be a part of this momentous election!
