People get ready, there's a change a 'coming....

As I walked into the polls at 7:45 a.m., the tears started. What a momentous occasion, what a historic day. I wish my mother had lived to see it. I thought about growing up in the deep, segregate south. This isn't just an historic day for African Americans, but for all Americans.

Now the McCain supporters need to show the grace and class that he has shown. I have admired McCain, he is a man of conviction. I believe he was sincere when he said that we must find a way to bridge the divide, that despite all the differences, we are all Americans.

People get ready, there's a train comin'
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'
You don't need no ticket you just thank the lord
--Curtis Mayfield, People get ready
