What's the mood like in Chicago? MBR texted me today from Ohio to find out how things were going at Obama's home base.
Honestly, it was a lot like when the Bulls were winning championship after championship in the 90s. Everyone was smiling at each other, walking with a light step, and being extra kind
Mayor Daley was positively giddy during a press conference this morning.
It was like a club that we all gained membership to in one fell swoop. Downtown glowed, and the warm weather wrapped it's arms around the City of Big Shoulders. We could feel proud, and hopeful and together.
It was awesome, and nothing could ruin the moment.
Lots of high fives... plenty of positive comments from strangers.
I wouldn't trade November 5, 2008 in Chicago to be anywhere else. Because there is nowhere else I would rather be than where Daley described as, "the city that is the envy of the world."
Home, sweet home.
