Wait, So...He Wins?

Really?

Nuh. Uh.

If you had told me in January that this would be, I would have said, This is all I could ever have hoped for and the sun will always shine now and nation shall not lift up sword against nation and gays will marry and good sense will prevail and nothing will ever be the same. What bad could co-exist with this?

Even if it goes only this far and no further, dayenu. One of the most extraordinary events of my lifetime.

Time does fade the drama and we have all known for a while now. Had it happened quickly, my whole system might have crashed. But I don't want to get too accustomed.

I want some of the drunken giddiness of the early days, when my realization that he really was awesome collided with his starting to win. I don't want to be nonchalant. I want to stay chalant.
