(From today's Salon)
"We were so glad that we had (gone to Grant Park at 10 p.m. election night) because it was a moment that we wanted to share. We didn’t want to be by ourselves. It was just too sweet. It felt like a page of history was being turned. And, of course, there are going to be challenges, obstacles, setbacks, disappointments, reversals up ahead. But who doesn't want to savor that? Who doesn't want to wish this young man and his beautiful young family all the best in the world because it’s their moment. We invest a lot of hope in them. Let's not lose hope in ourselves. But let's wish them all the best."
(Bill Ayers, commenting on being at Grant Park on election night with his wife Bernadette Dorhn and 250,000 others.)
