Regardless of how the next 4-8 years turn out, my daughter's going to grow up--from her first memories--thinking that a US presidential candidate who is a white man with a name like "John Smith" would be an anomaly. I can't express how happy that makes me.
I know optimism is usually a sucker's bet given modern history (US or otherwise), but I can't help but feel that we've been dealt a royal flush here. Adults are in charge, and an intelligent man of good faith is in the White House. And that's all we can ask, and all I can ask for my daughter.
Since this is for posterity, I'll limit my gushing since it's sure to embarrass me in retrospect, but I'm hopeful. And that feels like enough for now.
