Awwww, a tear in his eye! So sweet.
It's true that his campaign and presidency has jolted political energy into sections of the electorate that just didn't have it before -- c.f. so many people so surprised that the high minority and youth turnout of 2008 was not a statistical outlier, but a lasting change in the (presidential) electorate. He's good, but I think that demographic shift, that enthusiasm and involvement among young and non-white voters, is real hope and change.

(not trying to disparage candy corn -- I love it, I'm eating it right now -- but really, guys)

That's why I had to vote early, you know. If I'd waited til election day I'd be on the other end of my cycle, and my hormones might have turned Republican...
