Ohio's got the Blues

I am so proud to have voted in Ohio this year. This is my first year voting in a swing state, and it was well worth it.

I don't think there are words to describe how incredible it is to be witnessing history in the making. Older generations always claimed my generation didn't have a "moment" until 9/11. I'm so glad to have this election happen in my lifetime as a historical event that is actually positive and filled with hope.

And because once the returns started pouring in and Obama clearly won in an electoral vote landslide, there wasn't nearly as much tension as the past two presidential elections (I, like many people, went to bed in 2000 thinking one thing, and woke up to find out differently; in 2004, I lived in Boston and the mood was very somber). So, good thing CNN stepped it up with their amazing hologram technology. Here's a clip of Anderson Cooper's "face to face" interview with Will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas:



Yes. Yes that banner actually says "WILL.I.AM VIA HOLOGRAM." Amazing. The only thing they're really missing is some kick-ass Star Wars-esque sound effects.
