Last night, the voters here in Minnesota, my home, said no to voter ID, said no to a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. Last night, my president stood at a podium in Chicago and said, “I believe we can seize this future together because we are not as divided as our politics suggests. We’re not as cynical as the pundits believe. We are greater than the sum of our individual ambitions, and we remain more than a collection of red states and blue states. We are and forever will be the United States of America.” I am tired and, frankly, overwhelmed, but I am waking up hopeful, and no matter who you supported I hope you are, too. Good morning, America. Let’s get to work.
