Today a group of my colleagues (all democrats - no surprise) gathered at the Chancery Hotel in Bangalore to cheer Obama on and watch the election returns. It is the first time, and probably the last time that I will:
a) watch election returns at 9:30 am!!!
b) watch election returns poolside
c) watch election returns on another continent, although I guess you never know!!
The shirts say, "Vote from abroad.org" on the back and "Democrats Abroad India"- (and of course "Obamea '08"). Needless to say, we are thrilled with the outcome!

Were you able to listen to his speech? We thought it was great, and also noted the difference in the invitation only gathering compared to the outdoor celebration that was open to all! Right there is an indicator of a different philosophy, IMHO.
LOVE IT!! OK - that looks like a pretty posh place to me! You look happy and like you're having fun!! YES WE CAN!!!!
