Man, how awesome to be there and see that. A victory that really feels worldwide. Did you hear it’s a national holiday tomorrow in Kenya?

It’s been crazy here in Chicago. You can’t buy a paper to save your life. There are actual CROWDS in front of the Chicago Tribune building, hoping to find a copy there. The feeling of being at the very center of history is palpable everywhere.

Hey Dan!

Totally. The sense of relief here is profound, even though there is no similar domestic political breakthrough expected. Because the newsstands here carry so many different national newspapers, its pretty much the same drill. Everyone is thrilled about the end of the Bush era.

What an amazing anecdote about Chicago. I will remember that for a very long time. Like I’ve said to many of our journalistic colleagues here in the UK, its not that print is dead in the US. Its that publishers can’t seem to figure out how to determine what the demand is.

I’d wager you were looking at it right there.

Keep working ,great job!
