After all the ups and downs and nail-biting primary nights and crazy-making debates and smear campaigns and oppression olympics, I know I can't be the only one who needs a little mental break until results start rolling in tonight.
So take a breather. Here are some pictures I've seen this week that really made me feel inspired about this election:

Say what you will about the actual events and outcomes, but I have to say that, as a feminist, this was a pretty damn fascinating election to observe and participate in. But I am admittedly relieved it's almost over.
Oh, and if you haven't already, GO VOTE.

wow, great photos. i love the woman's expression in the third photo. it says so much.
The women's expressions are so powerful. Especially in their eyes. Great photos!
Those are wonderful pictures - way to make tear up before I have even finished my coffee!
But you are right, we need to take a breather. It is going to be a long and goddess-willing wonderful night.
These are great pictures!
I teared up this morning while watching a broadcast of the Obamas casting their votes. I'm headed for the polls in a few minutes to do the same!
HAAAAH! Look at the second picture -- the father looks terrified that the little girl is about to poke his eye out.
Beautiful pictures.
