Here's why every time I see Jesse Jackson sobbing, every time I see Rachel Maddow glance up at the camera with her eyes dancing, every time I see footage of Chris Matthews looking around in abject disbelieving joy or Stephen Colbert pausing to wipe his eyes before launching himself back into character, every time I see people dancing in the streets of America and around the world, every time I see Barack Obama walk out to that podium and look out at the country he's now promised to lead to the best of his ability, I weep. My eyes don't well up. I weep.
