WOW!

                                                                                The election was just incredible.                                                                               

It is without a doubt one of the greatest days in American History.                                                                               

Obama's story will live as one of the most important and significant stories ever in American Politics - and perhaps the most important. His was a meteoric rise by any standard - not 8 years ago he was regrouping from a failed run for the Statehouse in IL and not 5 years ago he was introducing himself at a Democratic meeting in Evanston, IL. And today he stands as the President Elect.

                                                                                Barack Obama's story I believe will, in time, eclipse the Kennedy's in terms of the inspirational political legacy. This because of his reach across cultural and racial lines and the new possibilities seeded to the hearts and minds of those young people who helped elect him.                                                                               

And in much the same way as the John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy who inspired generations into public office so will Barack Obama, but Obama's influence will be so exceedingly important.                                                                               

Obama's influence may well be more profound in that the inclusiveness of his campaign and the use of the internet whose inherent reach makes Obama's influence that much more expansive. He has galvanized the country in an upswell of hope and promise and he has done this in a way that no other candidate could even hope to touch.

                                                                                American Politics has no doubt been changed forever and for the better!                                                                               

There was something transcendant about Barack's presence onstage last night, his words, his demeanor, his focus...we have much to look forward to...this is gonna be good!
