What a great day in America, when a candidate can win without appealing to America's dark underbelly, where fear and hate reside.Obama didn't resort to wedge issues to divide Iowans; he didn't rely on demons like gays, or Mexicans, or the greedy corporation, because he doesn't abide by the politics of fear; and most refreshingly, he didn't resort to the politics of race.
What a great day indeed! Obama has shown us a refreshingly new course. I may not align with him politically, but I sure do love his style, his optimism, and his ability to inspire. And I applaud Iowans for giving him their vote. For the first time in a very long time, I'm not embarrassed to be an American.
I hope Obama's win last night marks the beginning of the end of "dark underbelly politics" viv-a-vis Lee Atwater and Karl Rove. I also hope Obama's win marks then end of the Clinton-Bush dynastic presidency.
"Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies."
It is a great day in America.

i honestly think Hillary and Edwards call for 'experience' was their un doing. People are sick of the same ole same ole. I went through the frontrunners 3 websites yesterday afternoon and altho I dont agree with everything he is, in my opinion, the best of three evils (and he has the guts to have an Obama Pride rainbow graphic on his website)
