And the winner….

by Aaron Buckley

We just elected a black man as president of this United States tonight,
which is not only historic but refreshing and heartfelt when viewed
from where this country was only 40 years ago. We would all agree that
America is not perfect – no country is – but with New Hampshire being
as independent as it is (their next in line to vote – in 5 days), then
South Carolina (heavy black populous), then Nevada (undecided labor
groups leaning toward Obama), I don’t see how “President Obama” can be
avoided. And, if Edwards loses in his home state of South Carolina
(looking in the early polls like he will), and he drops out, his
support will then be pushed toward Obama. Edwards supporters not
liking the moderate, standard issue, big corporation backing, Clinton.

That said, there are good things to say about all of them, but some
have more bad things than the others … in my opinion. Point is, the
Democratic voters in Iowa tonight more than doubled the Republican
outing in a state which voted for Bush in 2004. If that is any
indication of how the nation feels (and we will find out soon, with
other states voting), then the Democratic nominee seems likely to take
the White House in 2008, this time, with more historic significance
than this country has ever witnessed.

Stay tuned. Vote.
