History

(Community Matters) Repeating my final prediction: a landslide electoral victory of 400-138. Obama wins the popular vote by 10 points.

I’ve been collecting chum for my youngest god children, niece and nephew. This is a historic time in our nation’s history and the history of our world.

The election when Blacks feel that the real American dream – the one where anything is possible for our children – is available to everyone. When White, Brown, Yellow, Black, LGBT and all Americans realize we’re closer to one nation under God than ever before. When citizens of other countries realize Americans have made a 180 turn against Bush/Cheney, and when they see Americans elect the person judged the most competent to lead, without regard to race or gender.

Admittedly, it’ll take time for McCain/Palin, Ron Paul, Ralph Nader and other supporters to heal. Remarkably, I expect they will be more pleasantly surprised by an Obama presidency than liberal supporters.

Governing from the middle rather than the fringe. The politics of inclusion rather than 50% +1. Can’t wait.
