Why Obama Won
| Wed, 11-05-2008 - 11:02am |
Obama won on his own terms, strategically and symbolically. He rolled up a series of contested states, from Colorado to Virginia, long out of Democratic reach. And his victory reflected the accuracy of his vision of a reshaped country. Racism, much discussed, turned out to be a footnote, and the African-American voter turnout was nothing spectacular.

A new day has come! :)
LOL yes that song came to mind when I wrote that. :)

<< The fear-mongering backfired and actually helped Obama.>>
Exactly. The negativity hurt the Republicans just as it hurt Hillary.
I agree with truetoblue who mentioned Obama's honesty and sincerity. After he spoke last night I told DH, that he is truly different. He doesn't just speak passionately, McCain tried to do that, too. The difference is that Obama really IS passionate about changing our country into one in which we are truly united, a nation that paves the way for a better life for FUTURE generations, not a selfish nation chanting a tax cut mantra for the benefit of today's voters.
I know Obama will turn out to be a great president.
