Why Obama Won
120
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.

If this nation has a hard time coming together, you can bet the fact that a large number of people who think we've elected a radical black Muslim will have a lot to do with it.


I agree with that.

Doesn't look like the stock market thinks the same, biggest one day drop after an election. Careful what you wish for.

The stock market has been anticipating an Obama win for awhile.
