Correction: Roughly half of the Democratic Party voters, and novelty known as ‘the super delagate, caused the party to end up with a candidate devoid of accomplishment. History will note that in their eagerness to elevate skin color as a fill-in for such deficiencies a significant portion of the US population were indifferent to that reality.

Bob, on this blog of late I have been most critical of the performance of the press. But I gotta say point this out: Powell and Rice are incredible for their accomplishments, but there is a humongous difference between them and Obama. First, the presidency is the most powerful position on earth. More importantly, the VOTERS chose. That’s the difference.

Sort of like Colin Powell and Condolezza Rice becoming the first male and female black Secretary of State–only without the holy-rolling press as back-up singers.

Millie and Mike: Yeah, it’s truly historic, isn’t it? No matter what happens hereafter, this is a moment most Americans now living will remember, regardless of their political points of view.

Pat-I offer my congratulations on this day allowing the Obama backers to bask in this moment but, as they say, the issue is now joined.

Pat, thank you for posting this link. Partisanship aside, arguments about media coverage aside, this certainly seems a moment to consider — REALLY consider — the historic nature of Sen. Obama’s nomination. When you consider the context, the history, what it MEANS, it’s an incredible moment. I hope I can convey to my children what it truly represents.
