...of what a momentous event is happening right in front of you. Years from now, you will look back on this night, this time in history as a turning point from which there was NO turning back. With any luck, the snowball that MLK started rolling 45 years ago when he told us of his dream will gather speed now. Tonight may feel like an ending, and it is, but only of act one.

Cherish this moment. They are precious and few. This is a GOOD version of a "Where were you the day..." question.


I knew exactly what Michelle Obama meant with her "pride" statement. This is amazing, the feeling I get when I think back to my earliest memories of Civil Rights marches and where that road has led.

so true (none / 1)
I will be 47 this month and it will be the very first general election where I didn't have to vote for the "lesser of two evils."  In other words, I will be voting enthusiastically for Obama, even if I don't wholeheartedly agree with his stance on all the issues.  The relief at knowing Bush will finally be out of the White House soon is huge, and the excitement at the prospect of having a more sincere president who might not embarrass us on the world stage is wonderful to feel!!

I could not agree more, and for the first time in my life, I will be proud of the President of The United States.

Take a look at this link.

What kind of crack are you guys smokin?

Survey USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the DNC, and you guys are analyzing their poll numbers, as if they are credible.

The site that shows Obama winning the general, OH, PA, IA, WI, MN, NM, CO, OR and WA?

That is your source?

Yeah, I am not that worried.

Wow - Ken's not even keeping to his standard or linking articles from freeper or HF. Or in some cases articles from other news sources that have little to do with what he's talking about.

This time's he gone and told a bald-faced lie

SurveyUSA is owned by Hypotenuse, Inc., a privately-held company in New Jersey.

As for Scott "Push Poller" Rasmussen. 

He's slightly less-than-credible.

 

You know someone who donates to Jessie Helms must be fair and honest.

for president yet. Imagine Obama and Bush 3 on the same stage debating.  You will become way more hopeful for Obama.

Did you see McLames speech last night? Contrast it with Obamas
