The future is unknowable and anything can happen between now and November. But after watching both Obama’s and McCain’s respective speeches from last night, I’m thinking the only thing that can keep Obama out of the White House is a zombie uprising or an asteroid smashing into the planet. Obama comes off like a rock star. McCain comes off like the keynote speaker at a Kiwanis banquet.
It’s difficult to overstate the significance of Obama’s primary victory. He managed to bring down one of the biggest names in modern American politics and he proved that this country is still capable of rising above its own bloody history. Even those of us who knew he was something special back in 2004 are stunned that this moment has actually come to pass.
