Ok, so the black guy won. And that's huge, but I think that's been covered enough.
The one with integrity won. The one who treated us like adults, with real speeches that talked about real issues, he won. The one who built an online grassroots following won. The levelheaded, cautious one won. Nice guys don't finish last. In fact, Obama's character was part of the reason he did win. It helped that McCain completely melted down and lost his honor.
The better man won. And I'm thrilled.
If this man told me to volunteer, I would. If this man told me I needed to pay higher energy costs, I would. He's a true leader. We're lucky to have him. He is not perfect, I will not always agree with him, and there will be missteps. But I trust him to do his best. And that's worth something.
