none of my post is snark.  Tears spring to my eyes at the prospect of Obama being our president.  

Would I like to see some things different about his campaign?  Sure.  (And some of it has changed as he adopted some of Edwards' tone - he admitted himself in Boston that his own campaign had been infected at times with caution and triangulation, and I have seen that change over the last few weeks.)

But aside from being an excellent candidate he carries a message of empowerment not only to those of us on the left who've felt disenfranchised, but to people across the nation who haven't felt represented for a long time, and to people around the world - electing either of our two choices but especially Obama sends a message to the rest of the planet that people like George Bush are not the face of America.  Not by a longshot.

Anyway, so there it is.  Didn't want anyone to think I was being snarky.
