AND THE NOMINEE IS…
Barack Obama is now the presumptive Democratic nominee for the Presidency of the United States. Say what you will about his policies or disagree with his politics, but America made history tonight. For the first time an African-American has been nominated to head a major political party for the most important job in the world. Something like this happening was unheard of when my father was my age, and never even imagined during my grandfather’s time.
You have to think about this as a country, when it comes to race, this shows we have made a ton of progress. We still have some ways to go in some areas, but at least for now, we all have an opportunity to see history be made. At the very least, you have to feel good about that.
Now the campaign can begin in earnest.
