Obama

Well, this long, arduous, tortuous primary season is finally over, and the Democratic nominee is Sen. Obama. Unlike many others, I honestly believe that the Democrats will have no difficulty uniting around Obama and whomever he chooses as his running mate--the prospect of a third Bush term in the person of the ancient, sclerotic, hypocritical John McCain is literally unthinkable to long-suffering Americans who worry about losing (or have already lost) their homes, whether they'll have a job tomorrow, and whether climate change is making our world unlivable.
