Is this a historic day?

If you believe our relationships weren't strained you live in a hole. Do you think "no WMDs" helped our relationships?

Is Jesse Jackson on-side with Obama now? He was going to eat his nuts or something a couple of months ago.

[j2k4]

Of course no black person voted for him strictly on the basis of colour.

Just as no white person voted against him on the same basis.

The race card was always in the deck even if you didn't see it played.

Black Americans are predominantly Democrat. Maybe that was the basis.

When Jesse and Al ran, they didn't get far. Many blacks I know wouldn't vote for them.

Obama transcended race.

He certainly did among black voters, didn't he.

I don't agree, btw.

How would you know if those (whites, say) whom are/were not racist (you know they exist, 'cuz you know me), and who didn't vote for Jesse or Al, but did vote for Obama.

Obama transcended nothing, he merely ran a campaign for which race never became a central issue, given the rich menu of other salient topics.

He ran a smart campaign; one for which I wouldn't have forecast success.

He ran a smart campaign; one for which I wouldn't have forecast success.

Against McCain and Palin, resulting in pretty much a landslide victory.

The result was more a function McCain's poor strategy than Obama's excellence.

Obama's vagueness didn't turn people off.

There was also the generational disconnect that precluded a proper appreciation of Obama's socialist/communist/Marxist statements by our youngsters.

We've got tons of people voting who were born after the Berlin Wall came down.

No idea (and certainly no impulse to develop one) about the Cold War, USSR, etc.

McCain and his surrogates wasted valuable time harping on that.

As to your asking for stock tips, I would never presume; besides which, you've got more money than you have a right to, already.

Send a cheque to HM R&C immediately, you Scot slacker.

In spite of all of that you never foresaw an Obama win.

Spectacliar.

Hoi. I was in Berlin when the wall came down. It was pushed!

So any Democrat could have won?
McCain lost the election, Obama didn't win it.

Lovin the denial, Kev.
Repubs are scrambling to explain that this was McCain/Palin's fault, if only a better candidate was around, he- and it would be a "he" wouldn't it?- could have explained the righteousness of the Republican philosophy.

I would posit that McCain actually did better than anyone had a right to expect and American voters were just sick to death of the crap that recent Republican administrations have been shoving down our throats.

In other words, Obama would have beaten anybody your party put up.

See that's okay, other than "American voters were just sick to death of the crap that recent Republican administrations have been shoving down our throats." which is just hideous.
