It was a great night for Barack Obama. Check out this fantastic post, from another one of my favorite writers (and his name is also Jonathan) Jon Cohn. It is very exciting to see Obama turn the heat on St. McCain. I do believe, contrary to Hillary Clinton's rhetoric, that Obama can face off against holy John and win. Obama is dead right on the war, St. McCain is dead wrong. Obama has in-depth knowledge of economic issues, by his own admission, crazy old man McCain has none. It's also exciting to see that Obama is talking about working Americans, as a supporter of the labor movement, I find that very encouraging.
I didn't see the victory speeches until this morning but I was struck by the difference between them. Obama had lots of energy and was surrounded by all types of people (whites, Latinos, African-Americans, old, young) whereas St. John McCain of Arizona was surrounded by old white people while he railed on about "liberal elites that hate America." On a side note, John McCain, is really, really, old looking!
