What a long way it has been. What a long ways yet to go. It has been miraculous and so heartening to see Barack Obama become the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party.
Last night's speech in Minneapolis hit all the right notes. And, to see the Obama speech in juxtaposition to the McCain speech from New Orleans was striking. This upcoming race for the Presidency will be a daily delight. Hillary will parse for a few days, hoping to leverage her losing position however she can. Bill has been sent back to the dog house, hopefully never to return.
So, I am very excited and thrilled about the outcome. But, I must say it is bitter sweet. That is, for me, a function of the stark fact that today, June 4, 2008, is the 40th anniversary of the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. More about that in my next post.
