Sen. Obama's win: Will Super Tuesday bring hope to America or more of the same politic.

I was excited by Obama's acceptance speech tonight. It spoke to my inner core of an America of the future we can be proud once again about. Also, Caroline Kennedy in tomorrow's Op-Ed piece for the NY Times is quoted as saying, "I can finally vote for President for someone like my Dad." JFK was inspirational as a leader, as is Barack Obama. The big question of the evening is this: Will the country have the courage to vote for their interests or against their interests? In past electiosn we have voted against our own interests.

It is understandable that the Clinton's want to minimize this loss in South Carolina. I would if I were them too. But one fact seems astounding. If anyone would have said that the Clintons were going to get the Black vote in South Carolina a few years ago, no one would have been surprised. Tonight, not only did Barack Obama win the Black vote by a spectacular victory but he also won the white voters and also won the youth vote. Today will go down in history as a memorable point in time when America was choosing hope and aspiration, over fear politics and the rhetoric of inside the Beltway.

I can see a match-up between McCain and Obama that goes something like this:

Do you want to vote the past or the future? Do you want to vote for someone who supports our troops being in Iraq for 100 years, or would you want to vote for someone who will bring the troops home with honor? Do you want to vote for someone who has always supported the policy of George Bush and caved in on his principles and decided to support Bush's position on the use of torture when Bush asked for his support, or would you want to vote for someone who opposed the use of torture and voted that way consistently?

The choice is clear.
