The Election of Barack Obama... |
|
From wsws.org...
Obama's national margin in the popular vote will approach ten million. He has won by the largest margin for a non-incumbent candidate for president since Eisenhower in 1952.
First and foremost, the election outcome is a massive repudiation of the Bush presidency, the Republican Party and nearly three decades of right-wing domination of American politics. It is a watershed election, one which reflects, in the electoral framework, the massive demographic, socio-economic and cultural shifts over the past quarter-century.
All of the right-wing nostrums reiterated by the media and political establishment of both parties in recent years—that America is a "right" or "center-right" nation with a majority of "red states" unshakably loyal to the Republicans, that religion and cultural "values" are the decisive political issues—have been shattered.

2. I hope he runs his presidency the way he ran his campaign |

...and moreso that Pelosi does something other than capitulate to the minority for two more years. Because the RW loonies are already calling for Obama's impeachment, and you can bet the GOP will take up that call and push it if they gain seats in 2010.
