Looks Like

It's early: 11:40 Eastern Time. They are calling it Obama. McCain just acceded the race to Obama.

Call me skeptical. I want Obama to win. I really do. I was not alive when Truman won, but I did see the photo in the history book of Truman holding the newspaper that proclaimed, Dewey Wins! As the child of a newsman, it made an impact. So I'm not taking anything for granted.

IF this is true. If it can be. IF some crazy person doesn't do something really, really stupid, I will be so happy.

btw, did you see the film of Jesse Jackson crying? Tears streaming down his face. Not a trickle. A stream.

I'm not black. I cannot say I truly understand how he -- and many black Americans -- feel.

I can only say I have hope for America for the first time in a long, long, time.

We are flying our flag tomorrow for the first time in eight long years.
