They’re calling the Presidental race for Barack Obama now that the West coast polling has ended. As a country, we haven’t figured everything out, but this year (except for the robocalling and the mudslinging) did us proud. Clinton’s 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling–a great start–and now a biracial man in the Oval Office. Good for us.
The job ahead? Learning to get along and work together. The country belongs to all of us, red and blue states, and it’s high time we learned to mix purple. I for one am looking forward to the challenge. Way to go, democracy.
It’s a pretty daunting task to fix all that’s broken, but if renewed hope helps, we’re halfway there.
