Roll on, Obama
Sen. Obama's stirring speech in Iowa last night signalled the start of this historic general campaign. He generously thanked his Democratic primary opponent and then pivoted to offer an expansive and compelling vision of a new American century.
McCain and the GOP represent the old and dangerous constraints of fear, retreat, and division. Now it is time for Democrats to unite under Obama to defeat the Republicans and prevent a third Bush term. Any conversation that isn't directed toward this overarching goal is irrelevant and wasteful.
