This is short and to the point. I hope you take the time to follow through on the links. Barack Obama’s campaign, powered by organization and eloquence, created an entity that has never existed before and will be the yardstick for many in the future. h/t to Political Wire.

If you missed it, be sure to check out Frank Rich’s Sunday column at the NYT. It’s an excellent summation of the election that was. Here are a few key passages:
Our nation was still in the same ditch it had been the day before, but the atmosphere was giddy. We felt good not only because [...]

We did it!!!! Obama routed John McCain in a full on electoral college sweep. 333 Electoral Votes and 51% of the popular vote. Add to that sweet victory: Democrats unseat GOP House incumbents.

Like the song says, ’signed,sealed, delivered I’m yours.’ That’s President-Elect Obama’s message to us tonight. Can you [...]

It’s election night and after a long break from blogging I decided it was good night to sit down and do some live-blogging. The polls just closed here and CNN is projecting that Obama has taken Maine. I’m happy to say I was able to be a part of the victory for Obama here in [...]

I’ve been lax in blogging since my cross country move to Maine. Settling in here and unpacking has taken up most of my time, but I did not want to let election day pass without chiming in.

Rolling Stone has published a cover story on John McCain that has the most damning, well documented biography of his life I’ve seen. I thought I knew the deceptions of John McCain. I didn’t know one-tenth of the real story. I won’t try to summarize this lengthy article. There is simply too much data, too [...]

This is a great video. An elementary school in Palm Beach, Florida has their own TV news channel, The KEC News Report. They recruit their own grade school reporters, camera people, etc. They really do report the news. The news this day was the speech by Joe Biden at a campaign event.
Notice the competence of [...]

It is not, one supposes, egotistical to note that the story I told you here last Monday (”Holy You Betcha, Batman! It’s the Barracuda!” 20 Oct 2008.) is now confirmed on Saturday, after having become the subject of speculation throughout the bloviating class. To wit:

In a speech given on Oct. 21, 2008 Joe Biden says, Barack Obama, “Every Vote Counts”.
This is no time to get complacent because you live in a solid Blue state. Vote, then get busy on election day.
“Every Vote Counts”

Via Lawrence O’Donnell on the HuffPo:
When Colin Powell turns off his TV after the final presidential debate, he will have learned everything he is going to learn about the candidates vying to succeed his former boss, George W. Bush. Powell has made it clear that he has been thinking about an endorsement for a long [...]

I’ve spent the entire weekend packing for my move back east next week. I leave Los Angeles on the 19th and there is so much to do. I’ve barely had a chance to read the news, but this caught my eye during my late night browse:
