Could It Be?

We're all nervous, aren't we? A naturally inbred superstitiousness makes us afraid to say that it looks like he'll be elected. Imagine in our lifetime with the history of race relations in this country, a black person could become the president elect, and come January be the 44th President of the United States. Besides that a black person with an unlikely Islamic sounding name.

For those of us who believe that the Gore/Bush election was stolen from us by fraud and a questionable Supreme Court decision in 2000, it is awesome to think that so many polls could predict Barack Obama being legally elected by a majority of the American people as well as the Electoral College.

I have high hopes for an Obama administration, perhaps it my lifelong interest in Lincoln and the similarity of their political experience. Personally I believe that if Lincoln were alive today he would be a Democrat, even as I couldn't have been one in 1858 - 65. In that time blacks were at best only 3/5 human in the population census and had no actual status as citizens.

If this event is fulfilled as we all hope, imagine how the rest of the world will view this country.
