Barack Obama Is Elected President Of The United States Of America By At Least 364 Electoral College Votes!

So, we were wrong in our previous assertions to the effect that Obama CANNOT win against McCain and the GOP Character Assassination Machine. However, it still remains to be shown, one way or the other, whether we were wrong in our reasoning that Obama, by leapfrogging his way into line, ahead of several other clearly more qualified Democratic Presidential contenders, was acting eight years too soon. THAT remains to be seen!

The spirit infusing much of the national (and indeed, the global) celebratory atmosphere accompanying Obama's Presidential campaign victory is highly reminiscent of the spirit which infused the "American Camelot" era of President John F. Kennedy. As we all know, JFK did not survive his first term in office! Robert Kennedy, whose run for the Presidency was similarly inspirational, also did not survive even the campaign itself. And Martin Luther King-- who has recently been absurdly (falsely) claimed, by certain Conservative elements, to have been a Republican-- whose great speeches still inspire many Liberals today, also did not survive! We all pray that such a fate does not await President-elect Obama. Yet, one can do little but wait with bated breath (in dread, not eagerness) for the final denouement in this story that began with a relatively young man's seemingly premature rush to power and authority!
