For the first time in over a decade of being a voter, my guy wins the Iowa caucus. Hurray for Obama.

I was prepared to post something snide about Hillary, but her speech tonight was positive and inclusive. Unlike Edwards, she actually congratulated the other two. After her husband and surrogates went on the attack against Obama over the past few weeks, it was nice to see the Clintons humbled.

The race isn’t over, but history has been made. Barack Obama, the son of a Kenyan father and an American mother may well become President of the United States. The message this sends to the world is clear — America, for all the damage Bush did to us, is not the country the world says we are.

If Abraham Lincoln could win the Presidency and be mythologized in our culture after having served one term in Congress, then Barack Obama can do the same after only serving one term in the Senate.

Go Obama!
