The First Black President

Right now, things are looking good for an Obama/Biden victory on Tuesday. The latest NYT/CBS poll puts the race nationally at about 50/40, with voter positions hardening. In addition, and very significantly, about 6 in 10 voters feel that Sarah Palin is unqualified to be Vice President, which would seem to be a serious obstacle to enough people supporting the McCain/Palin ticket to give them the win. As one political pundit wrote, "This cake looks baked."

So it looks like we're getting set for some history to be made: the first African-American president. What a way to begin the new century. It gives one hope that perhaps anything is indeed possible in America.
