Obama (coda)

As usual, Frank Rich eloquently puts into words exactly what I've been feeling about Obama and the hole he's tring to fill in American politics:

[The Obama campaign] preaches a bit of heaven on earth in the form of a unified, live-and-let-live democracy that is greater than the sum of its countless disparate denominationns ...[S]ome Americans may simply see a vote for Mr. Obama as a vote for faith in America itself.
