That's exactly it!
June 4, 2008 | Milwaukee, Wisconsin | Vetting explained
CNN's front page asks us to "weigh in on history in the making."
That choice of words couldn't be more appropriate. That's exactly what has happened here. It appears that the democratic party has chosen their candidate - an African-American man. It's a very attractive idea; something many of us thought was a long time away.
Which is precisely what led so many people to vote for Obama - the thought of making history. Everybody wants to pat themselves on the back for being politically correct and voting for the African American man. Nevermind that he's the wrong candidate, and his presidency could doom our country - that's not important. What's important is that we're making history!
Congratulations everybody!! Give yourselves a nice pat on the back.
