I believe that a good man clinched the Democratic nomination for President tonight. Long-time readers of this blog know that we predicted this a long time ago, before the polls had swung in his favor.
Who knows what will happen next. The contrast between the parties' presumptive nominees could not be greater. A warrior vs. a man against the war. An old man against a young man. A white man against a black man.
In my view, this is the right historical moment for this confrontation to occur. Every American who votes in November can look into his/her own heart and decide where they stand.
One can be forgiven if his/her choice is for the older man, a legitimate military hero, a true maverick, and one who reaches across party divides to appeal to Independents.
I myself have voted for McCain in the past. I like the man, and I respect him enormously.
Others will sense the true meaning of this opportunity. The America McCain represents is in the rear-view mirror now. We do not need warriors any longer. We need, IMHO, a person who can reignite the inherent respect for the American Dream, absent our guns and our big-footing.
I trust that enough of my fellow citizens will vote as I will, for a new leader, in a new era, and therefore ever so pragmatically affirm the true meaning of patriotism.

p.s. Shame on the Clintons!
