Obama

I just left St. Paul late last week; I'm in Wisconsin for a few days before moving back East.

Meanwhile, Sen. Obama's in St. Paul, claiming the nomination. We're all pretty tired of this primary, so it's hard to remember just how exciting this is: For the first time, a black candidate has won a major party nomination. Nominating a woman would have been equally exciting, but that doesn't actually take anything away from this historic moment.

I wish I were still up in St. Paul.
