National Review on Obama victory

A good comment on Obama winning the caucus vote in a state which is 90% white:

Obama’s immense victory. Yes, it’s early, yes, a lot could happen. But a man who could not have used certain restrooms forty years ago is in the center ring, not as a freak in the manner of Alberto Fujimori or Sonia Gandhi, nor even as a faction fighter in the style of Jesse Jackson, but as a real player. One of our great national sins is being obliterated, as the years pass, by the virtues of our national system. I don’t agree with Obama and I don’t particularly like him, but I am proud of this moment.

It is somewhat staggering that indeed just 40 years ago there was segregation in the US, and now Obama is a very serious candidate for the presidency.
