So tonight I'm hopeful. I'm very very hopeful. Tonight I believe that Barack Obama will be victorious as the Democratic nominee for President of the United States.
I have followed the blow-by-blow for the last six months very closely. I've watched as the delegate totals started to add up, watched the caucuses convene and declare their intent, watched the fundraising totals go up and up, and, most prominently, watched both candidates furiously try to make their case as to why they should lead our country.
