Do you not think that if Mrs. Clinton won, she would not be crowning herself empress right now?

There is nothing naive about Obama. His comment about the kindergarten teacher was a wonderful backhanded slap at the campaign that tried to use a school-age essay to point to Obama's ambition.

His victory speech last night was great, because he did not speak just about himself and his victory; he shared his victory with all Iowans, including those who may have been Republican who became independent to vote for him. And he acknowledged that it would be a tough road ahead.

And if he lost, my guess is that he would not blame it on the electorate.

The fact that Clinton is trying to pick up the change mantle is more a testament to Obama than anything else.

I hope for the sake of our country that the Democratic and Republican nominees are Obama and McCain, respectively. At least if one of them loses, we know that we will be in good shape with the other.
