CARRIED AWAY

Wow, what a stunner Tuesday was, huh?  As I watched CNN electoral vote by electoral vote, I couldn’t believe what I was witnessing.  By the time Obama was giving is acceptance speech, I was wondering, who has the movie rights?  I can imagine the NBC mini-series.  It’s the perfect underdog story ¹; the good intentioned minority politician stands up against corrupt white America and wins.  Though it didn’t come easy.  He had to duke it out the entire way, starting with his own party, proving himself that he was the perfect man for the job despite reservations.  Then he had a second uphill battle as he proved to America that he wasn’t just an ordinary guy, he was extraordinary.  But he didn’t have it in the bag, he just couldn’t squeak by a margin.  And then… he did.  Over night people decided, okay, we want him.  

And we got him.  Cue stunningly artistic shot of Obama-look-alike on the podium.

I can’t wait to see the sequel.
