Yes, Obama has won. This is an extraordinary political victory of a remarkable scale and significance.
Yes, I find this victory massively inspirational. Obama is a post-60s, post-Vietnam candidate, but also a third-culture, urban, cosmopolitan candidate. He has also surrounded himself with advisors who are of a realist bent, especially behavioural economists. Obama has dominated not just the black vote, but also the hispanic vote, the youth vote and the vote of newly registered voters – this is the America of the future.
Yes, this victory will go a long way to restoring my faith in the USA. The support that Christians, especially evangelicals, gave to Bush in 2004 was a massive shock for me (and many other non-US Christians). White evangelicals have strongly supported McCain, but that was a less problematic choice. However, it has inspirational to see committed, engaged Christians supporting Obama and trying to understand the way the world has seen the last 8 years of (mis)governance from the White House.
