I would not have expected proportionately more Louisianans to vote for her than people in any other state, for example, and though California doesn’t surprise me I would not have thought Maine, Arkansas and West Virginia would come out ahead of New York and Massachusetts.

WE HAVE HOPE, BUT REAL CHANGE IN AMERICA REPRESENTS AN IMMENSE TASK
John Chuckman
Already in the press there have been stories of plans to dampen the public’s expectations of Obama. The expectations are undoubtedly beyond being satisfied by any human being.
Obama’s bright face, a keen intelligence at work in every expression, represents the greatest hope for change in America since Franklin Roosevelt. Even Kennedy, with all his gifts, did not come close. After all, (…)
