A new world
I somehow managed to miss the Economist's global electoral college. The map says it all. [Via Bernard Avishai]
"It's a new world now..." Although the Crunchy Con isn't an Obama supporter, he captures the sense of a sea-change in American life:
Last night, I read a story in our local city magazine, D, about the Jewish experience in Dallas. There was a long passage in which the author discussed how powerful the KKK was in Dallas County back in the 1920s. It was thoroughly mainstream... Tonight, a black man running for president of the United States won Dallas County. I am a Dallas County Republican, and I didn't vote for Obama. But that's pretty damn great.
