There are many reasons that Barack Obama will be the 44th president of the United States. I've heard many sore Republicans say it's because of the economy, or because Bush is so unpopular. Some may argue it's because of an unpopular war. Others say it's because of the flawed campaign that McCain has run. These are all legitimate variables that I'm sure have played a part in what I believe will be an overwhelming victory tomorrow. But, something must be said about the campaign that Barack Obama has run.

Watching his campaign I have been amazed. From the massive number of volunteers and field offices, to the size of the crowds and their enthusiasm, to the number of donors and the amount they've raised...their use of the internet and cell phones...it's been absolutely amazing...he has set a new standard for presidential campaigns, and they will never be run the same.

Four years ago we were introduced to an unfamiliar man who gave a moving speech about the division of our country and what "hope" and hard work could bring. Little did we all know he was laying the ground work for a movement that would transcend race and negative politics, and redraw the lines on the electoral map...all the way to a 378 to 160 electoral vote win!
