Barack Obama. His victory to become the only African-American in the U.S. Senate was one of the few bright spots of the election. An early opponent of the Iraq war, Obama trounced his primary and general election opponents, even in white rural districts, showing he could teach other progressives a few things about broadening their base. As David Moberg of In These Times puts it, 'Obama demonstrates how a progressive politician can redefine mainstream political symbols to expand support for liberal policies and politicians rather than engage in creeping capitulation to the right.'
I found his whole family very inspiring.
We need to keep an eye on this man.
He's really cool.

I agree, I am from Illinois and I am so glad that he was elected. He could be the future of the democratic party. A bright spot, indeed, in a dismal week.

> ...Obama trounced his primary and general election opponents...>
>Obama is very exciting. However, we can't know how he would have faired against his initial opponent, conservative Jack Ryan, because Ryan resigned in disgrace over sex scandal revelations.
I think he will be a political force in the future if he proves that he can work with both the good guys and the bad guys in congress.
