So, Barack Obama took his political life into his own hands and made his now-famous speech on race: "A More Perfect Union."
This was a risky move and one necessitated by Hillary Clinton's abhorrent tactic of finally casting Obama as the black candidate.
The reactions have been almost all positive, but the final result will manifest itself in the upcoming Pennsylvania primary (where, unfortunately, Clinton has a healthy lead).
It's now become increasingly clear that Barack Obama is the shining light; the antidote to the divisive, rancorous, increasingly awful Hillary Clinton and her dirty tactics.
Of course, this will mean that he has no shot, no shot at all of winning.
But, in spite of my best cynicism, I do have a glimmer of hope that the best candidate will prevail, and that we will finally turn the page on a dark past and look forward to a better tomorrow.
