Watching CNN International's coverage of the South Carolina primary (my home state) from Brussels, Belgium last Saturday, I was fascinated with the infectious excitement and envying the people that were there to see it and participate. Upon learning of Obama's overwhelming victory, CNN analyst and well-known Republican conservation pundit and politician Bill Bennett commented with a big grin on his face,
"This is really bad for our party, as Obama is a much more formidable candidate than Clinton."
"Well then why are you so happy?" asked the CNN correspondent.
Still smiling broadly, he answered, "Because this is an unprecedented moment in history. Obama has succeeded in doing what no man before him has been able to do. He is uniting our country......across all lines of race, gender, age, economics, and party........"
