Win or Lose, U.S. Is Changed

The Washington Post

Win or lose, Barack Obama has changed America. It's one thing to believe in a picture we'd like to be true -- a society moving toward a colorblind ideal -- and something entirely different to live each day with a personification of that ideal.

"I've actually changed my view of Americans," said Marvin Lawson, a retired black man from Columbia who came with his wife, Victoria, to see Obama speak at the University of Maryland this week. "I've been pleasantly surprised. This country still has a racial divide; we cannot ignore that. But this campaign will take us to the next level, that we really are ready to accept those values we espouse as a nation."

Obama won a majority of the white male vote in Virginia's Democratic primary Tuesday. He won a majority of the seniors there, too, according to exit polls.
