Victory
With all there is to absorb about the election, it's probably not too surprising that not a lot of attention is being paid to President Obama's victory address in Chicago last night. But I think it is one of the most important of his presidency and most eloquent of his political career. Not that there was a lot "new" in it--precisely the opposite. He put everything into a continuous context. He further defined the change he believes it, and in many ways the change he and his campaign and his administration are creating.
