Sí, se puede.

The very long election season will (hopefully) be over tomorrow. All indications are that Barack Obama is headed for a historic win, both in terms of taking a significant step forward in healing the wound that is (one of) America's original sin, and in terms of realigning the American electorate. I have thought from the beginning that Obama had the opportunity to make 2008 a watershed election, in a way that no other Democratic could hope to. There is a Reaganesque quality to the man, the politician and the campaign that he has run and the results may well be a party realignment that will shape the political landscape for a generation. That has been my hope since last winter when I first contributed to his campaign and stuck a (long-since destroyed) yard sign in my front yard. It has been a dark eight years, these past. Hopefully tomorrow will mark a turning point, once again bringing morning to America. We could all use a little hope and optimism about now, but one that is grounded in a respect for ideas and real-world solutions for the rest of us who have been trickled down on for too long now.

In the words of César Chávez, one of the great "community organizers" of all time, Sí, se puede.
