As the presidential campaign draws to a close, let's cast a thoughtful glance back across the past 24 months and assess the paradigm-shattering aspects of the 56th iteration of our nation's signature ordeal.
What was the greatest thing about this campaign?
The breakthroughs. Racism, sexism and ageism were all in the stands as the first black, the first female and the oldest-ever candidate lined up to make history. Turns out there really ain't no mountain high enough. It's win, win, win, even though some losing was involved.
The coverage. For the first time, it was possible to actually hook yourself up to a news drip: cable, Web, text messages, Twitter, blogs -- the campaign was always in our heads. Hell, yes, it's addictive -- a new generation of content fiends is born.
The online-ness. New rule: fundraising and organizing henceforth require O-level web game. When the first paid staffer showed up in Montana, a statewide campaign was already in place. In Obama Nation, states colonized themselves. Power is the people.
