If you believe what you read or hear on TV, either Hillary Clinton won yesterday's events, or Barack Obama came out victorious, or neither, or both, or change. All we know is that the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination continues on, and that the coming schedule should favor Obama: Washington State's caucus, Nebraska, Maine, and the Chesapeake states (Maryland, Virginia, and D.C.). Oregon? We might matter, way down the line on May 20.

What did you do for yesterday's events? I was out volunteering early, and then I went home to settle in with the results. The highlight of my electoral evening was when many major media outlets had to get egg all over their faces: after projecting Missouri for Clinton, they had to quickly backtrack when Obama won the state. Whoops!

In the end, Clinton won more traditional Democratic strongholds (NY, CA, NJ), but Obama won more states and several he was not expected to win or to win big (CT, MO, MN).

And on the other side, John McCain pulled away to make himself the likely Republican nominee. Good. Bring him on. His tired, George-Bush-lite mentality is so transparent that we'll grind him into dust come November. Real America won't buy his "solutions," even if some factions of the Republican party do.

In earnest, the highest point last night came when Obama gave his speech. It was the last of the evening, after mostly stump-like performances from the others. And. He. Killed. It. He was Presidential; he was clear; he appealed to egalitarianism and populism; and he was empowering. We are the change we seek, he says. And so it is.

I've always said that the only way to realize and affect change is to reach out and make it happen. Last night, Obama said the same, and it was very exciting. I can only hope that the rest of America saw what I saw, and that the big blue wave he's leading continues to crest all the way through November.

What did you think of last night's events? Were you as pleased as I was?
