An Obama win will mean that most Americans have found the moral character--and the conscience--to reject the old Atwater/Rove politics of hate- and fear-mongering; the vicious, distorted name-calling. It will mean we're no longer buying the win-at-any-cost sales pitch.

This morning I had breakfast with Valerie Jarrett, Michelle and Barack Obama's close friend and a senior advisor on the campaign. She'd flown in yesterday with Michelle and the kids and heard her practice her speech -- which she described as very personal and very emotional. The introductory video is narrated by Michelle's mother, who Valerie says regularly pinches herself and says, "I can't believe that's my little girl." Meanwhile, the HuffPost Oasis has become a must-visit destination for harried conventioneers. When I left the Oasis this afternoon, one high-powered magazine editor was slumping contentedly on the coach. "I've gotten two massages and taken an incredible yoga class," he said. "I can't seem to leave the Oasis." He's not the only one.
