We want politics with another flavor. We want to see the politics of humanity, of dignity, of dialogue, of wisdom, of grace.

The Obama Revolution is more than a revolution of policy proposals, campaign decisions, and lofty rhetoric. It is a revolution in the way we think about ourselves and act on our convictions.

In this historic inauguration, seating is so much on the mind. Some people arrived at the gates just as the last of the guests at the pre-inaugural balls stumbled back in the opposite direction.

Obama is consistent in the way he treats people, kind and personally humble. He lives by the code that those who lead must serve. He believes that. He lives it. He lived it long before he was in the public eye.

Nearly everyone, including his Republican critics, seems to agree that Barack is a more deserving heir to the "I'm a uniter, not a divider" throne. What gives?

With several good choices to fill the VP slot on the ticket, the McCain machine decides to pick an unqualified unknown "regular hockey mom" with questionable experience and a shady background.

They'll get all hopped up with Palin and start yelling out all kinds of horrible chants, like "terrorist" and "kill him." What Palin is doing, and knows she's doing, is inciting a mob. Country first? Give me a break.

If unity is what the Democrats were looking for, they got it. The roll call vote was not expected to yield any surprises, and yet it did -- the timing was exquisite.

Being against anything is relatively easy. It's habitual. It's the way of the world. Being for anything is simpler, more elegant, more conscious.

It is possible that there is a greater power in bringing people together than there is in tearing them apart? Could it be that inspirational broadcasting which is Oprah's hallmark can ultimately triumph over calling people names?

While Gov. Jennifer Granholm has come over strongly to Obama, waving a blue heeled shoe in the air on one occasion, Democratic Party Chair Mark Brewer has been conspicuously inarticulate.

It's the season premiere 2008 general election campaign. The music will be blaring, the crowd jumping, the loudspeakers booming. But the real story is that Democratic "unity" is well under way.

I think it's just great they're back in New Hampshire together. Obama and Clinton split the vote here in Unity -- each got 107 votes -- so it makes perfect sense that they'll come back to Unity to start again.
