Today is not just about Obama, or McCain or Bush. Because this race has not been about a cult of personality (no matter how much the McCain campaign tried to make it one, and accuse the Obama campaign of trying to make it one.) After the financial crisis, voters kept the focus on issues, no matter what anyone else tried to do.

The result tonight will be a verdict on anti-government conservatism, and a question whether America wants active government again. It will be a verdict on unilateralist neocon foreign policy, and a question whether America wants to engage the world again.

A big victory for Obama will mean a big mandate for change. But a mandate is just a beginning, not a glide path. Obstructionist forces will remain, and delivering change will not be a spectator sport after today.

But electing a president powered by the largest grassroots base in history is a good way to begin.
