This doesn't quite seem fair...

...many of the things I was going to discuss have been hit on quite expertly by Lacey and J.D. I guess it's my fault for waiting until the evening to post. I'll do my best to hit on some different themes.

1. J.D. talked about technology in regards to what McCain could have done differently, I'd like to pose a question not about the past, but about the future. How will candidates in the future use technology? Will the facebooking, and the emailing, and the texting, etc., be part and parcel of political campaigning in the future? Or was this a unique part of the Obama "movement" phenomenon? You really could ask the same question about incremental donations. Will technology allow these kind of numerous small donations to become more commonplace? Or once again, was this an Obama thing?

2. So, Struthers asked "what happened" in regards to the most important issue of the campaign. A few of you gave some suggestions, but I'd like to know what each of you regard as the most important moment in this election, if there indeed was one.

3. Last, Struthers said something to the effect of "we've lived up to Dr. Martin Luther King's dream." Do you agree with the sentiment? If not, what's left to accomplish? What will it take to completely fulfil Dr. King's dream for our nation?
