Even if your candidate didn't win tonight, you have reason to celebrate. We all do.

Barack Obama's stirring victory in Iowa -- down home, folksy, farm-fed, Midwestern, and 92 percent white Iowa -- says a lot about America, and also about the current mindset of the American voter.

Because tonight voters decided that they didn't want to look back. They wanted to look into the future -- as if a country exhausted by the last seven years wanted to recapture its youth.

Bush's re-election in 2004 was a monument to the power of fear and fear-mongering. Be Very Afraid was Bush/Cheney's Plans A through Z. The only card in the Rove-dealt deck. And it worked. America, its vision distorted by the mushroom clouds conjured by Bush and Cheney, made a collective sprint to the bomb shelters in our minds, our lizard brains responding to fear rather than hope.

1. Sure...because since when she was republican

and even before she got a divorce from her gay husband billionaire (and took him to the cleaners) she has been flaming and panning Hillary and Bill Clinton.

She tried to get him elected to the senate (he lost) she tried to get him elected to governor (he lost) then she dumped him. She also knew he was gay when she married him, but she used that as an excuse for the divorce. And all this is public record....

She posts crap about them every day in her column. So why shouldn't she like the rest of the republicans, celebrate. Besides she can say she changed parties. But she is still a whole ass republican.

3. I disagree...

I think Arianna is a very independent-minded progressive and very cogent.
