Transformation

Barack Obama is in a fight to transform politics in America. But first he'll have to transform the Democratic Party. How successful he'll be remains to be seen.

Meanwhile, John McCain appears to have done it on the right. His win in Florida combined with the fading candidacy of Mike Huckabee and the total rejection of Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo appear to have broken the death grip held by evangelicals and anti-immigrant nuts. At least on the national level anyway. We'll see if it trickles down.
