It's going to be interesting watching President Obama govern. I don't recall a presidential candidate with such enthusiastic supporters, both conservative and progressive. It's a great thing for the campaign -- but it could be a challenge once he's in office. The good thing is that I think most of his supporters are unified by pragmatism in the best sense of the word -- not Machiavellian pragmatism, but the pragmatism that recognizes we do need to do something about global warming, we do need to do something about health care, we do need to strengthen the economy -- and of course, we do need to end the war in Iraq.
