We are going to win this election.

Maybe I'm caught up in the moment after watching Bill Clinton speak, but I'm more confident than ever that we're going to win this thing, and I think in the end we're going to win it by a lot more than people are predicting.

One of the key things to remember about the current state of the race is this: after six weeks of unrelenting attacks from John McCain, Barack Obama still has a narrow but real lead. In the course of those attacks, McCain has all but emptied the kitchen sink: even his latest smear attack ad about Iran is just a repackaging of an old attack.

Barack Obama, on the other hand, has barely used anything against McCain. People have been critical of this, but don't forget, the election still isn't for another two months. Unlike McCain, Obama's campaign has shown restraint, saving some of its best lines of attack for when they matter. And the key thing is that we -- those of us who support Barack Obama -- are on the right side of history, to borrow a line from Bill Clinton's speech.

This election isn't just about John McCain or Barack Obama, it's also about whether we are going to change course after eight years of calamity after calamity, or if we're going to continue down the same old path. And on that fundamental question, Barack Obama is on the right side. And because of that fact, no matter what the polls may say right now, by November 4th, I think a substantial majority of Americans will be with us, to bring about the change we need.

Update: John Kerry's speech was incredible. I missed the beginning of it -- can't wait to see the full thing.
