Nothing is inevitable in America. We are the captains of our fate. We're not a country that prefers nostalgia to optimism; a country that would rather go back than forward. We're the world's leader, and leaders don't pine for the past and dread the future. We make the future better than the past. We don't hide from history. We make history. That, my friends, is the essence of hope in America, hope built on courage, and faith in the values and principles that have made us great. I intend to make my stand on those principles and chart a course for our future greatness, and trust in the judgment of the people I have served all my life. So stand up with me, my friends, stand up and fight for America -- for her strength, her ideals, and her future. The contest begins tonight. It will have its ups and downs. But we will fight every minute of every day to make certain we have a government that is as capable, wise, brave and decent as the great people we serve. That is our responsibility and I will not let you down.

Thanks to the people of New Hampshire, REALLY!
Almost everyone on TV keeps talking about Senator Obama's speeches. I thought what he did so well on Tuesday night was take his vision from 30,000feet to 300,000feet. (Of course he's on the wrong path, though. You'd think he could see THAT!) My favorite McCain quote has been, "I'm the expert on this...The correct answer is NO!" From the Reagan Library Debate. Come on, can it get better that THAT? Now that may be just My Favorite Quote in January. (Don't tell anyone that I watch so much TV.)
