• Fox News, Transcript: Obama Democratic Nomination Victory Speech. From last night,
Change is building an economy that rewards not just wealth, but the work and the workers who created it. It's understanding that the struggles facing working families can't be solved by spending billions of dollars on more tax breaks for big corporations and wealthy CEOs, but by giving a middle-class tax break to those who need it, and investing in our crumbling infrastructure, and transforming how we use energy, and improving our schools, and renewing our commitment to science and innovation.
(1:25) Barack Obama speaks in Minnesota and gives his victory speech and talks about impacting future generations.
America, this is our moment. This is our time, our time to turn the page on the policies of the past… our time to bring new energy and new ideas to the challenges we face, our time to offer a new direction for this country that we love. The journey will be difficult. The road will be long. I face this challenge — I face this challenge with profound humility and knowledge of my own limitations, but I also face it with limitless faith in the capacity of the American people. Because if we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that, generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless…this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal…this was the moment when we ended a war, and secured our nation, and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth. This was the moment, this was the time when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves and our highest ideals. Thank you, Minnesota. God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.
558-608 – Is America ready for a black president? Are we at the place where we can judge Obama on his ideas rather than his skin color? For it is just as racist to vote for Obama as it is to vote against him because of his skin color. Can we look at Obama and McCain and their ideas rather than their skin colors?

• Tim Rutten, Marriage amendment may backfire on GOP: California Republicans shouldn't be so sure they have a winning issue on the November ballot. Claims there is "hardly a mass movement" for the amendment, and that the 1.1 million signatures were largely gathered by professional signature gatherers. Furthermore, the real money behind protectmarriage.com is Howard Ahmanson's $400,000, Ed Atsinger's $12,500, and Focus on the Family's $133,000. Rutten argues there may be a backlash to Prop 22 in 2000 similar to that of Prop 187 in 1994 which also won the vote of the people only to be later overturned by the courts. Since 1994, only one Republican has won statewide election, Arnold – and he opposes the constitutional amendment.
