Lunchtime reading: Michael Bérubé has two good posts on why he decided to support Obama in the primaries. His idea of broadening the base of the Democrats seem now to be ready to pay off tomorrow, where it seems we might see* record voter registration, millions of new voters, younger voters, blacker voters being put to good use.

* Note: I am not assuming Obama victory. I am not jinxing anything. I do not want to tempt the wrath of the whatever from high atop the thing.
