Obama Article in December 2007 Atlantic Monthly:

"Goodbye to All That" by Andrew Sullivan

http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200712/obama

Is Iraq Vietnam?

Who really won in 2000?

Which side are you on in the culture wars?

These questions have divided the Baby Boomers and distorted our politics.

One candidate could transcend them.

And just how is Obama going to do that?

Barack is going to unite everyone? How? By being bipartisan? When the other candidates are bipartisan they are accused of selling out.

Until the day comes the republic party is willing to put country over party, there will be a deep divide between them and those that do.

As for Andrew Sullivan:

Sullivan is a libertarian-inclined conservative who has argued that the Republican Party has abandoned true conservative principles.[4] After supporting George W. Bush in the 2000 Presidential election, he endorsed Senator John Kerry for President in 2004. In 2006, he supported the Democratic Party's takeover of Congress. His political philosophy includes a broad range of traditional conservative positions: He favors a flat tax, limited government, privatization of social security, and a strong military, and he opposes welfare state programs such as socialized medicine. However, on a number of controversial public issues—for instance, same-sex marriage and the death penalty—he takes a position typically shared by those on the left of the U.S. political spectrum. His position on abortion is more nuanced; saying that he personally finds it immoral and favors overturning Roe v. Wade, but he can accept legalized abortions in the first trimester. Sullivan has endorsed Barack Obama in the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election.

Yeah, I'm going to listen to what he has to say.
