Super Tuesday marks a high point in the election process where the largest number of states cast votes for a presidential candidate. We traditionally look to the results of Super Tuesday to give us a front runner for the Democratic and Republican parties. This Super Tuesday, however, means much more than the delivery of a nominee. The date of February 5, 2008, irrespective of the results, will echo a historical turning point in this nation.
For the first time in our history we are standing up as an evolved people. We are speaking to the world that we are the sum total of all of our parts. We are shouting from the mountain tops and the peaks and valleys that we have the vision to honor and respect all of our human resources. For 43 presidential elections we have endeavored to think that only white men had the knowledge, the ability and the right to occupy the oval office. Such a position is not a testament to our greatness but rather an articulation of the dimness and the shallowness by which we view the diverse resources of this nation.
Comes what may, what a brilliant day, what an affirmation to who we can be as a nation. We have turned the corner to genuinely see the might of our country and to live out the true meaning of its creed. We can now say that we are truly a government of the people, by the people and for the people. This day will give new hope and new direction to a country that has been lost too long because of its blindness and its unwillingness to change. We are on the precipice of a new road and one that points to “I Can” for every little boy and girl in America. This country is on the move and after this election is over, there will still be some dark days head, but it will never be the same.
