QRQ,
I absolutely agree that we've celebrated some false victories since the start of this fight, but we should not let that jade us to really significant moments like today's.
And you're right, I am a "freedom loving Southern boy", and I've put my money where my mouth is. I've worked on or managed political campaigns in over 25 states - local, state, federal, you name it - and all for conservative Republican candidates. (I assure you that this is not a glamorous way to make a living - kind of like being a roady for a really bad rock band).
In each instance, all the money spent was to overcome the pitiful malaise of the average American voter. We may wish it wasn't so, but that is the "ground truth." More than a few Americans could learn something from today's Iraqi voters, present company excluded.
