The Nation endorsed Barack Obama.

In other news...

The debate last night was excellent, and I would be more than willing to vote for either candidate. I don't think that there was a winner last night in terms of the debate - both were excellent. But I do think that the debate may have helped Clinton more than Obama, and this is why. Barack Obama is and has been seen as likable. His problem has never been one of polarization, but of experience.

Hillary Clinton, on the hand, has a perception that she is not likable and that she is "polarizing." But last night she was likable. Very much so. I have seen several different places talk about how last night they were reminded about all of the things that they like about Hillary Clinton, and I agree.

Hillary Clinton is very talented. She is very intelligent. She is an excellent politician. She is an excellent debater. She is very, very knowledgeable. She can be funny. And she can even be inspiring.

With that said, I still think that Barack Obama is the best answer for the future of this country. And I still think that Barack Obama has an excellent chance of being the next president of this country. And even if he loses to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama will be the President of the United State in the future.

I would bet on it.
