I think you are underestimating the power of tragedy. If Obama loses, there is still time between election day and inauguration day to redo the cover, do an end note and position the book as a look at the rise of the black political class and how it almost had the ultimate victory in its grasp, yet it managed to slip away once more.
Oprah would happily have it on her book club, a look at how far they have come and why they couldn't take that one last step. Hand wringing, internal agonizing, wondering if they lost their one good opportunity for a generation...second guessing by the pundit class and anguishing over what might have been is golden. It sells a lot better than smug self congratulations. Judah On Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 10:24 PM, Robert Munn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Don't kid yourself.
