In the above Chomsky addresses all the issues brought up here w.r.t
Obama:
* is there a movement?
* is his election a historic event?
* what should "we" do?
* what can we expect of Obama?
* what is the right way to characterise the result?
* who wins elections i.e., how are they won? (answer: its still the
money!)
* what do Obama's picks mean?
The article is a transcript, I suspect using the same speech-to-text
software that provides us the occasional gem from Michael(*) ;-) -- I
mention that to warn you that some of the sentences sound incoherent.

(*) How do the gliterati of PEN-L wish to be addressed? Prof.
Perelman? Dr. De? Grand Mufti Henwood, Mad Max?
