What a night that was. Coates and Gary Younge gave me a hard time for not understanding how Obama had mobilized the youth of color. I argued that that didn't amount to a hill of beans - the "mobilization" was little more than a fan club, and Obama was just another DLC type, not much different in substance from Hillary Clinton. But to them, I was just a cranky old white intellectual elitist and such. I wish we could reconvene so I could say "I told you so."
