An earthquake anywhere in the upper midwest is so rare as to be almost non-existent. The presence of an Illinois candidate who is defying all expectations with his ability to transcend normal politics coincides with the seismic event that has Illinois as ground zero.
The persistent tremors emanating from Illinois reverberate through Barack as his force of will permeates the population. Conscious or not, he is tapping into the soul of MLK. There is a parallel to the revolution of the 60's and the seemingly coming age of peace (pulling out of Iraq) that is dawning in the beginning of 2009. There is now a greater acceptance of the consequences of our road to ruin as a western society. We bring it upon ourselves, so our urge to make amends for our trespasses will atone for the disaster that was the Alamo of neo-conservatism.
