Against all odds, Barack Obama persuaded a majority of Americans to believe in their own better natures and, by electing him President, the people helped make it true. As William Greider writes in celebration, "there is mysterious music in democracy when people decide to believe in themselves."

A Mandate to Lead
John Nichols | Obama has not just won the presidency. He's won a governing majority and a mandate to lead.
