Sullivan, Andrew
Atlantic Monthly, December 2007, v300, #5, pp40-54
"In politics, timing matters. And the most persuasive case for Obama has less to do with him than with the moment he is meeting. The moment has been a long time coming, and it is the result of a confluence of events, from one traumatizing war in Southeast Asia to another in the most fractious country in the Middle East. [...] Obama’s candidacy in this sense is a potentially transformational one.

Andrew Sullivan is an Atlantic senior editor.
