Youth and African American voters Progressives? I'd say it took a large number of people from all walks of life to put him in the white house. I'm hardly unbiased here - I am, after all, one of those youth voters. I can now admit to my shame though, and admit that I was taken for a ride. If I had to do it over again, I'd vote for Kucinich as I truly wanted to to begin with. I let others talk me out of it, because, according to them, he had no hope of swaying the masses.

Still, I think it required a great many progressives working together to elect Obama, perhaps youth and African American voters turned out in large, even record numbers, but we could not have done it alone. We weren't the only ones who were fooled.
