Yes, We Did: The Southern Argument for Progressive Change - Tapa blanda

Yes, we can.That simple declarative, early on, became the mantra of the Obama Campaign. If ever an unembellished, three word sentence carried multiple meanings for multiple people, this was the one. For three years Linda Hansen followed the most recent presidential election, from early rumblings about possible candidates to 2009's historic inauguration of America's first African-American president. "Yes, We Did" collects her newspaper and online commentary and serves as a chronicle of an often ugly, ultimately hopeful moment in national politics.

Linda Hansen is a 61-year-old journalist, living and working in South Carolina, where she serves as the rather lonely voice of the Left. Writing political commentary from that POV seldom gets her invited to the annual pig pickin' but she is happy to report that, even in the Heart of Dixie, the political mood is beginning to change.
