As we gear up for tomorrow's primaries in what seems like 'round 2,080' in this year's election process, there is one thing that both Clinton and Obama supporters can agree upon: Never again in our lives are we likely to see an election such as this one. No matter who you support, you have to marvel at what has proven to be a political junkie's dream election. I can't remember in my 40 plus years in politics arriving at this stage in the process and having no winner. We have two candidates, both making history, running neck and neck in both popular vote and delegate count. No one could have predicted a year ago this turbulent election, with passions running super high and record numbers of voters responding at the polls.

Last year, most thought this Democratic primary would basically be a coronation. Senator Clinton had been a national figure for sixteen years, respected in the Senate and possessing a vast network of major donors. President Clinton, who was hugely popular in the Democratic Party, was viewed as a major asset who not only could deliver votes to his wife but also generate even more funds for her race. Not only did most believe she would have the nomination but many of us, given the unpopularity of the Bush administration, expected her to be the next President of the United States.

Of course, none of this factored in the issue of Iraq and the impact it had in developing opposition to Senator Clinton's race. Many long time supporters separated from her campaign over what appeared to be a weak stance on the war.

Senator John Edwards, along with other candidates, entered the race and some, including me, thought his populist anti-war message would give Mrs. Clinton a run for her money. Or, given his views, at the very least he would provide an important voice at the Convention. But being a white straight male, he ran up against the historical malestrom of the first woman running to become President.

Little did anyone in their wildest dreams think an African American named Barack Obama, a first term United States Senator, would be Clinton's worst nightmare. He was the one person who could match the historical nature of her race, steal many of the anti-War votes away from Edwards and present himself as the leader of a new generation of politics. Equally amazing was his boldness at using the Internet for raising money which seriously undercut the Clinton major donor machine. Millions and millions of dollars were raised by this upstart Senator and suddenly he was able to seriously challenge Clinton.

What has emerged is an unprecedented race for the Presidency by two historical candidates. They both have raised astounding amounts of money and turned out record number of voters. Passions have run high and at times the contest has fueled bitter recriminations. We still don't know the result and might not know after tomorrow.

But no matter who you support, take a minute, sit back and smile at a race that will be talked about for years to come. Many of us have not only witnessed this Presidential race but have participated in making history. It doesn't get any better than that.
