I think you can say that with some confidence. When the camera panned to the crowd at Obama's acceptances speech, you could see the crazy-eyed excitement in the people that I've never seen before in the political arena.

I've seen it before...in old black and white footage of early-fourties Germany....that same crazy-eyed excitement and mob mentality...

Yes obviously right. I was thinking in America.

I was on the mall in DC during the 97 inauguration, I was never involved in politics but I saw what you are talking about and it was scary. Certainly made me get up and notice.
