MSNBC - A President Who Listens: "But this race won't have been historic if it turns out to have been a blip of civic engagement in the continuing saga of same-old. It not only revealed an electorate willing to follow the issues, to watch the debates. It revealed an electorate deeply, almost mortally divided, a civil war without a Mason-Dixon line. And a president who ignores that does so, not only at his own peril, but that of the country's future."
