Thank You, Bill Clinton

I'm as surprised as I am impressed:

"This is Bill Clinton calling to ask you to vote NO on Proposition 8 on Tuesday, November 4th. Proposition 8 would use state law to single out one group of Californians to be treated differently -- discriminating against members of our family, our friends and our co-workers. If I know one thing about California, I know that is not what you're about. That is not what America is about. Please vote NO on 8. It's unfair and it's wrong. Thank you."

Clinton's recorded message went to millions of Californians overnight. If he makes the difference, we can finally forgive him for DOMA. But seriously: a great thing. He came through. I won't forget. None of us will.
