Tuesday night the nation's two major political universes swung into alignment and the choice of candidates finally became clear - Democratic Sen. Barack Obama will face Republican Sen. John McCain in the race for president.
At last, Americans can begin to envision the presidential race as it will actually happen, without the messy hypothetical scenarios that have threatened to obscure a much-needed focus on the issues.
McCain himself has kicked off the ideological fray, challenging Obama to debate him in a series of town-hall type meetings in towns across the United States.
We at Clearly New Mexico welcome the chance to compare the candidates as they face off in forums that will provide little opportunity for evasion or spin.
We've got a scant 151 days for Obama and McCain to square off and let the public decide whose policies make the most sense regarding pressing issues like health care, taxes, climate change and the Iraq War.
