It is astonishing not least for its quickness, coming just 145 years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation effectively ending slavery and four decades after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. And it is even more astonishing for its decisiveness - Obama carried Virginia, once the home of the Confederacy, a place whose laws just five decades ago would have made the interracial union...
