Seems to me the Dems tend to nominate bland technocrats (Kerry, Gore, Dukakis--Bill C being the obvious exception). Obama is anything but....I mean, Mike freaking Huckabee stood up and said he didn't like the controversy over Rev. Wright's comments. Obama has a really historic chance to convert a lot of Republicans, and if given the chance I think he will.
As far as that speech goes, I didn't see the whole thing, but word is Obama wrote it himself (over the advice of his staff) and even better, didn't use a teleprompter. Wowza.
Neal, wudja think of THE speech? He has been pretty well inspiring to me.
