This guy, Barack Obama, is an awesome speaker. I had never heard of him. I am impressed. I almost wish HE were the candidate now, but he will be a tremendous boost to the Dems if not only in Illinois. Get him on the campaign trail. I’m looking for a streaming video somewhere so I can see that again. But let me tell you this: If he were the Democatic candidate, and the Republicans saw him up there accepting the nomination and speaking like that, they’d be shaking in the ir boots, cause he is good.
