Obama is a great speaker.
He can win the Presidency.

His oration is populist. "The People" vs. "The Lobbyists" (i.e code for the corporations)

Democrats better hitch their wagon to this shooting star so as to gain as many seats in Congress as possible....

7. His best speech yet! I keep saying that every time I hear him.
Now compare Obama to Mr. Sandman McCain, who is now speaking.

We sure do have a winner! Tonite, was the watershed moment in Obama's primary victory.

8. Obama started out slow....but....WOW!
Inspirational.

The guy gets it.

And can he deliver!

Every speech he makes is better and better.

As a former teacher, i LOVED what he said about education. As a history teacher, I loved what he said about history!

He is the real deal.

11. I liked how he mentioned SCIENCE.
maybe a slap at the anti-intellectual knuckle dragging mouth-breathers on the right wing?

9. That is my dream: a filibuster-proof Democratic majority in both houses.
Can you imagine passing a progressive bill with the confidence that our President will sign it?

No Lieberman to please.

Fewer "Blue Dogs" and more progressives.

For the first time, it's within our reach and we'll have the chance to do something truly transformative.

12. And we would have none other than the lunatic fringe Bush crowd to thank...
Because of their extreme idiotic policies awakening an electorate that has had enough of the BS..

10. McCain...snooze....stole an Obama line in his speech ending
So I guess Hillary is not the only one to try to steal Obama's lines.
