He made a believer out of me
I was for Kucinich, then Edwards. Since Edwards dropped out, I've hedged my bets as "Either of them would be fine". Neither candidate is perfect but either would have made a decent president. I knew Obama was a superb public speaker but I hadn't heard him say much of substance.

Then I watched the speech. He convinced me.

(Don't expect me to shout "Gobama" though, I still have some dignity).

11. but you made the effort, didn't you? what in the hell is wrong with noticing
that people are swooning like this was some sort of baptist revival meeting? seriously, the reaction I am seeing here is giving me the creeps.

12. Words wielded well move people.
In case you hadn't noticed, it's why sites like this exist. We all desire to persuade and share experiences; some of us (like Obama did today) happen to have a gift for oratory. That is not a bad thing. Being moved by it is not a bad thing, either.

15. It's almost like that when you read these posts.
Actions speak louder than words. And the actions aren't there.

8. I feel the same. word for word.
Now I really do hope those gobama cheerleaders knock it off. That's exactly what has been turning me off.
