Obama's nomination acceptance speech on 45th anniversary of "I have a dream"?

So confident are Obama supporters in Congress that some have begun talking of his convention acceptance speech this August. Sen. Obama first gained broad recognition for his keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic convention, when he was seeking election to the U.S. Senate. As one Democrat noted, if Sen. Obama were nominated, his acceptance address would be the night of Aug. 28 -- the 45th anniversary of civil-rights leader Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech.

3. I know - I hope that his speechwriters
work that into his speech. It is too historic to not give a nod to.
