As an Edwards supporter: Obama's speech was brilliant.

[JohnLocke]

That was powerful and moving...

[blonndee]

1. Yes it was!!! Fantastic!! n/t

[Sebass1271]

2. that was really moving

[SeattleGirl]

3. This Edwards supporter agrees.

Excellent speech by Obama!

[ihavenobias]

14. As does this one...I got my first chill this political season!

His "concession" speech will likely be far more powerful and inspiring than Hillary's victory speech IMO.

But in fairness, it trumped the speech given by Edwards too.

25. Yup.

Obama's speech was by far the best tonight.

[Neecy]

4. loved it. Brilliant.

[Redneck Socialist]

5. Were we listening to the same speech?

His "why can't we all just get along" crap turns my stomach.

[havocmom]

6. yep.

Someone on DU made a comment that when Bill Clinton was attacking Obama, he was actually facing Bill Clinton of 92. Tonight, Obama DID sound like that sort of positive, assured candidate.

[Kittycat]

7. My god - I'm still feeling the chills running up and down my body.

[Marrah_G]

8. He took a page from Deval Patrick I think

His "Yes we can" reminded me of Patrick's "Together , we can"

[WillyT]

9. Same Here !!!

Props to Senator Obama!

:applause:

[WinkyDink]

10. Dang, it was! Who knew?! (Obama supporters, I guess!)

[polichick]

11. It was amazing - YES WE CAN indeed! nt

[CorpGovActivist]

12. I Have to Concur in All Respects n/t

[saracat]

13. As an Edwards supporter I was disgusted by how many of Johns phrases he stole!

And he lost me immediately with the we learned we can disagree without being disagreeable.And his talk of uniting Republicans and Democrats.Ain't gonna happen.Ever.I no longer want it too. He'll extend his arm across the aile and get it bitten off.Obama is as politically expedient as Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.He is not the candidate of change.He is the candidate of appeasement.

[ihavenobias]

18. I loved the speech but I have to admit

I started CRACKING UP when I saw this line: "He'll extend his arm across the aile and get it bitten off."

I may have to use that elsewhere for the comedic value alone. Did you come up with that?

[saracat]

29. Yes.That is me and it exemplifies how I feel about Baraks appeasement!

[LiberalHeart]

33. Total agreement here -- and I am not impressed by sermons.

Also, I kept thinking, "Geez, he's a 1940s movie cliche." I'm hoping America wake up and become a bit more reality based than what is happening with Obama fever.

[jbm]

15. it was a wonderful speech

Obama may not be the Democratic candidate for 2008, but I hope he will be the Democratic candidate someday.

[deminks]

16. Yes, it was good, I agree, and I feel alot better tonight about Edwards and Obama.

[Justice Is Comin]

17. He's got you all

looking at the right hand while the left hand is the one you should be watching.

I think it's aptly called misdirection. Apparently a lot of people tonight happened to catch the left hand.

[Radio_Lady]

19. Just a question... is that magician's or illusionist's terminology?

I have no idea what you are talking about.

[flyarm]

20. actually my son just called me and said..ma ..he had no concession speech..my son said it was his

winning speech..i was on the phone..but my son is non political and for him to recognize that..was surprising to me.

fly

[ananda]

21. I agree!

Obama is a great and intelligent speaker,
with charisma.. and gracious.

[readmoreoften]

22. They all have very good speechwriters. Obama especially. /nt

[bdamomma]

23. It was and this is not over yet, 48 states have to voice their choice.

[L.A.dweller]

24. It was brilliant and it mirrored Hillary's

They are twins :pals:

Glad that they are picking up Edwards' populist message.

[RufusTFirefly]

30. Yes. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

The fact that the two media-anointed front-runners are publicly blasting the oil companies and the insurance companies and the pharmaceutical companies (assuming they actually mean it, of course) is a victory in some respects.

Thank you Dennis Kucinich and John Edwards for tenaciously tugging the Democratic Party back to its Democratic wing.

Oh, by the way, did I mention that I favor change and that this is very personal to me?

[WinkyDink]

31. I don't know; did your father work in a mill?

Just tweaking JE!

[SlowDownFast]

26. As an Edwards supporter, I agree. n/t

[OzarkDem]

27. I still don't get it

He strikes me as being no more sincere than Reagan. He's good at delivering a speech, that's all.

[sjdnb]

28. ditto

[OzarkDem]

34. empty suit

I also don't watch Dancing With the Stars or American Rock Stars, or whatever that show is.

[Roxy66]

32. He brought tears to my eyes
