Very powerful acceptance speech and well staged theatrics. Have not voted for a Democrat in a presidential election since George McGovern in '72, but am going to keep an eye on this guy with the funny name.
David Brooks of The New York Times has a hilarious column this morning, worth going out and buying the paper. Its a tongue in cheek poke at campaign speeches, just a sample:
Quote:
It’s about the future, and Barack Obama loves the future because that’s where all his accomplishments are.
We meet today to pass the torch to a new generation of Americans, a generation that came of age amidst iced chais and mocha strawberry Frappuccinos®, a generation with a historical memory that doesn’t extend back past Coke Zero.
