Wow.

I'd heard about Obama's speech, but hadn't had a chance to watch the video until just now.

Having seen it, I have to agree, yes, it really was that good. :)

He's a great speaker, and I liked that he was talking about ways to bring the country back together, instead of preaching more divisiveness.

I look forward to seeing more of Obama in the future. As for his promotion of Kerry, it didn't persuade me. But if the Democrats were to pull Kerry off the ticket and put Obama on, then yes, at this moment, I think I'd be voting for Obama!
