Scroll down under 'Campaign Videos' and watch "5-Minute Video Introduction to Barack Obama." It's fantastic. I seriously believe that in 12 years this man could be the first Black US President - moreover, he has that mark of greatness on him.

One thing I noticed about the video is Obama's penchant for speaking in multiple accents - the video shows him addressing the viewers and the general assembly in a very distinguished, professional accent, then shows him addressing a crowd of Black supporters in an African-American accent.

Check it out for yourself. Otherwise, take a look at the ads - they're great too.

1. He will make a great Senator for our great State.

Ryan is a goof with little chance of wining.

5. You better believe it...

Obama gets my vote come November. I really can't see how Ryan could win a pretty solidly Dem state with all his baggage plus the fact that he's never held public office and is pretty far to the right. That said, Obama's actually moved closer to the center. He voted to allow retired policemen to carry concealed weapons, but he should be pretty liberal in comparison to most in the Senate. I don't think he's got too much to worry about from Ryan.
