1. Amazing
Hillary Clinton is SO far behind him in terms of speaking talent it's not even funny. I can't begin to imagine a gathering where she would be willing to speak after or before him--the contrast would just be too damning...

2. Convinced about what?
I'm convinced he needs to concentrate on his work in the Senate.

3. No, because I have 3 criteria for a candidate this time around. First is
Edited on Mon Mar-05-07 12:55 PM by John Q. Citizen
The Iraq war. Obama has voted to fund it consistently, even though he opposed attacking Iraq in a speech. Not good.

2nd is Single Payer fee for service Universal Health Insurance. As far as I know, Obama hasn't presented a plan to insure all Americans have equal access to quality comprehensive health care. I'll be interested in seeing his plan, when he has one to unveil.

and 3rd is election integrity. Obama has a good bill that deals with an important aspect of this. I hope he also wants to dump the Dre touch screens.

At this point my vote goes to Dennis Kucinich. He is the only real change candidate running as of now. The rest are just flavors of the status quo. And I believe the status quo has failed our country's people miserably, and has failed the world miserably.

4. The only thing I am convinced about is...
That I should pay attention to all of them and see who is clearly the best person for the job.

It's way too early to be getting weak-kneed over anyone. Plus, there are possibilities that have yet to surface.

This parade is too important. Critical. Vital. I ain't jumping on the first bandwagon that rolls by.

14. I agree with you - but his hit back is still significant
Let's not forget who has been attacking his blackness - our buddies on the Republican Right. This shows he can hit back and hit back somewhat effectively. While I'm not sold on him either, it's certainly something to keep in mind.

7. It was a great speech.
I was really disappointed when the MSM didn't show it live.

8. Uhhhm. Twenty months until the election.
What's the damned hurry?

I have not decided for or against anybody. Why?

It's just too fscking early to be even thinking about it. In twelve months from now, when people will have started going on record on this--still too early if you ask me--the landscape for 2008 election will be entirely different. We'll all be laughing about this pervasive silliness about an election that's 20 months away.

10. Well the most positive thing to think about is the election so I find it a great distraction.

This Republican in the following video is not the exception to the rule, I have heard several of the most unlikely Republicans say they would vote for Obama. Check it out, link...
