Obama's My Man

Having watched Obama giving his acceptance speech tonight, he's rekindled some hope in me that he can actually pull this off. He hit all the right notes, even attacking McCain (but not too vigorously), before a crowd of what, 80,000 people??!! He had people in the crowd in tears. (Bush and McCain can move people to tears too, but for totally different reasons.) It was truly a historic moment, coming 45 years after Martin Luther King, Jr.'s I have Dream Speech. He is the first man of African descent to have a real shot at running a country in the western world.

And finally, a quick prediction... McCain will nominate Huckabee as his VP tomorrow.
