Damn.

Setting aside for just a moment all questions of politics or qualifications or anything else: Barack Obama has to be one of the best political orators we've produced in a long time.

When last you and I had any meaningful discourse, I was a stark-raving conservative.

Had I not already seen the light and become a moderate, Obama would have done the trick.

As it is, he'll definitely have me voting for a Democrat ticket WITHOUT wanting to take a shower afterwards for the first time, ever.

Heck, after hearing Bill Clinton's speech, I might actually become a Democrat by registration.

(Now, Bill *Richardson*, on the other hand... What the heck was he thinking tonight??!?)

What'd I say??

Didn't you ever do anything stupid when you were young? :)

The wow wasn't meant to reflect on your judgment (past or present) but rather on Obama's influence.

Oh.

Yeah. I was just agreeing that he's a phenomenal orator amongst a group of people who were already pretty darned good to start with.

Except Bill Richardson. I'm still trying to sort out what I think of that one. Weird speech.
