2. And he is on fire!
He is powerful and passionate...

He is in his element: community service...

And at his Alma Mater: Columbia.

All good for him... and for us.

6. He's great tonight...like every other time he's doing anything!
He looked so presidential (I really hate that description but it is accurate in this case) as McShame left the stage.

10. He blows me away.
Eloquent
Compassionate
Has a sense of obligation
Understands the importance of giving back
Amazing grasp of history given his years
Willing to try new things
Willing to revive old programs that died premature deaths
Considering having summit meetings on difficult issues on C-SPAN with callers welcome

At this point, I was willing to buy into an ideal. ANYTHING would be better than the last eight years
But Obama is amazing.

11. In the end, the Dems and those who wish a better America will come together
to vote Obama/Biden

Palin and McWho? will get their asses handed to them...

They just don't muster....all the spin and all the BS won't matter....enough will wake up and vote Reason, Sanity, and Truth..

BS Crap can only take you so far...even in this environment of Media Influence(GOP)

The Palin thing has made people forget McWho's name

and Obama did an outstanding job at Columbia tonite...in my mind, he blew McWho away

8. Not me, I've got a crush on Obama! I'm so happy he's our candidate-
and so blown away by the possibility and the opportunity this country will have if this man becomes our President. I know that if every vote was to be counted and every person supporting Obama votes- even 90%- we'll have a landslide. But they cheat. Big time I so hope we don't fuck this up by letting them steal this again and our not fighting back (as we saw in 04 when Kerry conceded before the votes were counted). Never again.

Passivity is not an option.

9. Such a difference between Obama and McCain tonight. McCain said words but said nothing.
Obama is laying out the plan with specifics.
