I don't know if you remember the speech he gave at the last Democratic convention. I couldn't move until he was done. When he was done, I went and did some research to find out about this person that I knew very little about. When he speaks you almost think that you are hearing an excerpt from a famous speech. Something along the lines of "Ask not what your country can do for you" or "I have a dream".

I turned off the tv before the results came in because I couldn't take any more of the prognosticating and speculating and whatnot. It is, without a doubt, one of the best speeches I have ever heard a politician make. It is particularly refreshing coming on the heels of <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/cheney/" rel="nofollow">this completely terrifying program</a> that happened to be on tv last night as well.
