He Did It
I'm having a hard time coming up with something to say about Obama's keynote. It was exciting, emotionally and rhetorically satisfying, it lived up to and I believe exceeded expectations, and I'll leave it at that. One observation I made was that the halting, almost formal rhthym of his speech, something that's apparent even in the stump speeches I've seen, was not present: maybe it was the nervous energy of the moment, but in any case tonight he was fluid and flowing, especially as he settled in.
No surprise to us Illinoisans, but he really is the real thing.
