Barack Obama gave a masterful speech before 84,000 enthusiastic Democrats at Invesco Field. Denver, Colorado last night. Another 38 million watched at home and abroad. Nearly all the pundits said it was the best acceptance speech ever. Even Pat Buchanan (Richard Nixon's speech-writer) was glowing over it. This speech is what the Democrats have been waiting for a Democrat to do since Michael Dukakis. It was filled with challenges to John McCain to quit painting people as being unpatriotic, just because they are against the war in Iraq.
The Obama team made sure that 35,000 of the free tickets went to citizens of Denver for a promise to work in a grassroots effort to get Barack Obama elected. The last text messaging gimmick they used ,got several e-mail addresses of potential voters. I thought the Clinton machine and Karl Rove were the campaign models. This Obama team will be the model for generations to come, using technology and grassroots efforts to maximize votes. Says a lot about the organizational, temperament and leadership skills of a Barack Obama.
Rumor has it, that they are still looking for that ball he hit out of the park last night.

August 29, 2008 at 3:18 p.m.I just wonder if it changed any minds though?
Well put.
August 29, 2008 at 2:02 p.m.President-elect Obama put on a wonderful show last night. He even acknowledged concerns that his social policies would cost money, increase taxes and "Change" traditional American values. But thankfully, any concern over this was cast aside. Under an Obama administration, everything would be paid for by eliminating government waste! Meantime, taxes on 95 % of Americans will be reduced while the other five percent happily agree to cover any shortfall.
August 29, 2008 at 1:42 p.m.Obama understands those who fear that traditions are being undermined. But people will adjust. After all, only bigots would oppose gay unions. And only selfish men could possibly argue against surrendering their pay advantage to women.
Under the new administration, everyone will have health insurance and save $2500 per year in the process. Entrepreneurs will flock to establish new businesses so that they can contribute more to the tax base, pay higher wages to employees, and cover that $2500 health insurance premium reduction. And the millions of new employers will look forward to covering the salaries of their dedicated new employees who take leave to care for their sick children, aging parents and disabled domestic partners.
But the best news of all is that under an Obama administration, Iran, Russia, China and North Korea will finally listen to reason.
