Here's a few of the comments -
He has the power to persuade and inspire. I wish he were a conservative.

If a Republican had given that speech (and in terms of content with one or two exception a Republican could have) that person would have FReepers swooning.
There seems to be some serious dissonance at FR regarding the desire to see Hillary defeated and the debate between whether an Obama is a Hillary would be easier to defeat in a general election.
Given the Democratic turnout compared to the Republican turnout in all of the primaries to date, there is an awful big likelihood that we are not going to have a Pubbie in the White House. Perhaps things will change, but I am not holding my breath.
The ultimate question is who is more acceptable.
In terms of pure inspiration and an end to dynasty, Osama is perhaps the better choice. If one really, truly cares about policy though, the pure reality is that Hillary is a lot less liberal than Obama. Certainly more evil, but less liberal. Moreover, the GOP would gain more traction opposing the policies of a President Clinton than a President Obama.
On the other hand, that would also mean more of the same.
Do I seem confused?

No offense intended, but the folks who fail to see that Obama is an extraordinary, compelling figure are guilty of willful ignorance. I agree with the poster who said that were he one of us, we would be in heaven about now. I’d love to see him finish off the Clintons, but we’d have a tougher time with him by far.

Obama would eat McCain for lunch.
I hate her but I hope Hitlery has some good dirt on Obama.
WE would crush Hitlery I’m not so sure about Obama. It’s tough to fight a dream.

There’s very little I agree with Obama about, but anyone who denies that he is BY FAR the most talented public speaking politician in America today is deluding himself.
I was watching his speech tonight and having to tell myself “he supports amnesty, he wants to raise your taxes, he wants to make government bigger” because if I didn’t my instinct would have been to get carried away by his speech. He is extremely good at what he does.
Having said that, Hillary is a better politician because she lives in the real world and cynically manipulates the political levers in a way that doesn’t inspire at all but which works. And that’s sad to see.

Agreed. He apeaking style is extraordinarily compelling,particularly when compared to Hillary Clinton’s. I do believe he’s got her beat and he may have us beat! I don’t think there is one of our candidates who can best him in presentation. Unfortunately we have a large group in this country to whom presentation is everything. If one of our candidates doesn’t catch fire, and I really don’t see anyone even stoking an ember, we’re goning have our first black President, it’s just too bad he’s a Dim, when we could have had someone like J C Watts had the RNC had two brain cells to rub together! I just wonder who his Vice will be, surely he wouldn’t let Hillary within a country mile of the White House.

I think your hope will be fulfilled. Before tonight I was certain the Machine would negate actual votes in the bizarre nominating process that is present in the Dem Party. After watching Obama's speech, followed by Clintons (Both of them) typical whinny and oblivious speeches, I am changing my mind.
I think this guy can actually beat her and, if he does, and if he’s facing an anachronism like McCain, he could win it all.
:wow:
Of course there were the usual "Obama is an empty suit" comments but I think the freepers are truly:scared::scared::scared: of Obama.
