Good on you, Democratics.
Oh, and the arithmetical conversion of McCain's 90% voting-with-Bush record to a "10% chance for change"?
I melts like the glaciers, but with more muffled cheering noises.

Damn you! I was out last night & didn't see his speech. I read it, and now I am sitting here, at work, snuffling and trying to hide my teary eyes from all my co-workers who must think something horrible has just happened to me.
Not horrible! Something AMAZING!
O-BAM-A! YES WE CAN!!
Dr. J.-
Some people have superbowl parties- our planning was all wrong- we should have had a DNC sobfest.... a years supply of kleenex has been used in my house in 4 short evenings. What got me was the 'it's not about me- it's about YOU'....
Finally, someone who gets it.
I'm thinking of going door to door.
Ditto. Oprah said she "cried her eyelashes off!"
I have a car magnet coming to me for donating last night - I think there's alot of us who forked over some (more) bucks after the speech. I'm curious to see what they announce.
I couldn't sleep because my sinuses were all a mess. McBush is toast and I'm so glad I am alive to watch history being made. And I loved the "equal pay for equal work" repetition --- my idiot boss makes 3x more than I do as a contractor and he sees nothing wrong with this. I'm working a 2nd job to double that crappy salary. Please Barack the vote. yes we can!
I hope you all realize that Obama is going to actually be able to achieve very little of what he claims. There are powerful geopolitical, geological, social, and economic forces that are inexorably leading to the decline of American Empire. There is very little that anyone--no matter how inspiring the happy talk--is going to be able to do about this.
Are you suggesting that perhaps acceptance speeches at national conventions might be grandstanding and happy talk, and not plainly delivered policy objectives?
*shock!*
PP, it is bad form to harsh the buzz just 'cause your favored Hill didn't quite sneak in...
PP-
He might not win (gasp), in which case do not deny us our 24 hours of happy talk.... because it sure looks bleak on the other side.
Becoming the first black candidate of a major party--and with even the slim lead in polls that he holds--that is an accomplishment of giant proportions even if he never fixes a single problem with our world.
Agreed that America is headed to the toilet, but what on earth are the "geological" reasons for our decline? Are there some tectonic plate shifts occurring that work against us??
