Did anybody notice that he brought up the Maytag repairman in his speech?

Kind of a funny reference.

I suppose he thinks he can cure his loneliness.

Clinton supporters are angry at anyone who would stand between their candidate(s) and the white house again. Y'all just want to keep battling the same culture wars of the 60's and the BushClinton BushClinton feud, and get pay-back at the Republicans for Monicagate and the HUGE HUGE amount of wrongdoings GW's administration has done----& this, to me, reflects poorly on your character.

Give the chance, the power, your (& Clintons') inclination is to hit, and seek revenge, and keep the many peoples of this nation at odds with one another. We Obama supporters, given power, are inclined to forgive, embrace in brotherhood, and work together as a coalition of differences moving forward for the greater good of America. YES WE CAN! :)

Again my friends, if you did not see this in other comments, here is why I can not vote for Barack Obama:

It's been a toss-up for me since day one. First I was leaning towards Obama, then lately I've been inspired by John Edwards. If he eventually drops-out, I will be back in the Obama camp! Obama's words do inspire and this last week the Clintons have left me thinking that their shenanigans seems more like a GOP campaign then a true Dem campaign. Hilary took money from Rupert Murdoch don't forget. She will be business as usual for sure. I wouldn't doubt if she has the feds bust the Medical Marijuana clinics in California just like booosh. I'm starting to really enjoy the change that's comin' and I like how it makes me feel. GO OBAMA!

Whether or not one's support Senator Obama, the depth of vision that he express in his speech is so powerful, you can only feel the profound inspiration and love this man has for his country.

Partisanship aside, we can safely say that no other candidate in this campaign stir such a strong and genuine enthusiasm when speaking in front of an audience.

Democratic America seem now to have to choose between an uninspired but truly competent pragmatism offer by Senator Clinton or the wind of change and improvement from a relatively young Senator with a voice so profound and visionary (visionary not so much it terms of innovation per se but in terms of natural leadership) that it takes your breath away when you listen to what is behind his words.

When I hear Senator Obama, I feel that like Robert Kennedy, he is the kind of candidate that just grow larger with the challenges in front of him. By winning today, he seem to also show that he knows how to surround himself with the right people.

Thanks to him for the inspiration and for showing the way into a politic that would be more collaborative and inclusive and about finding more solutions for the common good.

Wow!!!
I'll take four years of that!

Good speech. The Kum Ba Ya stuff annoys the hell out of me. The thought of 8 years discussing either race or gender issues gives me that vomity feeling in the back of the throat.

[ltfcrazy]

YES WE CAN!
And that's all I got to say about that

[ilcapo]

I get chills when I here him speak,a true leader inspires his people to great things...

[bigflanman]

Get the nomination. Then make sure that Democrats UNITE BEHIND OUR CANDIDATE! Keep John Edwards around PLEEEEEEZ!

[siri2k]

Inspiring! ROUSING!

I dunno about you, but this is taking me back to my childhood when I last heard real leaders speak, and what a refreshing and wonderful sound that is!

And what a mammoth RELIEF from hearing the "speeches" of George Bu$h! It's sounding better than music to me after these long 7+ years past!!!

NOW WE'RE TALKIN'!

I'm coming around! He is good and maybe, just what we need.

[Nielee]

Wow that is powerful. Who wouldn't rather listen to that for the next 8 years than rehashing the Clintons divisions and reliving the 90's. It's time to turn the page.

Why isn't anyone talking about the fact that BILL CLINTON GAVE HILLARY'S CONCESSION SPEECH?

This just goes to show that it's about Bill, Not Hillary.

HOW CAN YOU CONCEED WHEN YOU'RE NOT THE ONE RUNNING?

Do we really want Bill for president?
