Did you watch?  Did you see?

I have never felt more strongly about a candidate for any postition.  Obama for '08.

I almost shed a tear.  His speech moved me in so many ways... I was overjoyed.

He never mentioned McCain.  He continuously mentioned the middle class.  McCain did not mentioned the middle class a single time in any of the three debates.

Obama's plans are well thought out, but there something more important going on.  Did you feel good about the future?  No, no, not  do you feel good about the future, I asked, "Did you feel good about the future?"  

 Obama's campaign has been driven by the message of hope, and I've felt it many times before this.  This presentation tonight though was a full 30 minutes packed full of hope.  I don't know if I've been hopeful for that long in a while.

Finally, a presidential candidate that speaks to us, not about health care just being more affordable; instead saying everyone deserves to have it and should be provided with it if they can't afford it.  Everyone.  That's the difference.  Everyone.  That sounds nice.  Everyone.  The United States of America.  Everyone.  Yeah, that's good.

Whatever happens, I'm going to remember this feeling.  I'm going to hold onto it for as long as I can because... because, folks, if he doesn't win... if he doesn't win, it's going to be a long time before we feel it again.
