He obviously has 'it' - the special 'it' factor that is impossible to define. Obama is a natural leader.<BR/><BR/>Obama will heal the wounds inflicted on the world by George Bush, the Republicans and the neo-conservatives. <BR/><BR/>'The American Dream' still exists and Obama reminds us why...<BR/><BR/>Obama is about the future. McCain is about the past.

Speeches don't count.<BR/><BR/>His legislative record is notable for its sparseness, its timidity (all those "present" votes in the state senate to avoid conflicts and future problems) and for its lack of bipartisanship. Combine that with his positions that put him as the most left wing (by US standards) member of the US senate and I fail to see anything attractive in him at all.<BR/><BR/>We won't even mention his dubious friends and associates (which he's now dropped like hot potatoes of course).<BR/><BR/>I'll bet you $$ the DNC is wishing Hillary was the presumptive nominee.Yak40https://www.blogger.com/profile/10391635243252561168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-13950703181760078652008-07-22T22:17:00.000+01:002008-07-22T22:17:00.000+01:00Iain still waiting for you to start your campaign ...Iain still waiting for you to start your campaign (crusade) to have the, 'Unionist' removed from the name of your beloved party.

Much better than a borng McCain convention where the most interesting event will be the selection of his running mate - almost certainly the 2012 Republican presidential candidate and with a good chance of inheriting the job (death, retirement, ill health) before then.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-13718230480026842962008-07-22T14:07:00.000+01:002008-07-22T14:07:00.000+01:00Barack Obama's Director of Speechwriting.
