5. I was trying to tell some one what I think of him
I can not put my finger on it but I just feel he is the man that thinks right for this job. I think it is a job that calls for that 'thinking' the right way. Truman had it, FDR had it. It seems to be the right man for an age. Bush and his group are so 'old' in their thinking.

9. He's put "conventional wisdom" on notice
He's organized despite being a newcomer. His ground game got it done.

He got young people to turnout and participate.

He carried a very white state as an African-American candidate.

Well done, Obama supporters!

13. He is quickly becoming one heck of an experienced campaigner.
Everything you pointed out will bode well for him if he makes it to the general election

12. I second that
I haven't given up on John Edwards yet, but I would be more than happy to support Barack Obama in the GE. He was and is a close second choice for me. Congratulations to Barack and all his supporters.

Let's change America.

21. Congrats, Katz. I'm not surprised Obama won, although he sure won bigger than lots of people thought
He put a lot of distance between him and the rest of the pack tonight, that's for sure. My wife and I just got done listening to his victory speech. He hit it out of the park.
