[Labors of Hercules]

[RestoreGore]

2. "Speeches" don't feed hungry people.

And frankly, Im all "speeched" out.

[ellisonz]

8. Neither do elections.

So you might as well eat your ballot.

[Nailzberg]

3. Advance copy of Obama Speech!!!!

"Looks like I won! Let's go to the Waffle House."

[Tulkas]

4. Back On Message

Clintons can't beat that

[tekisui]

5. Do you have a stream?

[Tulkas]

10. no i have a TV

[ellisonz]

7. FIRED UP! READY TO GO!

[BeyondGeography]

9. MSNBC starting right now

[ellisonz]

11. They look serenely happy.

[Tatiana]

12. Look at how energized his supporters are!

He's certainly got that "rock-star" quality.

[tammywammy]

13. I love Michelle's suit

[Tatiana]

15. She's so elegant! n/t

[jillan]

I was hoping she would have said a few words.

[tammywammy]

18. I know me too

I love her speeches, well she is the "closer" and all.


Obama's awesome too of course.

[1corona4u]

16. Time to turn off the TV...

Just warming up for the next 4 years....just in case...but I have gotten good at it, since I've done it for the last 8 years too.

[Big Blue Marble]

44. how sad for you.

[1corona4u]

85. No, not really.

Just an inconvenience. Better than the alternative though.

[Tatiana]

Shout outs to the fam.

**Nice**

[Joe the Revelator]

17. Raucus crowd

nt

[tammywammy]

19. It's a crazy crowd!

[jillan]

20. most diverse coalition - good one Obama!

[BeyondGeography]

21. We have the most votes, the most delegates and the most diverse coalition of Americans

that we've seen in a long, long time.

[ellisonz]

22. Crowd is going nuts. "We want change."

[Joe the Revelator]

23. After 4 contests we have the most votes, the most delegates...

Got her.

[hulklogan]

24. young and old, rich and poor, black and white

latino and asian and native american

but not straight and gay. *sigh*

[Tatiana]

25. "We want change!"

Powerful.

[jefferson_dem]

26. "Tired of business as usual, hungry for change, ready to believe again!"

:woohoo:

[ellisonz]

27. "Right now that status quo is fighting back with everything its got..."

[BeyondGeography]

28. We are looking to change more than just the party in Washington

[Rose Siding]

29. This is really exciting.

Stunning victory.

[Barack_America]

30. Dig on Hillary's experience there. n/t

[Tatiana]

31. "We have to remember that this is a contest for the Democratic nomination."

Desire to end the disastrous policies of the current administration...

Real differences between the candidates, looking to change the "status-quo" in Washington, a status-quo that extends beyond any particular party.

Health care that folks cannot afford, mortgage that they cannot pay. No more lobbyists. People have come together to say your ability to lead comes from longevity in Washington or proximity to the White House.

[Olney Blue]

Congratulations, Senator Obama!

[Barack_America]

32. A little more negative than I had hoped, personally.

[ellisonz]

33. "We're not even allowed to say a Republican had an idea, even if it's one you don't agree with..."

"...this is the type of politics we want to end."

[Occam Bandage]

37. Burned.

[bilgewaterbill]

34. This is some speech!!!

[ellisonz]

35. He's driving it home now. "We are here tonight to say that that is not the America we believe in."

Crowd, "yes we can..."

[Barack_America]

36. I like the unity tone much better. That was beautiful.

[jillan]

38. Trying to put an end to the race issue.

hopefully the pundits will listen!

[Tatiana]

39. I'm impressed... Obama is getting his Martin Luther King on! n/t

[BeyondGeography]

40. He wants nothing less than the end of cynicism

[ellisonz]

41. "Now it is up to us to help the entire nation embrace this vision..."

"In the end we're struggling with our own doubts, our own fears, our own cynicisms..."

[southern_dem]

42. really good speech

Seriously, I can see his appeal.

[Colobo]

43. Obama is just rockin' the house!

[Joe the Revelator]

45. I think this is better then the Iowa speech

nt

[bluestateguy]

46. He is an outstanding orator

I can see why he is so appealing to people.

[goodgd_yall]

54. I think this one is one of his weaker ones

Maybe I've just heard too many of his speeches. It sounds like he's talking to the young uns.

[goodgd_yall]

47. Hey, he's stealing Edwards' points!

[ellisonz]

53. And that is the problem with the Edwards campaign...

They think they own the issues.

[goodgd_yall]

61. It was the bit about

getting tough on corporations about taking jobs overseas. He said it in a way that I could have sworn Edwards has expressed it before. Each of them steals a little bit from each other. It even goes interparty---Romney and his "change" and "Washinton outsider" bit.

[ellisonz]

75. Hah...

That's been a common issue since at least the winter of 2003.

[bilgewaterbill]

62. Edwards had better get on the bus or he's gonna get run over by it.

[ellisonz]

48. "They need us to come together to end a war that should have never been authorized or even waged."

[Tatiana]

49. People who cannot afford another 4 years without health care

who can't afford another 4 years without good schools...

Stop giving tax breaks to companies who ship our jobs overseas, looking after seniors who should retire with dignity and respect, put an end to a war that should have never been authorized...

He's hitting all the right notes.

[Barack_America]

50. Let's have it out with this race thing: This is not about black vs. white! I love it!

[protect our future]

51. He's talking to the Super Tuesday states instead of giving a typical victory speech!

Gobama!

[Barack_America]

63. Of course. Very smart.

[BeyondGeography]

52. This election is about the past vs. the future

Bingo.

[hulklogan]

55. She put scripture in the envelope with her donation!!!!

Woohoo!!!!!!! :sarcasm:

[tammywammy]

57. This is a positive thread

Please go crap outside of it.

[hulklogan]

80. Sorry, I thought it was the *******Official******* speech thread

I guess there's no place in Senator Obama's hope for change tour for GLBT Americans, seeing as how he didn't mention us once during the speech.

[tammywammy]

84. Well, then I look forward to

Edwards and Clinton both mentioning GLBT tonight.

[hulklogan]

91. I doubt you'll see either of them mention GLBT Americans, sadly n/t

[Barack_America]

59. I hope you're not mocking that. That is one of the sweetest stories I've heard...n/t

[Barack_America]

56. Bringing up working with latinos. Excellent. What a great speech.

[ellisonz]

58. "Don't tell me we can't change, yes we can, yes we can change, yes we can!"

Audience joins in.

"Yes we can heal this nation, yes we can seize our future!"

[polichick]

60. This is a heck of a tent revival - Love that "YES, WE CAN!"...

[Barack_America]

69. Dude, which church chants "yes we can" and plays Stevie Wonder?

Now that's the congregation for me!

Poor loser.

[polichick]

83. What are you talking about??

I loved it ~ and I also love tent revivals!

[Barack_America]

87. Sorry I was confused. A lot of haters like to bring up the "preachin" thing. n/t

[polichick]

88. No worries :)

[globalvillage]

64. While we breathe, we will hope.

Wow.

[BeyondGeography]

65. Superb...poured his heart out

[tammywammy]

66. Another great speech by Obama!

Signed Sealed Delivered!

[NJObamaWoman]

67. Proud to be an American tonight. Thanks Obama

[awaysidetraveler]

68. Yes we can! OOOHHH!!! Yeah, we have. Obama's at 55 to Clinton's 27--landslide victory is ours!

[sandnsea]

70. WOW!!!!!!

Just WOW.

Who in the world wouldn't want that for the next 8 years.

[Tatiana]

76. "Yes we can!" would sound cheesy coming from any other candidate.

He really nailed it.

[jillan]

71. Great speech after everything that went on this week.

[globalvillage]

73. .

:hug:

[jillan]

78. ..

:hug:

back at ya!

[awaysidetraveler]

72. Yes we can! OOOHHH!!! Yeah, we have. Obama's at 55 to Clinton's 27--landslide victory is ours!

[tekisui]

74. WOW!!! Go OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jennifer C]

77. I thought it was an excellent speech

Very impressed.

[awaysidetraveler]

79. Yeah it's a barnburner. I sure don't know about this country music, though.

[ellisonz]

89. I thought it was Stevie Wonder.

[ellisonz]

81. Yes We Can!

[Barack_America]

82. Breaking News: Obama says SC victory proves he has diverse BACKING.

That's the headline on MSNBC.

He's claimed this as a victory of diversity before Hillary gets to dismiss it as a victory due to African Americans.

Brilliant


ETA: sorry for typo.

[Kittycat]

86. She's not even going to concede by speech. She's doing a stump speech.

[Tweed]

90. I was lucky enough to catch his speech in Springfield over a year ago

And this was better!
