Being a peace monger myself, I'll bet he has little taste or respect for the traditional slash & gouge of politics. However, in order to achieve the position that will allow him to lead through peace, he had to be able to slug it out at his opponent's level -- and that's just what he started doing last night! And it turns out he can go it with enormous energy and lots of hard facts!! Oh, how I hope it'll be he who takes the oath of office in January...<BR/><BR/>Linda SennAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-57205599910864940482008-08-29T09:49:00.000-04:002008-08-29T09:49:00.000-04:00I had thought the era of good political speeches h...I had thought the era of good political speeches had ended, but he has revived it. No blows below the belt, and yet he managed to define McCain so well that Republicans well have to waste precious airtime countering it.

I watched with 35 folk at Ferry Beach, and there were moments that even through a TV screen were just electric.<BR/><BR/>It'll be interesting to see what the whining about it looks like (from the "nation of whiners" crowd).ogrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15910505029382522110noreply@blogger.com
