The mysterious Spengler on Obama:
That is why McCain will win in November, and by a landslide, barring some unforeseen event. Obama is the most talented and persuasive politician of his generation, the intellectual superior of all his competitors, but a fatally insecure personality. American voters are not intellectual, but they are shrewd, like animals. They […]

Great sum-up of the speech here.
Despite the Clinton years, the Democrats seem to be stuck to some considerable degree in the 1970s and this speech would have been better given at the 1972 convention.

From Obama’s speech today:
And this helps explain, perhaps, my relationship with Reverend Wright. As imperfect as he may be, he has been like family to me.
