Iowa Victory Speech

This is surely one of the finest of his career. At a couple points he sounded similar to Martin Luther King. This may well be remembered as the beginning of the end of Hillary Clinton's presidential ambitions. It is a truly fantastic speech.

Obama is articulate and able to share gut connections with voters to such an extent that he is unlike virtually any other politician in recent memory. Although he would probably have been better served by getting a little management experience under his belt, evidence suggests (notably his 8-11 point lead in New Hampshire, with 45 minutes to go until the polls close) that he could ride his "change" message to the Presidency.
