Hoffmania!: Electrifying

Absolutely:
The horrible taste in my mouth from the earlier speeches was gone five minutes into Obama's. 32,000 people inside and outside Xcel Center in St. Paul received a stunning lesson on how to deal with your in-party AND other-party opponents. He gave kudos to all the original Dem candidates, almost four minutes giving huge props to Hillary (with absolutely no boos, only cheers), marking clear differences between himself and McCain (after McCain played cute with Obama's campaign slogan earlier), and categorically defining just about every tenet of the Democratic Party.
Also: go away, Harold Ford! You lost. Why should we listen to your advice?
