In an ideal world, Bill Richardson would have a shot in hell. I wouldn’t be bothered by John Edwards. I could live with Hillary Clinton.
But, Barack Obama is increasingly appealing. His much-buzzed-about speech at the Jefferson Jackson fundraising dinner really titillated me. It is striking in the style of great political speeches. It filled me with optimism that I can imagine Americans felt when they heard JFK speak. It was the best speech I’ve heard an American politician give in my lifetime… (yes, better than Bill Clinton.)
“I don’t want to pit Red America against Blue America, I want to be the President of the United States of America.”
The speech made me very against the idea of “living with” Hillary. I proceeded to Barack Obama’s online store and bought a “Got Hope?” t-shirt. Because today, I have hope.
