Angela, what did you think of Obama's talk?

It wasn't exactly electrifying. But he's certainly smart, Clintonian a little. I must admit I was mostly paying attention to his adoring crowd.

Cool, I felt similarly, although I was lucky enough to be in the front row and could focus on Obama more than the crowd. The crowd was definitely a showstopper...it was not just enthusiastic, but truly diverse in terms of age, gender, and ethnicity.

When I lived in Chicago, I actually had the privlege of voting for the guy--and will do it again whenever possible.

And often ('cause that's what being from Chicago is all about)

Question. Can any of the Obama fans out there name one courageous position he has taken or one innovative, cutting-edge proposal he has made?

There is his early opposition to the Iraq War, although one can debate just how courageous that position was considering he took it while in the safe confines of his Illinois legislative district.
