2008 Sen. Richard Durbin

The choice of Durbin, of Illinois, as the man to introduce Obama is clearly intended as a bookend to the journey that began at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.
Four years ago in Boston, I introduced a friend—an Illinois state senator most people had never heard of—with a name most people couldn’t pronounce. Thirty minutes later, Barack Obama’s keynote address had changed politics in America—touching the hearts and inspiring the dreams of a nation.
Nice bookend. But, it’s also a reminder that the bar is very, very high for Obama’s acceptance speech tonight—and mostly, he has to top himself.
I think he acquitted himself pretty well.
He is a whip for the house minority, right?
Whip dick durbin. HHAHAHAHAH. that sounds so funny.
