Obama's big week may be enough to take him to victory.
Edited on Fri Aug-29-08 10:38 PM by DCBob
Sure, it was just another Democratic convention but clearly there were some major impacting events:

-- Ted's heroic appearance and moving speech (added per suggestion below)
-- Michelle's incredible speech
-- The fabulous Biden VP acceptance speech
-- Hillary's full endorsement and dramatic vote on the floor
-- Bill's full endorsement and clear statement that Obama is ready to be CIC
-- Kerry's killer speech
-- The moving and memorable John Lewis speech
-- Gore's great speech
-- Obama's fantastic acceptance speech before 85,000!!

There were other significant events but those listed above, I believe, will have a lasting impact because each in their own way addressed many critical and specific issues. Perhaps the most significant was the impact of Bill's and Hillary's statements on the former Clinton supporters who were still on the fence prior to this week. I think most are off the fence now. That in of itself could be enough to tilt the election to Obama.

Of course there is a long way to go but this week has made huge steps forward towards making Obama our next POTUS.

1. Don't forget Ted Kennedy.
That was a powerful moment.
