You have to keep in mind that speeches like this are not shown in their entirety on national television--at best, a passage or two make the news. He was speaking to the local audience, and he went over great. I don't know, Mr. Melber, if you're traveling with the campaign, and are getting to see the Senator speak day after day. If so, maybe you see that he speaks better on some days than others. That makes sense. But for residents of La Crosse, Wisconsin, who have never seen Senator Obama in person before, his speech was inspiring.WD08Wed, 01 Oct 2008 20:49:36 -0000
