Wow! Dems know how to pick keynoters! I was sooooo lucky to have caught Senator Obama's keynote speech (on tv) opening the DNC for Kerry. Now THAT was a speech. I recall while listening to it that this man should be running instead of Kerry.
When Oprah Winfrey came out shortly afterwords showing her support for Obama, I got my first inkling of hope. She pushed hard to get him to consider throwing his hat into the ring.......and then just like magic, he did! The rest is history, and an ongoing history if we have anything to say about it.

Thank you for the links. I have no cable for my TV, no access to the airwaves at all. This so called 'Smart' Phone is my sole link to the internets. I have to watch my video viewing time because that costs extra if I run over but I should be OK if I pick and choose who to watch. VP Biden is tops of that list for tomorrow. Thanks again.
