Reply #29: Because the man has political talent...simple as that

[cire4]

He has the charisma, the message, the image, the rhetoric, and the speaking style that appeals to a mass amount of people, regardless of party lines.

Bill Clinton had "it." Ronald Reagen had "it." And yes, even the chimp has a little bit of "it." Barak Obama has "it." John Kerry, Al Gore, and Bob Dole didn't have any of 'it.'

There's a reason that the DNC made him the keynote speaker. It's because they recognized he has pure, across the board political talent. All you had to do was watch his speech to witness it. There was not anybody on DU who didn't think that Obama was destined to run for President on that night.

Hell, even the Freepers were gushing about him on that night. They were saying things like "we have to watch out for this guy" and "he'll run for President some day.

Oh...and he's a media darling. It's not everyday that we can find someone on our side who gets their ass kissed by the media. Even Hannity and Limbaugh won't lay a finger on him. The guy is an asset to our party and we should be thankful that we have such a bright future compared to the other side, who I'm happy to say, have slim pickings in terms of future Presidential candidates.
