How anyone could watch this and NOT be inspired is beyond me. Obama is the one.

I’m afraid this didn’t do much for me. Remember how well the republicans take a Democrat’s strength and turn it into a weekness? Obama’s ability to inspire through the spoken word will be turned into a connection to Jesse Jackson that will take away some of the more conservative democrats and a majority of the independents if we aren’t careful. Multiply what Clinton is doing with the “one speech” criticism by 100 and you’ve got the Republican attack.

^While I think you are correct that the Republicans will attack on a speeches versus substance, I disagree that they can/will “Jesse-ize” Obama.
Obama is the first national politician who happens to be black, rather than being a “black politician” like Jackson and Sharpton.

I hope you are right but they don’t have to convince but a relative few to turn the election do they? Perception over reality tends to work more often than not.
