Illinois state senator Barack Obama was a relative unknown on the national scene (although Abby Normal told me six months ago about Obama), but last night he made a big impact with his passionate speech for a positive vision of America's future. Why was he chosen to give this keynote speech? What is his message? How important is it that he might become only the 5th black U.S. Senator (only 5! What does that say about our political system?)?
