I've been tuning out the Democratic National Convention, and will tune out the Republican one too. But I am following the major developments through blogs and other sources.
Democracy Cell Project has just posted the full text of Obama's speech, one that truly reveals what kind of a man he is, not only as an orator, but as a public official. As far as I can tell, he wants to eliminate the severe ideological rift that has divided America into Red vs. Blue throughout W's presidency; he is running for the President of One United States of America, not the President of the Democratic Party or the President of the Blue States. This is a stark contrast to the Reagan-Bush-McCain program, which is strictly for its followers and supporters only.
