The Chance for Change

"This victory alone is not the change we seek - it is only the chance for us to make that change."

I'm awestruck.

Without a doubt, the man is the most outstanding orator of this generation. Delivered in powerful, somber and dignified tones, Barack Obama just made an acceptance speech that kept me spellbound and reinforced more than ever the belief that he just might be the real thing - a statesman worth believing in.

It must be said, too, that Sen. McCain's concession speech was sincere and moving. He refused to lower himself to the crowd, and kept the tone high. But it was Obama's words that brought a lump to my throat tonight.
