Really interesting piece from the Times on Obama's appeal to various demographics and the authencity behind it. I personally didn't think his speech was entirely "preachery" or reminiscent of Rev. Wright's holier than now b.s. I thought it was deeply personal and as Maddow says, "literary." He was self-assured, graceful, and charasmatic. Regardless of what he said I was distracted by how he made me feel. I have to say that at the end of his speech I had mad love for the man.
