The Obama Effect

Two words describe Tuesday's nights convention session: Barak Obama.

Below is Virginia delegation co-chairman Larry Framme's take on last night's events:

It was an "Oh my God!" kind of night! Last night the speakers just kept getting better. Clearly our party has another new star. Barak Obama is going to be President some day. You heard it here first! I think we Dems here are united on two things now: Electing John Kerry and believing we heard one of the great political speeched of recent times. Barak Obama clearly and with passion articulated why we are Democrats and why our county needs us now.

Just when we thought it couldn't get better, Teresa Heinz Kerry stepped to the mike and in a soft voice gave the hard truth about the real John Kerry - the John Kerry that is a devoted husband and father, who shares the real "family values" of a burning desire to insure that every family has access to quality healthcare, jobs and a great education.

If you were here, you would know why we know that if we do the hard campaign work, we will win.

Tonight is going to be even better.

Larry Framme
