The republican response was sophomoric and I don't think they were expecting him to come out and take a swing back. For certain, the republican slime machine is going to eat at him all of next week but the stage has been set. Soon we'll have the debates and soon we'll see the real main event.

I said Obama was going to have to dumb it down in terms of not having his diction fly over everyone's heads and he did that. He also humanized himself. And he laid out his vision.

Now that the gloves are off, you can fast forward through next week. Let me spoil it for you: Obama is inexperienced, he doesn't care for his own half-brother so how can he care for your family, he's going to bankrupt the US and the terrorists are going to drive small boats in droves across the atlantic and bring the fight to us. We can't be safe with Obama, he'll give your country away to the poor, the small businesses we depend on for job growth are going to go under, he'll bring witch doctors in to socialize your medicine, he isn't smart enough to find oil in our own country and, oh, and he's really famous. Lastly, God has chosen John McCain to succeed Premier Bush. And God can kick Allah's ass any time of the week.

Did I miss anything?

I can think of some stuff, but I don't want to type it out.

I thought the 'America Voices Program' segment before Dick Durbin was very effective. Senator Obama's speech brought the goods. He took on McCain with no mercy. To quote Chris Matthews on MSNBC tonight after listing the McCain tactics used so far '...a great way of throwing back the other side's (McCain) best shots, and saying it's full of crap'.
