A new voice?

Barak Obama gave a good speech and is an extremely charismatic and talented speaker.  "Politics of cynicism or politics of hope?" That's a good line.   Apparently, he's considered a brilliant, up and coming, and talented politician.  He's a civil rights lawyer who also teaches law at the University of Chicago Law School.  In all, he looks good on paper - it'll be interesting to see how it plays out in larger political arenas.
