pressure from African-American leaders he retracted his support for his
longtime friend Hillary Clinton and re-endorsed his fellow
African-American, Barack Obama.

What What has set Barack Obama apart from his opposition and what
has made him the political messiah of the young and old alike is not
simply his ability to give a great speech. Instead it is the feeling
behind Barack Obama’s words that has captured the hearts of so many.

Arnold’s done it, Teddy, too. Richardson might, Edwards, he’s
not talking. We’ve heard from an Eisenhower, way too many Kennedy’s,

Bird himself. But don’t despair, there’s still an eleventh hour
tweet-tweet that yet may come. Closed.
