This evening I took a few moments after the Obama acceptance speech to check out what others were saying. Steve decided to mock the Obama-messiah complex through his very conservative blog. Jason gushed about how he felt a tingle go up his spine.
Have you seen it? What were your impressions? My impression was it was a home run.
The narrative he is selling is about moving forward. As of the end of the speech, McCain's narrative is about the past.

It is interesting how Obama is morphing his story is about himself to be "an all-American story". A story about rising up from poverty, about being in a single parent home, about the power of a loving family, about choosing to be with those suffering instead of pursuing wealth and power as a young man. At times, they border on making Obama appear "messianic". This will work against him in many circles. Still, the Obama campaign is about the future. McCain seems to be about recovering the past.
