Reaction to Obama speech

What it didn’t do, though, was answer the basic question the McCain campaign has worked to plant in voters’ minds: what makes this guy think he’s qualified and ready to be president? If the question has really sunk in, Obama is in no less trouble than he was before this convention, and the Republican convention—where McCain’s readiness and experience will be front and center—will do him real harm. But if it hasn’t, and if what people basically want is to get away from the Bush administration, he has certainly given them a reason to see him as their guy.

Obama: "This election is not about me. It's about you." Is Obama breaking up with us?

Obama: "A Promise is the Only Reason I'm Standing Here." Well, it's certainly not because of his qualifications or experience.
