I watched the convention and I have to say that Teddy's, Hillary's and Bill's endorsement of Obama convinced me that Barack is the man for the job.

I hate watching obviously "read" speeches (like McCain gives). Michelle, Hillary, Bill and Barack never once appeared to be reading their speeches. They spoke sincerely from the heart. I missed Biden's speech, but have watched the excerpts shown on the news. I loved the strength that Kennedy still shows despite his medical condition.

Barack's speech was very informative, which is what I have been (impatiently) waiting for. He not only gave his views on almost every platform, he gave a general view of how he plans to implement his ideas for change.

Barack really hit the nail on the head about McCain. McCain truly doesn't know. . . he doesn't "get it". That was made obvious today when he chose a running mate based, obviously, on gender. Since he doesn't even know the woman having only met her once and talked on the phone to her for about an hour, what else could he possibly be basing this decision on? He is a puppet of his party and big corporation interest groups. The stupidest part of it all is doesn't he know that NO ONE can compare to Hillary Rodham Clinton?

So, I am convinced that Barack will bring about a positive change for this country. As a low-income, full-time student (at 43 years old), I will see first-hand Barack's build from the bottom up theory.
