I mentioned this in the earlier links, but Sen. Obama's speech in Atlanta is generating a tremendous amount of YouTube traffic (386,000 hits as of Tuesday night). The Nation has a rundown on traffic about the speech. This is one of the first full-length speeches to be given in the YouTube era that is gaining significance as a stand-alone piece of campaign rhetoric. Check it out when you have a chance. Regardless of your political views - you don't often hear a update of America's political heritage with this degree of coherence.

Wow--coherent update on America's political heritage indeed. An interesting speech on so many levels. I need to let it marinate, and maybe watch it again. Thanks for the tip!
Those new to Obama and to his rhetoric might be interested in his 2004 keynote address at the DNC, which is now regarded as the one that launched him. Of course, that speech was also given in the context of a presidential campaign.
