Remember this one. Because the last time we saw a presidential campaign like this was in 1968. ... Since then, nobody has stirred the spirit of America like Barack Obama. He is a phenom, and journeyman players can't beat phenoms. ... Normally, the election system is rigged against us. Not so this year. Ohio has a big chance to decide who will be a presidential candidate. And when such a chance comes our way, we ought to use it. Because if we don't use it this year, it may be decades before our vote is meaningful again. ... There are what, 300 million people in this country? And all we have to show for the people we pick to lead us are Bush-Clinton-Clinton-Bush-Bush-Clinton? On the face of it, isn't there something wrong with that picture? Let's pick the new kid. I've seen nothing like him since the man 40 years ago who never got to finish his dream.
