It’s not often that one speech provides an “ah, ha!” moment of lasting impact, but last night may well have been Obama’s.

While this would be nice, I'm not convinced. The likes of Chris Matthews can still tingle in his loins when Obama moves. Liberals need to believe the lie. They still will.

I know it might cause you distress but go watch the Olberman/Matthews tag team on Obama after the speech. They were a heck of a lot harder on him than O'Riley, Hannity or Krauthammer were. Chrissy the Sissy said that every time Obama talked about the Nobel Prizes of his staff it made him want to barf. Olberman said he didn't just shoot low, he didn't shoot at all. Face it on the extreme left the love is gone.

Liberals will always be liberal, but there's an entire generation of wishy-washies out there; people who missed the lessons of the Carter years, who desperately need to be mugged by reality. Once they've had their mugging, a good percentage of them will come around.
