Reaction to the Obama Event in Ames

I failed to follow up my live blogging (Part 1 and Part 2) of the Barack Obama event in Ames on Sunday. I have been fighting a head cold and have been in bed by 8 the past 2 nights and am heading their soon tonight.

Since I won't be posting my reactions, here is a nice writeup by a new blog called iPol. Here is what they had to say...

Barack Obama is, at most times, an inspiring speaker. In his best moments, it is possible to take him at his own valuation as a once-in-a-generation leader from the JFK mold. He places his personal story in the continuum of national progress on civil rights and civic enlightenment, and when he concluded by quoting Martin Luther King, Jr. about reaching out to bend the arc of the universe toward justice, he absolutely brought the house down.

Here is a great picture from Obama's flickr page of the event...
