Whatever you think of the man and/or candidate, one has to cop to the genuine electricity in Barack Obama's Iowa caucus victory speech last night. It's a nicely scripted thing, and delivered with power and grace — definitely cinematic in its oratorical punch. One thing that's notable is how inclusive and only vaguely defined his common-cause language is, talking about the day pundits "said would never come" without ever explicitly mentioning race.
