What a wonderful teacher and group of kids. No matter how this election turns out, I hope they maintain their passion, involvement and optimism.

As one guy said it feels like their talking one-on-one when he gives a speech, they feel like their on the same page. His words to "unite" the country and "bring people together" reach into our sub-conscious and make us feel better about whatever problems we face in our own lives. Because of Obama's ability and mastery at emotionally appealing and connecting with people (which John Kerry severely lacked) he will win the election. OBAMA 08!!!!!!

You can see it in this video, the kids are not saying Obama will be a good president because he will do such-and-such thing. It's more emotional terms like "safe" "possible" and "inspiring", he makes people believe that whatever they want for their community and the world he bring it about.

Realize that none of the students are talking about policy. A big REASON Obama is so popular is because he connects to people emotionally. Any other person could read his speeches and not have an impact, it's because Obama has the elusive "it" factor when he gives speeches... there's something that connects with you when you hear him talk. Try reading aloud one of his speeches, it's not as easy as you might think to put the emotion and meaning that he puts into the words.
