Because of my traveling and my general state of exhaustion, I couldn’t follow Super Tuesday last night. I woke up this morning to this speech by Barack Obama. Whether he ends up getting the nomination or not, you can’t argue that Obama gets it right when he says:

We are more than just a collection of red states and blue states. We are, and always will be, the UNITED States of America.

In the history of US politics that I have known, Obama may be the best orator I have ever heard.
