Yes he was, he gave the convention speech that got everyone's attention. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 09:06 3
- Correct. It was the 2004 convention speech that put him on the map. I remember it very well as it was the first speech I ever heard from a politician - Krusty Nov 7, 09:09
- People saw him as a future candidate, but not seriously for 2008. -- nm - Roger More Nov 7, 09:08
- indeed. West Wing's Matt Santos (introduced that fall) was inspired by his arrival -- nm - mud Nov 7, 09:08
