Barack Obama’s 21-minute SuperTuesday speech was a medley of his greatest-hit rhetorical flourishes lately:

“Our time has come… Our movement is real… Change is coming to America… We are more than a collection of red states and blue states. We are and always will be the United States of America… This time can be different…. Not this time. Not this year…. This time we have to seize the moment…. This fall, we owe the American people a real choice…. We have to choose between change and more of the same, we have to choose between looking backwards and looking forwards. We have to choose between our future and our past…. We can do this… We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek…. Yes we can….”

Compare and contrast with the minute-plus of Hillary Clinton’s speech that her campaign puts up. Same essential message without the chanting and cheering.

And here’s John McCain declaring himself the frontrunner. “Tonight I think we must get used to the idea that we are the Republican Party frontrunner.”
