A Century of Waiting Is Rewarded
The Caucus — John McCain had Joe the Plumber. Barack Obama has 106-year-old Ann Nixon Cooper. Ms. Cooper was one of Mr. Obama’s millions of black supporters, and on Tuesday night, her life became the emotional climax of his victory speech . In a rousing coda, Mr. Obama linked her story to America’s progress over the 20th century, saying that “after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change.” Ms. Cooper stayed up late to watch the speech from her home in Atlanta and went to bed smiling, friends said.

Narcissism Gone Wild: "Yes We Can" becomes "Yes I Can"
The Discerning Texan — ... ... restraint and modesty also mark the victory speech delivered in Grant Park, Chicago, on Nov. 4. The key note is struck early: “This is your victory.” When he promises, the promise is made not to the people, but on their behalf: “I promise you, we as a people will get there.” It is a short sentence, but by the end of it the self assertion of the “I” has been entirely dissipated. Repeatedly, agency and power are transferred to the audience. Change “cannot happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.” And, of course, the repeated ...
