Political campaigns and guitar solos

Keith Moon once said that the most important thing about a guitar solo is how you start, and how you finish. I think the same thing holds true of political campaigns.

Tonight, Barack Obama gave one of the great speeches in American political history, the opening phrase, I guess, of the last part of his guitar solo. Even I was impressed, and you get the feeling that even better speeches are yet to come.

In the words of Bill Murray: "He came, he saw, he kicked ass"
