Admittedly, I am not a "regular" watcher of his show, hold the impression of his intellectual curiosity, and knack for threading varying dissimilar conversations into a coherent conversation as a special skill.
After Ms. Edelmann of the Children's Emergency Fund eloquently restating the dream of an Democratic America. It was followed with a broad reaching conversation with 4 representatives of the media. One with NY Times Magazine, Philadelphia Inquirer, a private news research/analysis firm and the other with another major news source perhaps Newsweek. One of the curious sides of the discussion is the perception among popular media of how Senator Obama does not carry the mantle of angry black man, because he did not grow up with it. By way of conclusion, without this baggage, he is able to cross the racial barrier and appeal to white voters.
It is curious how the male speakers (white) could not speak to race directly. Whereas Ms. Edelmann spoke of Tubman and King Jr. and the aspirations of a nation aspiring to be a leader in a new world with a moral compass.
It is a time filled with anticpation as to the outcome of the US Presidency in the midst of an economic crisis.
