If you haven’t yet felt the tinge of excitement and inspiration in the presidential campaign, check out this video. Have the tissues nearby.

It’s pretty damn amazing that a presidential candidate who actually has an excellent chance of winning can be this inspiring to so many people. This isn’t Mike Gravel or Ron Paul – candidates who clearly can get people passionate about ideas and idealism, but have no chance of winning.

This is a candidate who is mainstream. He has big shots on his side, like Ted Kennedy and Oprah. Even the Los Angeles Times endorsed him!

And yet, he still manages to truly inspire people.

This might be nothing new. Maybe the stories about JFK and even Reagan are true – maybe they too made people feel this way. But for us, for our generation, we have never seen this before.
