I doubt that my favorite line of Obama's speech will draw any notice from the corporate media or bona fide bloggers, but it was this:
"So I've got news for you, John McCain."
The rhetoric of it is brilliant and simple, and (I believe) deliberately intended to provoke McCain's irrational anger. No black man tells a white man that "I've got news for you". And nobody except nobody ever says that to a Maverick. I also think the nuance will be understood by unhinged bigots in the audience.
I'm thinking of it as the 21st century version of "They call me Mister Tibbs."
