Obama exploded onto the national scene
10A day after Barack Obama’s Keynote Address at the 2004 DNC, NBC News ran posted this article (extracted):
Making his national debut, “a skinny kid with a funny name” brought Democrats to their feet with a call for unity and a message of hope.
Barack Obama, an up-and-coming Senate hopeful from Illinois, spoke from experience about the importance of diversity in American life, but reminded the Democratic National Convention of the nation’s motto: “E pluribus unum” — out of many, one.
If elected this fall, Obama, 42, would become the Senate’s only black member, and just the fifth black senator in history. He has no opponent in the race because the Republican, Jack Ryan, dropped out after unsealed divorce records showed Ryan’s ex-wife had accused him of taking her to sex clubs.
The convention delegates gave Obama a standing ovation and wildly waved blue and white signs bearing his name. There was a sense in the arena that a new star of the Democratic Party was emerging.
