Republicans heart Obama? I know he's big on the bipartisanship, but I would actually feel better if guys like Rush Limbaugh would keep their Obama compliments to a minimum (especially after this.) It makes me squeamish. Although if/when Hillary is out of the picture, I'm sure they will more than make up for these niceties with their typical hatefulness.

"Who's not proud of this kid?" says Amanda Carpenter, national political reporter for the conservative site Townhall.com. "He has a story people feel good about."

In the wake of Obama's remarks about unity on the night of his Iowa caucus victory Thursday, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, a former Republican congressman and self-described conservative, called it "one of the most remarkable speeches I've ever seen."

Bill Bennett, the conservative author, said on CNN that it was a "remarkable breakthrough" for "Barack Hussein Obama, a black man," to win in a "rural, white farming state." Rush Limbaugh added his voice on the radio, saying that Obama and Mike Huckabee, the Republican winner in Iowa, "had really uplifting, inspirational speeches."
