This is perhaps my silliest reason to like Obama, but the word "ebullient" is used in a headline on his web page. That's the sort of word people complain about in my writing as being too hard. I like a campaign that enjoys language and doesn't think we're idiots.

Ebullient is not a hard word

Obdurate, that's a hard word. Or adamantine, or even herculean. Those are hard.

But ebullient? That's more of a gushing word, don't you think?
