    Agreed. His speech had a lot of specifics instead of just rhetoric. Good show.

    No complaining from me (pretty sure you didn't mean me, though).

    I'm just frustrated that I can't quite pin down which movie it's from.

    I didn't think he could outdo Bill Clinton's speech from last night, but I think he did. I'm just glad whoever becomes the next president won't sound like a dumbass.

    That was one hell of a speech. That was exactly what Obama tonight.

    A great speech. I thought the best moment was when he said -


    We are the party of Roosevelt. We are the party of Kennedy. So don't tell me that Democrats won't defend this country. Don't tell me that Democrats won't keep us safe. The Bush-McCain foreign policy has squandered the legacy that generations of Americans -- Democrats and Republicans – have built, and we are here to restore that legacy.


    Man, am I glad we have a Democrat running as a Democrat for President!

    A speech for the ages. It was amazing. It's nuts that people were willing to volunteer 6 hours of works to get seats in that stadium.

    It's especially nuts to think McCain had to bus in viewers for an event he was holding.

    Obama outdid Clinton - wow. Great, great speech. He really went after McCain, and had specific examples. No substance? Ha. Awesome.

    They couldn't give away 12,000 tickets.

    David Gergan called the speech "Masterful".

    Every time I see Andrea Mitchell I think about her doing it with Alan Greenspan and then I want to die.

    Obama was negative and defensive the entire speech. Where was hopechangehope? Where was the MAGIC PONY DUST?
