1. Kerry gave the best pro-Obama speech.
He said everything that needed to be said.

8. Schweitzer & Obama are the future of the party, the future of the US
Two more different men you would have a hard time finding, yet they share a common goal for America. The GOP can field a few hateful, retrograde old white men and a huge Big Media propaganda organ, but the future of the country is diversity and ingenuity. We have to win.

12. Bill completely knocked it out of the ballpark
Eloquent, powerful and filled with fantastic imagery.

I couldn't have imagined yesterday Bill giving this amazing of a speech - I knew he would do well as he always does, but this was magnificent.

15. Tough choice between Kucinich and Kerry, but I think the edge has to go to...
Kucinich. :)

I was just about on my feet at the end of his speech, ready to take on a mountain lion.

Kerry did an amazing job, though, too. I miss the guy. He really came through for Barack.

16. An embarassment of riches, when you think about it
For me, it was Schweitzer on style, Kerry on substance.

19. Other: Ted Kennedy
I know it was so much trouble for him to get there and we might not hear from him again. So much has rested on his shoulders all these years, and he has carried us along.

26. Yes...and thankyou Massachusetts for giving us two fine senators and progressive leaders.
Imagine how quickly the fascists would have taken over in this country without the efforts of Kennedy and Kerry to thwart their plans over the last few decades.

inherited.

27. On points, I'd give it to Biden. On spirit, I give it to Michelle.
I've heard quite a lot of that speech in person, so I think she cobbled together her speech from bits of old speeches. Even at that, it was the one that did the most to kill that hateful "not like us" smears.

28. Dennis hold a special place in my heart
No one there will say some of the things he did.. one line, the prison term one, was cut it was so blunt. I vote for Kucinich's as my fave, but all of the choices were good ones.

32. Here would be my ranking, including Kucinich's:
1. Kucinich (A+)
2. Kerry (A+)
3. Hillary Clinton (A+)
4. Bill Clinton (A+)
5. Brian Schweitzer (A)
Tied - Michelle Obama and Biden (B+)

It was hard to choose, as I count four A+ speeches.

31. The fucking great shame is that a majority of the population did NOT see Kerry speak
because the MSM continually spew their shit and ignore our speakers.

34. They have all been very good, but Hillary's speech is my favorite so far.
To me, she struck the right balance of touting the successes of her own Primary campaign, rallying the troops behind Obama, reminding us how great America used to be under our last Democratic President, and slamming McCain on his positions on the really important issues facing our country. It was a great speech calling for unity in our party (which was furthered by her actions ending the roll call vote), and she delivered it with much heart and humor.

Plus, she looked great in that orange suit! :)

36. embarrassment of riches
I haven't seen them all, but I've been thrilled and moved to tears with the majority of them.

Hillary knocked it out of the park, not once but twice. She shut the MSM, rethugs and DU trolls up once and for all.
Michelle was fabulous -- sooooo human, soooo real, sooo smart, soooo beautiful...
Kerry knocked it out of the park. Perfectly pointed, scalpel-like, surgical humor.
Bill did a spectacular job of handing the torch to Obama, and hopefully shut the msm, rethugs and DU trolls up once and for all.
Joe and Beau were fabulous.

I'm looking forward to tonight!
