"I would recommend to my friend Paul (Begala) here, tonight when everybody leaves, lock the doors. You don't have to come back tomorrow. This convention is done," Castellanos said. "This will be the moment that probably re-elected Barack Obama. Bill Clinton saved the Democratic Party once, it was going to far left, he came in, the new democrats took it to the center. He did it again tonight."

Wow, that's a pretty good compliment. And he may be right. Besides that, Biden and Obama are on tonight, and I'll bet they're going to be just as good as Michelle and Clinton have been.

3. I was a little shocked by this too.

Today, it almost feels like we're in the eye of the hurricane (in a good way), I feel that tonight will be remarkable too.

My daughter is 33 and she was spellbound by Clinton last night. She can't wait to see tonight's speeches now. Even though she votes Dem anyway, this is a different reaction from her -- normally she wouldn't be interested in watching it. I can't help feeling that others in the public are being affected by this convention too. There's something different about it.

2. Reminds Me of Clinton's State of the Union Address

when impeachment proceedings were hanging over him and Republicans were at his throat.

Clinton delievered one of his inimitable speeches, after which Pat Robertson commented: "They might as well cancel the impeachment proceedings right now. That speech was a home run."
