Fucking brilliant
Day one of the Democratic Convention (watch it on C-SPAN) was marked by Bill Clinton’s amazing speech. The Democrats were excited and wistful, and it was pretty obvious that they wanted someone like Bill Clinton to come forward again.
Day two brought us Howard Dean’s long, warm reception from the very people who, had the stakes not been so great, would have loved to have given him the nomination. They clapped and cheered for minutes before he had even said a word.
Day two also marks the day that Barack Obama hit the national stage and shone brilliantly. That man can speak like no other member of the new generation of Democrats, and the reception was floor-pounding, earth-shattering–simply great. I feel sorry for any of these poor bastards who have to follow him. Watch his Senate career and a possible run for the Presidency in 12 years. Yes, he’s that good.
