11. Baldwin ends speech. Bob Menendez up.

We've had a bit of a letdown after Carter's awesome speech, but looks like Menendez may pick things back up.

We need a President who knows the difference between a war of choice and a war of necessity. We need a President who will be truthful with the people at home as well as with our allies. We need a President who will engage the world, not isolate ourselves from it. Building alliances is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength, leadership, and purpose.

[Tatiana]

12. John Kerry will appoint one Director of Intelligence.

Wow. I didn't know that one.

[gristy]

15. Talking about Latin America.

Talking in Spanish. Talking about Kerry helping latin children living in poverty, saying he will give them needed health care.

Kerry will build bridges to Latin American neighbors, we will work in harmony, in unison.
