How was it? Can somebody get me a link to the video?

EDIT: Also, although I know most of what they say is BS, what was the CW on it? How'd the pundits rate it?

2. It was AMAZING

To be honest, I thought it lacked some of the fire of Sharpton, but that is something I can overlook because he is not simply a speaker, but the VP nominee.

I think you can still watch it at www.cspan.org

edited to add: yes, you can watch it at CSPAN.org alredy.

4. It was the old Edwards...
The always positive one the with his "two Americas" theme and a new one, the "hope is on the way." It was a great speech, I'd say right up there with Obama and Clinton, and thats not Clinton in 88.

5. Very good.

Optimistic, upbeat.

Hammered the 'we need allies' theme.

Gave the 2 americas bit.

He is a good speaker, no teleprompter from what I could tell.

7. HOPE is On The Way!!!
There's something happening at that convention. America is finding its heart, its courage, its fire. The speech you have to see is Sharpton, it was incredibly exciting and moving. Then if you can see Cate, Elizabeth and John, that would be great! His speech was inspiring and hopeful, with a certain level of groundedness to it; not the same as Obama or Sharpton, but great in a different way. Believe me, we are on our way to a new America if we just carry this energy and vision of hope to our friends, families and neighborhoods! We're going to win more than an election, we're going to set a course for a new America!
