5. That gave me chills
Towering rhetoric with a bit of substance. I'm ready to run through a brick wall.

16. Don't be sad...
It ain't over yet! C'mon people buck up. This is hardly a defeat. He lost by three percentage points.

14. WOW
Watched it with my 20-year-old. His eyes were teary, too.

In that speech, Obama wrapped his arms around the whole country.

Yes we can! YES WE CAN!

17. Nope
This was too preachy and too long. A speech like this has a place when you win, but Obama didn't. This isn't a stump speech or a victory speech, and once again Obama refused to go into specifics and instead engaged in platitudes. I give him a 6.

20. I'll disagree with the Oracle and say that I was more impressed with this one
than the one he gave in Iowa...I think my judgment's fairly objective, as an Edwards supporter!

(Oracle = Skinner) :evilgrin:
