Was anyone else impressed with Casey's speech?

[democrattotheend]

I never thought of him as a good speaker, but I really liked what he had to say tonight. I loved how he used his views on abortion to paint Obama in a positive light...of course, some of the PUMA's will probably see that as a dig at Bill Clinton, but oh well. And I loved when everyone started chanting "four more months!"

1. Next to DK his was the best speech so far tonight

[maximusveritas]

2. Yes, I'd rate it as the 3rd best speech so far

Right after Michelle and Ted.

3. Yay, he was excellent.

I was also surprised, because he doesn't have a reputation as a much of a speaker, but he really hit it out of the park tonight.

4. He did great considering he was a big Hillary supporter

It was a great speech and very supportive of Barack. That isn't intended to be a Hillary slam at all, just a thumbs up to Casey.

5. No, he didn't support Clinton. n/t

12. Not an HRC guy -- he is very anti choice and anti GLBT

13. Dude spent 4 or 5 days on buses and trains with BO ...

he put his rear end on the line for BO in the primary. I mean, he busted his tail for him - he has four daughters and came out early for BO saying that his daughters lit a fire under him for BO.

14. Are you confusing him with Rendell? Casey supported Obama in the primary.

He gave Obama a surprise endorsement in late March...it was pretty courageous for a first-term senator from a state that Clinton was likely to win and where the party establishment was solidly behind her and other Democrats like Patrick Murphy had been shunned for endorsing Obama.

15. My bad. I think you are right, I must be confusing him with Rendell, who also gave an excellent

speech

6. best line of the convention so far: McCain is no maveric! He's a side kick!

[MiniMe]

9. I loved that line!

[Cha]

7. Yes, he was Great and I loved his

facial expressions, too.
