All I can say is wow, this man is great at giving speeches. Honestly, I don't care how you view yourself, democrat or republican, this is just one amazing speech and how he delivers it is better than I can imagine anyone giving it. I'm in awe right now about this (however I know this doesn't change what he has done to possibly lose my vote, what matters is policy, not speeches). All I'm saying is he is a great orator. What do you all think?

With the aid of many speech writers and a good teleprompter, he delivered what many people considered to be an eloquent and inspiring speech. Unfortunately, it contained much mis-information - which he undoubtedly believes what he deems to be his less than intelligent followers will believe without doubt. It's really too bad that his followers take his word to be gospel rather than to research what he says themselves.

Same material, amazing delivery. It was basicly the same macaroni and cheese only this time it was served on a glorious and elaborate silver platter. I note with interets however that some of his material did change and he seems to have pole vaulted to the right on some things, openly advocating domestic drilling and nuclear power to name one, hinting at the acceptance of civil unions over gay marriage, a compramise often critisized by democrats to name another. Yes, great speech. the minister did in fact deliver well and enamour the choir, but i don't see it as capturing the on the fence voters.

I liked this speech -- and I don't even LIKE speeches. He really is gifted with words, I think everyone who's been following this election season from the beginning has noticed it. And as a writer, it's not often I can put together such a glowing couple of sentences about someone ELSE'S use of words (I'm highly critical of my own, let alone someone else's!) Definitely one of the more interesting portions of this whole event -- and there were some pretty interesting moments.
