The DNC - All the speeches

If you're like me and you didn't have all the time in the world to sitting around waiting for Politicians to make their way to the microphone at the DNC over the past week the you'll find the following link very helpful.

My take on the speeches (of the ones I saw that is):

• First off, the Ted Kennedy tribute isn't on that site. You can find it here. Its a very moving video and helps to explain his support for Barack Obama and how much of a hard decision it must have been to support him over Hillary. This together with his speech almost had me in tears.
• Michelle Obama did an amazing job humanizing their campaign, giving the family touch to their hopes for the next 4 years.
• John Kerry gave some great insight over something that had been troubling me. How have they spun the "Mavrick" Republican as "Bushes third term?"
• Hillary Clinton did exactly what she needed to do for the Party and for herself. She came off as a strong Unifier and support of BO, but didn't come off as just rolling over.
• Bill Clinton as essentially just giving his support. It really wasn't a significant speech.
• Joe Biden gave a great introduction to himself and his new role as VP. He also give a moving tribute to his mother.
• I haven't seen Obama's speech yet, but I plan on it as soon as I publish this post.
