The Morning After: The Obama Democratic Convention Speech

The speech lived up to my expectations. It was a more partisan or blue state focused speech than his primary speeches, but that
is what you do at your parties convention. My favorite moments are the
ones where he directly addressed the McCain/Rove fear nonsense. He
didn't look rattled by their weeks of non-stop attacks. He seemed
energized (fired up?) by the task at hand. The contrast of his energy
and quiet confidence with the nervous/awkward/grumpy energy of McCain at
the Republican convention will be interesting for the country to behold. May the best man win.
