THE COMEBACK KID DOES IT AGAIN...
- BUBBA: He Came, He Saw, He Conquered. Completely obliterates any lingering doubts that he is not behind Barack Obama's candidacy for President. Magically interwove America's domestic woes with her standing in the world today. Made the case for Obama and in doing so masterfully made the case against McCain and the Republicans. A+++
- BIDEN: A good, but not great speech. Did not seem to be completely comfortable with the message he was sending. Nevertheless a good performance coupled with a great (if not exploitive) introduction by son Beau Biden and a touching video tribute. A-

- "Barack Obama is ready to be President of the United States of America"
- "The world is more impressed by the power of our example, than by the example of our power"
