He really was outstanding. Oratory is such a rare skill these days, as politicians are all-too-ready to illustrate. Obama and Clinton brought down the house. Wouldn't it be great if the first black presdient of the US had an African name?
I saw it this afternoon on the BBC Parliament channel, which has turned into C-Span this week. (Parliament is not meeting this week. :) They run everything live, but then they replay it later for those of us who are five hours ahead of Boston and can't stay awake that late. :) According to the captions on the television, there's a way to download videos of the speeches from the C-Span website.
It's worth it. The man can talk. He makes me want to move to Illinois just so I could vote for him! Let us hope he is elected to the US Senate!
I can't believe I missed last night. The one night of the convention that I had to work and it apparently had the best speaker. I hope he wins, from the video feed I watched and the speech I read, I hope he gets elected to the senate. Then who knows what will happen from there.
