Gore
I am watching him live endorsing Obama. Why couldn’t he have spoken like this and had this bearing in 2000? He would have wiped the floor with Bush. So much lost….
Addendum: look at that huge crowd; it looks like the convention already. McCain will have to respond to this, and I do not envy him–any response he makes will look pathetic in comparison. Who will he get to introduce him who will compare? (George “Macaca” Allen maybe?) How could he possibly scare up so big and so enthusiastic a crowd? Will he even be smart enough not to use a pale green backdrop this time, or not to smile and giggle like an idiot? Maybe McCain should just lay low after this.
Second Addenda: Ah. McCain had to cancel a fundraiser at the home of a Texas misogynist who told women to “lie back and enjoy” rape, and so instead had a dry, cold press conference where he announced that he would open the floodgates on offshore oil drilling. And I was wondering how he’d out-do his green-screen follow up to the last Obama Big Speech. Ouch.
Finally saw this. Man that was Amazing. This has been a campaign for the ages.
There is something about Obama. This has been a campaign for the ages. First, he gives some of the most amazing speeches, but then Hillary, who made no impressive speeches in my mind while she was running, and while still lacking O’s charisma, actually gave the best speech of the Primary season, besting any one specific speach by Obama in my mind, when she made her concession speech while endorsing Obama.
Well and good, I thought. That was a great speech. But then, along comes Gore, and he bests that by a mile.
Man. Heck of a season.
I hope Obama can get Gore to do a few more of those, too. Lets at least have a repeat at the convention.
This is an historic time, I think.
