I don't like him either. But he's possibly the best public speaker I've ever seen.

Man, he was awesome. You can't deny the man is an incredible speaker, and he really just electrified the evening. The line about strength and wisdom not being opposing values was a prize zinger.
Unfortunately, Kerry will be hard pressed to top that speech.
You know that the Dems will have the best of the best of the best writing and prepping and making sure Kerry's speech is incredible.

They can't give the man charisma.
But they can give him speed.

The one problem with Clinton's speech, to parrot David Brooks , is that it was too unwieldy. It was nowhere near as tight as Gore's speech.

I was watching MSNBC and they were talking about Clinton learned from the master of the modern political speech, Ronald Reagan, and used those lessons to become an amazing speaker and Hillary would would benefit from doing the same thing.... ie, Hillary was no where NEAR the speaker Bill was tonight.
Clinton is the best American political speaker in the game today. Hopefully Kerry doesn't get overshadowed.

Carter I thought was great, but I made allowances for his age. With all the good he's done in the cause of human rights and his Nobel Prize, he has a quiet southern gravitas which is very appealing.
I don't know if you saw Kerry's ex-shipmate; he gave a fiery and very religious endorsement of Kerry which I really liked.
And Clinton was simply godzilla while everyone else was thousands of screaming Japanese.

Actually having Hillary introduce Bill was a very smart move. And that she actually looked (even if she might have been faking it) sincere about it.
It was a horrible mistake when Hillary entered the 9/11 memorial service by herself and then joined her husband at her seat. It just looked crass and was a dumb time for trying to make either one or both of the following points:
1) I am my own woman who stands on her own political feet and is not bootstrapped to my husband
2) I am pissed at Bill for hitting it in the Oval Office
