After Hillary's winning performance Tuesday night, and a sigh of relief from Obama rank-and-file, all attention shifted to Wednesday night's appearance by Pres. Clinton. What...

Like most, if I'd been told yesterday that John Kerry would give a sharper speech than Bill Clinton, I would have assumed it was because Clinton tanked. The latter didn't (remotely) happen, but the former did, with Kerry giving by far the best speech I've ever seen from him. For those who (like me, tending to my son's first-week-of-kindergarten anxieties) didn't get to see the address in real time,...

Senator John Kerry took to the stage last night with a fiery speech accusing President Bush and John McCain of misleading the country. Kerry’s hard-hitting speech left no doubt that he would come out strong for Barack Obama and Joe Biden in this election. Kerry laid out what is at stake in this election: Our mission is to restore America's influence and position in the world. We must use all the weapons...

By David Roberts Being an "issue" journalist can be frustrating for a number of reasons (most of which I'll reserve for a future post). One is the persistent temptation to fall into trainspotting mode -- waiting around for politicians or pundits to mention your issue. "He said the words 'climate change'! He mentioned solar power!" This stuff (which I do plenty of) has some value, but it can give a...

Barack Obama is set to give his acceptance speech at 10pm EDT. You can read it here. I haven't a chance to go through it yet, it's about four pages long. I do think that the media blitz surrounding his...

Starring Bill Clinton and John Kerry I would think that these two went a long way last night toward erasing any bad taste left in the mouths of Democrats after their recent campaign performances. Both speeches were rhetorically masterful. More...

By Michael J.W. Stickings This is obviously a big night at the Democratic Convention -- both Gore and Obama are speaking -- but make sure, if you haven't already (or, if you have, do so again), to watch Kerry's speech from last night. Sandwiched between Bill and Joe, it didn't get much attention, but it's Kerry at his finest, the Kerry it should have been four years ago. He makes a compelling case...

Senator Hillary Clinton suspends the roll call vote. The old bill is back: President Clinton delivers a strong speech. Senator John Kerry mocks McCain. Senator Joe Biden tells his story and lays out the case for electing Barack Obama.

I have to admit that the actual nomination—at the convention—made me emotional. I didn’t expect that, but when it became a fact I was so proud, so happy, and even tearful. It’s been a long time a-coming. The US has come a long way since Martin Luther King led the civil rights movement and LBJ [...]

The first question I always think when I hear the words “John Kerry” is: how did he screw up now? Well, his speech at the convention the other night was great. I don’t think it has been covered that much by the media, but I think it should be given some credit.
