In one speech, he showed how much better he is at speeches, at explaining policy, at explaining issues than everyone else. That was an amazing speech he just gave and he was as polished and as eloquent as ever. Whoever wrote the speech did a fabulous job, too. It was amazing in content and eloquence. It’ll be nice to have a competent President again, assuming Obama wins.

I’ll post the video when I find it.

PS. I recommend watching the convention through the online streaming site. As I mentioned before, you get high quality without the pointless yammering from the talking heads on TV.

Update: TPM just posted the video of his speech. It’s almost as good as Obama’s 2004 keynote:

Also, John Kerry’s speech was amazing, too. As I mentioned in another post, it was a real disservice that they didn’t carry this speech on most of the networks. TPM just posted the video of his speech, as well. Watch it, it’s also amazing:

I wish this John Kerry had show up during the entire 2004 campaign.

Update 2: TPM is reporting that Kerry wrote the speech himself.

Odd thought: every criticism about waffling, making stuff up, and shifting with the winds when it’s politically convenient that one has ever heard about Clinton, Gore, or Kerry is absolutely true about McCain, Romney, and Rudy. Seriously, do these guys actually believe anything aside from their own infallibility? McCain has flipped on so many issues it’s hard to keep track. Romney has made up some incredible silliness in the last few months (this latest thing is just the most obvious). Giuliani is probably the straightest shooter of them all, but talk about shady business dealings… anyone want to ask him about Bernard Kerik on the campaign trail? Or speculate how that reflects on his judgment?

Anyway, I doubt you’ll hear anyone aside from Jon Stewart ask any of these candidates the hard questions. The media seems uninterested unless a haircut is involved.
