DNC recap

Sometimes, it's best to see what happened without the media and pundits telling you what to think. Sometimes, it's best to simply view the key speeches unfiltered, and judge for yourself. So here are the full speeches of the key speakers from the four nights.

Monday

Ted Kennedy & Michelle Obama



Tuesday

First, here's the moment when Hillary officially asked that Obama be declared our official nominee by acclimation.



Mark Warner & Hillary Clinton



Wednesday

Bill Clinton & John Kerry



Beau Biden & Joe Biden



Thursday

Al Gore & Barack Obama




But if you still needed any evidence that Obama hit a grand slam with that speech, just check out Pat Buchanan's reaction to his speech. This is Pat Buchanan we're talking about.



Too bad the AP decided to do a hit job on Obama's speech. Nice of them to write the story saying it wasn't that good... before Obama even finished his speech. Of course, they have a Ron Fournier problem. A guy who tried to get a JOB with the McCain campaign, and exchanged cozy e-mails with Karl Rove, should NOT be the AP's Washington bureau chief.
