I'll remember everything he has said, and will repeat it argument for argument for the next 3 months. He went over each important issue concretely, explained clearly what's at stake, what the Republicans intend to do (pulverize and destroy all social help to enable the rich and powerful to keep most of the country's goods and services for themselves), and what Obama has done so far that has been enormously helpful. He shows the Republicans lies and also how they have worked to stop all progress
To vote for Obama is to vote for a good future, education for all, health care for all, social cooperation, telling common sense truth.
I hope Clinton goes campaigning with Obama. Gore distanced himself from this man. If Clinton goes campaigning with him, there's a solid chance for Obama even if he's a black man (still his big liability). Clinton was teaching the group how to enable Obama to win. . Obama ought to persuade Clinton to go everywhere possible with this speech, faute de mieux, I've put it here and will post about it.

Me: Yes when he drops down into his native slang it feels right.
I should add that Obama does not have this kind of native slang. He was brought up aspiring middle class and due to the peculiar composition of race, ethnic, class politics of Hawaii and that he was so smart he ended up in an elite school.
Diane R: Clinton has the quality of sounding as if he is talking to you one on one.
Me: Both -- he goes back and forth and sometimes is like a teacher explaining. Obama is ever the lecturer or sermonizer from a lectern.
