The Greatest Political Speech of My Lifetime

Bill Clinton delivered it tonight. I may be an old cynical journalist, and also, as an editor, I have plenty of quibbles about how he should have shortened it, but Clinton's nominating speech for Obama tonight brought shivers to my bones.

This speech connected each of us, on a very personal level, with our heritage and our beliefs and our values. Replay it over and decide for yourself.

Barack Obama now has a huge act to follow tomorrow night. After the best nominating speech in history, he has to deliver the best acceptance speech in history.

If he can do that, his re-election is secure.
