Let's see how he does. Came across pretty good on the radio. That's really all I know of him.

1. No one's going to see him because C-Span is the only channel showing it.

3. This guy has been so impressive
and from the state of Montana. He'll be around a long time. He'd be a great Senator.

Baucus and Tester are the Senators, but he could easily take Baucus' place if he decides to retire.

I heard him once on the Ed Schultz show and instantly liked him. Our future Energy Czar.

19. I like him, he has a natural charm and folksy take.
I can't believe Montana elected him knowing Montana. They elected a jewel.

30. I've never seen him speak before
He's not the typical stiff, dry, and serious politician but he's very animated and personable. I like his fresh style.

50. He's entertaining enough to make MSM I hope....
Remember not all of America are seeing the floor speeches. That is the kind of speech we needed at this convention. Great lead in to Hillary it seems.

43. So.... are we looking at the future "star" of the Democratic Party here?
Would you rank this speech with Bill Clinton in 1988, or Barack Obama in 2004?
