Two things - Beschloss on PBS thought it was better than Kennedy's speech.
And....for all of us here a reminder. The MSM is shaking in their boots because their owners/advertisers want people to keep tuning in. They MUST portray this as a horserace - but don't fool yourself. Obama will win and it will not be all that close.

1. I saw that. David Brooks tried to act "underwhelmed" but that other guy on
the historian panel smacked that down. It was a great night on PBS for me! :D

3. Polls don't predict turnout really
And with the new registered voters and how Dem primaries were way more energized than the Repub ones this year and then this speech. Lights out. Plus McCain has to look forward to getting smashed in debates and seeing Biden crush his VP in a debate too.

4. I don't think the MSM wants a close race because of
ratings; I think the owners want a Repub in the White House because the Repubs enable them to become monopolies.
