The American presidential election (56)
I’m watching as much of the Democratic National Convention as I can on CNN. There were two massive highlights in Monday’s session.
First, Caroline Kennedy – daughter of JFK – introduced Senator Edward Kennedy, there was a video on the Senator, and then – in spite of his brain cancer – he made an emotional appearance and contributed an impassioned speech in support of Barack Obama.
Second, there was a video on Michelle Obama narrated by her mother before her older, even taller, brother introduced her. I thought that Michelle speech’s was outstanding – she really connected with people, made an utterly convincing case for her husband and spoke with immense confidence and fluency. But I know that many Americans will need more convincing that me.
You can see and hear her speech here and read it here.
