Rate Obama's Speech: Was The One's Speech a ten or a one?

A-. Great delivery, decent outlining of policies, and he really drove home the themes & message of his campaign. I'd give him more but I had to subtract for at least some of the content like banning insurance companies from 'discriminating' (re: turning a profit).

Frank Luntz (Republican pollster pro) said the speech was great and predicted a 10 point lead 72 hours from now.  Not saying that means anything, but it's interesting.

That's less than what McCain's people were anticipating. Probably accurate though, voters really are that impressionable.

It was far superior to his 2004 speech, by the way. The only speech of his that I think can really hang with it was the one after Iowa.

Frankly I thought this was better than that. His primary speeches were all a little generic and didn't have much red meat. This one for the most part did actually specify what he was going to do (even if he's too smart into buy half of it).
