She Is Getting Better and More Confortable, but I Would Hate...

...to have to follow Michelle Obama, Bernie Sanders, Bill Clinton, Joe Biden and Barack Obama. Even David Brooks rated the speeches as A+, A+. A+, A+...

If you were to judge Hillary's speech against Bush, Dubya, McCain or Romney, she more than holds her own.

The last night belongs to the nominee at the top of the ticket.

Always has.

And while I think Hillary is giving a great speech it worked out much better with no one dynamic coming before her.

She will never be Bill or Barack. It's not her thing. But I bet she'll get more done than either of them. She doesn't want to do this. She wants to govern, she wants to serve.

But I agree, I think she's doing great.
