I have to take back my criticism and would ask everybody to go watch this speech if you haven't already. He attacks the media game and everything that we've been complaining about for 3 years. His one 'holding the nose' comment, well I'm not sure what he meant by it but it is true that people 'think' that's what they're doing. It's also true that if Hillary wins, WE will be doing that ourselves. I think he offers the non-strategy strategy, the right tone, the right message, and even the right messenger. This is also a speech that can be given anywhere to anybody, and get support. He knocks down all the right wing objections to Democrats right at the gate, while also giving voice to Democrat frustration when these issues are distorted. It's just a really really good speech. Even though I still don't like that holding the nose comment all that much.
