First Dennis Kucinich gets an ovation in the late afternoon. Then Schweitzer gets the crowd into a call and response session. Finally Clinton wraps it all up in a fantastic speech, the only time I've ever been inspired by her words.
The only disappointment was it appears Mark Warner is a bit of a dud. Not awful speaker, clearly will make a great Senator, but just doesn't have that ability to connect to a national audience just yet. I think Schweitzer has clearly set himself up for a run at national office with his performance tonight.
Something else that's different from 2004? The Democrats have found their spine. Every speaker today took hits at McCain. One can only hope the American people were listening.
