    Why Obama deserves the nod

    because unlike HRC, Kerry, and Gore, Obama has "had a voice" from day one. It took humiliating defeats for the the other three to act, look and speak like a president. Gone was the harsh tone of her voice and robotic delivery we all heard during the primaries (although she still needs work on cadence).

    Kudos to HRC for a great speech, but maybe, just maybe, if she was a more effective manager of her own campaign and message, she would be the one speaking Thursday night instead of Obama.
