It's 11 EDT and his speech is still rambling on. He seems very off and not in rhythm at all. Are the continued "USA" chants to cover up other protesters? Even the "stand up and fight" refrain over the cheers of the crowd seems forced and low energy. He looks so old and sad tonight. Can you imagine how this speech would look side by side with Obama's acceptance? And how they are going to look side by side on the debate stage? The choice is so clear now - tired, old, politics that are still trapped in Vietnam or a passionate, dynamic wave of change that is personified in Obama, but represented in the now hundreds of thousands who have seen him speak on the campaign trail.
