Recap of the Second Day of the Democratic Convention
The highlight of the second day of the Democratic Convention was the nomination speech given by President Bill Clinton. Reactions to the speech have been mixed, with Wolf Blitzer of CNN calling it the best Clinton speech he's ever heard, while John King of CNN said it "could have used an editor." Personally, I tend to agree with King that it was a bit long and technical but still very folksy. I'm curious to get the take of those of you who watched it. Here's a brief excerpt from the speech, followed by the obligatory poll.
