Democratic National Convention
Barack Obama once again proved that he can deliver a breathtaking speech at an absolutely pivotal moment, says Mark Halperin
Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore reacts to the crowd on the final day of the 2008 Democratic National Convention on Aug. 28
Exhibited every one of the public speaking skills he has honed since he went from being a politician to a super-activist. Relaxed, funny, and totally aware of how to work the stadium crowd, he found a very solid balance between building up Obama and running down Bush-McCain. Stuck to big issues and big themes, making his speech seem not just engaging but important. Reaffirmed his status as a leader who unites the Democratic Party: Bill Clinton's level of experience without the controversy.
