Dodd's Turn

we'd the cameras go? (0.00 / 0)

The video riser went from 30 cameras to 3 -- don't think Dodd's going to get much play.

Only catching bits and pieces (0.00 / 0)

Cause this is kinda becoming social hour, which is too bad.  It seems like a pretty good speech.  He's got the fire, he's ready to make changes.  The folks who are paying attention are digging it.  There just aren't enough paying attention.  Tough to imagine any traction here.

I feel sorry for Dodd (0.00 / 0)

this is really tough.  He's speaking well.  But we're all still analyzing Obama.  Nothing he can really do.  So hard to gain traction.  But I'll be interviewing him at 5 today.

great line (0.00 / 0)

"I remember a time when we ended wars, not start them. I remember when we condemned torture, not condone it."

He also got me when he said he joined the peace corps because the American president asked him to.

He's good and he's getting applause but there's no excitement here. As Lucas said, we're still coming down from Obama.

In a vacuum (0.00 / 0)

I think that would've been a great speech.  Better than Clinton (though she probably got what she wanted), not sure what was really missing except the right timing.  People liked what they heard, but I don't know if he really differentiated himself.  Part Clinton, part Obama, not better than either of them overall, at least to their respective supporters.
