As I said in another LJ...

This must be what the 1960 presidential campaign felt like.

I've never seen a speech like it. It had Rachel Maddow and Pat Buchanan, people who couldn't be more different politically from each other if they tried, picking their jaws up off the ground and agreeing, "BEST SPEECH EVAH!" I still have goosebumps.

If you watch the speech and still vote for McCain in November, there's absolutely no hope for you.

I especially appreciated the part where he insisted that the election was too important to stoop to character attacks instead of focusing on the actual issues.

It didn't make my eyes well up like his speech at the '04 convention, or his speech on race, but it did still touch me deeply, and it made me proud to be a supporter of his.

Incidentally, in the 20 years I've been voting, this is the first time I have ever contributed to a campaign. (Not sure why I didn't in 2000...maybe GWB is my fault!!)
