Obama's acceptance speech

I give it 9 out of 10, he might have scored a 10 if they were indoors instead of in a massive stadium. He was a little distracted at times. I got itchy during the section where he promised things he can't actually deliver, felt relieved during the section where he offered a tax cut that he can't actually deliver, and enormously warm during the final third.

others-
I'd rate B. Clinton's speech a 10 - Long time since seeing his full skills, almost thought he lost them. Watching it reminds us: he sure didn't uncork one like this for his wife.

H. Clinton's speech a 5 - Almost said what she needed to be said, almost escaped her artificial persona.

M. Obama's speech an 8 - a future IL Senate candidate I predict, and

The kids - 11 out of 10 when they would appear, totally cute, innocent to everything except the spectacle, and grinning a huge natural grin like papa. The family is simply gorgeous, one can hardly help but fall in love with them.

Gorgeous family.
