I watched the live stream but found things I missed when I read the transcript. I thought it was a very good campaign launch speech.

At 45 minutes, it was longer than I expected, for sure. That didn't seem to bother the audience, though, I noticed. People hung around while Clinton shook hands and met some of the crowd.

I was disappointed in the quality of the stream (I tried both CSPAN and the Hillary website/YouTube)... pretty horrible for this day and age. Perhaps it was something on my end.

That often happens, though. Bandwidth issues, perhaps, and maybe even from my ISP. I don't know. It was good enough, though.

It's a different experience than watching the actual speech. You miss the audience reaction. But, I read things I somehow missed during the event.

This one collects data about how many people watched a speech. I suppose the alerter was concerned about the exposure of screen names and how they voted. I certainly don't care about that. Of what use is a list of anonymous screen names to me?

Good jury decision. DU has polls. This poll is a no-brainer. It's interesting to see the numbers.
