"I think someone may have put some Obama-koolaid into my water here. I thought it was great."

Brit Hume: "It is clear from the response you are seeing that this audience clearly feels that this is the man and this speech has met the challenge of this venue and this speech was all that he wanted it to be."

Keith Olbermann: "Vote for him or do not, but take pride that this nation can produce men and speakers such as that. For 42 minutes not a sour note and spell binding throughout, in a way usually reserved for the creations of fiction."

Chris Wallace: "I thought it was an exceedingly smart speech in which Barack Obama played both offense and defense very effectively."

Campbell Brown: "What you heard was very down there, plain spoken, no BS, if you will."

Chris Matthews: "It was a great way of throwing back the best shot and saying is full of crap. I've been criticized for saying he inspires me...To hell with my critics."

But 99% of the time I still hate most of them. :P

Catch Pat Buchanan's response, he couldn't say enough good things they had to cut him off to go to break, he was still gushing.

He said it was the "greatest convention speech and probably the most important" he has ever heard.

Momentum shift in the press rooms--!

Rec.

David Brooks didn't think it was very good (note: the other PBS panelist looked at him like he was crazy and jumped all over him for the comment) and Cornell West and his fellow guest on Tavis Smiley didn't think it was black enough (and West was angry that Obama didn't mention Dr. King by name).

Glad to see your list from the MSM. I didn't mind being cable-deprived this week until tonight - the PBS feed got me a better convention than if I had to listen to all those talking heads.
