2. Maybe Barack can top it
;)

But yes, she was amazing. Michelle really connected with voters tonight. She hit it out of the park.

3. Oh, of course Barack can top it.
He will too. However, I was mentioning other people. :-)

5. lol. I know.
I was kidding.

Considering many of the others who spoke tonight are professional speakers being politicians, Michelle really did amazingly well. I bet a lot of voters warmed up to her and the Obama family tonight.

4. She did a fantastic job. Having the kids out at the end and talking
to Barack really topped it off. I watched it on demconvention.com and it was so nice to see it without interruptions by news casters and commercials! Very enjoyable evening.

6. Wow... I mean, I had heard that she was good, but...
She was SPECTACULAR.

I mean, with all the professional public speakers we're going to see over the next couple of days, I'll be stunned if any of them as effortlessly connect with their audience the way she did. Utterly authentic.

The whole bit about seeing the world "how it should be" rather than "how it is" is a really great way of presenting the fundamental Obama/Change message. A change in how we see the world. Brilliant.

I tell you what, if there are still blue collar whites out there that insist Michelle and Barack aren't "real" Americans after watching that, I'm damn well prepared to just assume they are racist.

For pure impact I'm not sure this performance will be equaled by anyone except the nominee himself, and even he better bring his A game.

13. What an amazing woman!
Not being a professional speaker, I didn't know what to expect. She definitely hit that out of the park and into a low earth orbit. I pity the others that have to follow her. Her husband better bring it.

Barack just sent an e-mail with his video embedded.

16. That was so great!
I loved the shots of Biden's reactions, too, and his being apparently the first to stand up!
