Who was the best political speaker you've ever had the chance to hear speak live

Edited on Fri Jun-10-11 11:21 AM by LynneSin

I'm sure we've all seen dozens of political speakers - what was your most memorable one you've had the luck of seeing in person.

For me, it would be Thurgood Marshall back in 1992. He had just retired from the Supreme Court and it was a year before his death. Each year, Philadelphia hosts some major celebration for 4th of July since the holiday originated in that city. One of the things they do each year is present the "Liberty Freedom Award" to some notable person in the world and in 1992 it was Thurgood Marshall.

I had the chance to be in Philly that day and got to hear him speak. What an amazing speaker and great presence!

I would have to say my 2nd favorite is Joe Biden because that guy knows how to speak and is always entertaining.

53. Ditto on Jackson

Saw him at Stanford University in 1988.

Heard Franken a great deal later (2003), and he was wonderful. But that was for a book tour, so he wasn't really in statesman mode yet.

58. Jesse Jackson 1986 The Great Peace March

A group of people walked across the USA to promote Nuclear Disarmament. There was a huge rally to greet them when they arrived in DC. Thousands turned out to "walk the last mile" with them. I'll always remember hearing Holly Near sing and Jesse Jackson speak. That was a great day.

4. I like to listen to Joe Biden. In fact, I passed up a chance to listen to Bill Clinton

just so I could attend Joe's speech. Bill was campaigning for Hillary a few blocks away.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy listening to both, but Bill was in one of his owly "Hillary's being picked on" moods and lost the toss because of it.

I saw him when he marched on the capital in Frankfort, KY back when I was at the University of Louisville in the mid 60s. Joan Baez and Peter Paul and Mary preformed too.

6. Believe it or not, Michelle Obama - second:Bruce Braley

We saw Michelle in the summer of 2007 on a hot day. I was fully expecting a somewhat fawning spouse speech.
She started off slowly, but about 5 minutes into it, she got on a roll that was unbelievable. She was talking about ideals and what I call 'kitchen table economics.'
When she was done, we (@100) gave her a standing O. One local leader told her 'the wrong Obama is running.'

Braley - well he is just very passionate and articulate.

30. I've seen Obama twice now and Michelle once

Obama and Michelle both spoke in Delaware during the primaries. Our state tends to get overlooked since we're so small but the Obamas made the stop early in the primary season and Rodney Square was packed to the gills with folks wanting to see him speak (Rodney Square is the downtown park here in Wilmington.

The 2nd time was the train trip he and Joe took as they headed down to the inauguration. They made the stop in Wilmington where they picked up Joe and Jill Biden, since Wilmington is the Biden's hometown.

I should also mention that Senator Chris Coons is an amazing speaker too. He'll always make fun of his height but he speaks well (Coons is only 5'4"). Carper is a boring speaker but nice guy.

Was any better than the others?

Bill Clinton can ad-lib for hours with no que-cards. For that, I would place Bill at the top of speaking.

14. I'll check out your youtube in a moment. When I saw Wellstone

Edited on Fri Jun-10-11 11:40 AM by Lifelong Protester

it was at the Minnesota State Fair, and he was 'only' introducing Al Gore, who BTW, gave a great speech that day too. Wellstone, however, always a tough act to follow. I will NEVER believe that plane crash was an accident. I did at the time, but now I think we all know too much, and that was no accident.

OH, OH, and I forgot to add, he quoted my letter against NCLB on the floor of the senate, January 8th (my husband's birthday)2002 ( I think that is the correct year, the date I never forget; it was when NCLB was first being considered).

15. I don't know which one was best, but

it's a tossup between Howard Dean and Keith Ellison with an honorable mention for Deng.

I've seen the following:
Bill Clinton
Hillary Clinton
Michelle Obama
Howard Dean
Mark Dayton
Al Franken
Keith Ellison
Deng Xiaoping (didn't actually "see" him, he was too far away on the Gate of Heavenly Peace)
Russ Feingold (he just spoke at my niece's graduation)

Went to a town hall meeting where he spoke. Also saw him give several campaign speeches. During the beard years after Bush stole the election, I saw him speak to a small crowd briefly. He is nothing like the media has portrayed him to be.

saw him speak at campaign rallies in 2006 and 2010. Both times, he was excellent.

Howard Dean and Al Sharpton were also pretty awesome speakers.

32. Only time I saw Ted live was when he campaigned in 2000 for Ron Klink in PA

Klink somehow lucked out and won the PA Primary for US Senate. He was an awful candidate with absolutely no money but got the win because Philly had 2 strong candidates running and those 2 split the vote.

Klink did little campaigning in Philly thinking he could win the senate and ignore the largest metro region. Sure the city would overwhelmingly go democrat but you need a strong turnout in the suburbs to win the state - Klink did not get that. (the 4 philly suburb counties are notorious for splitting the vote.)

Kennedy made a last ditch effort for Klink, it was a bad speech and the only way he remembered Klink's name was referring to the notecard he was holding in his hand.

But I couldn't really blame Kennedy - you can't be inspired when you have a shitty candidate on the bill.

29. Jesse Jackson - I Am Somebody

Jesse Jackson was the speaker at our local NAACP annual dinner back in 78 or 79. In that era he was best known for his "I Am Somebody" campaign. He was awesome. He believed in his message and so did I. I've heard him many times since and he is always great, but that first time was incredible. Second place goes to William Kunstler the lawyer I'd want if I needed a lawyer. He is gone now but not forgotten.

Bobby Kennedy in 1968, right after his surprise showing in the Oregon primary before he headed down to California. More recently, Georgia Representative John Lewis, in 2008. If you can't get excited about the United States listening to Rep. Lewis, check your pulse because you may be dead.

43. Oh how I wish I had seen her speak

I was VERY young, but I've been addicted to news since I could walk, and I remember seeing her during the Watergate hearings and in the aftermath. I was amazed by her: where did that voice come from? Why did everything she say sound so intelligent and profound?

Years later, I know. It's because she was intelligent and often profound.

38. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I heard him while standing in a crowd in Montgomery, AL in 1965, after the second march across the bridge. As a 19-year-old California small town college dropout, it was the most influential thing that had happened in my life. I had driven there specifically to take part in the civil rights activities in Selma at the time. My eyes were truly opened that day.

49. Least Impressive who was someone I admired would be split between

Ted Kennedy (See above with the Ron Klink campaign stump) and Tom Carper (just in general). Carper tries to be a good speaker but he comes across either and pandering or plain out boring. Chris Coons is a great speaker because he knows people don't see him as a leader because of his shortness - but he's a natural.

Edited on Fri Jun-10-11 01:53 PM by ecstatic

I didn't take the chance because, number one, I was way too lazy and didn't feel like driving to midtown and finding a place to park. I told some friends about it--they went and I didn't. At the time, Obama was kind of new to me and I didn't think he had a shot in hell of winning the presidency. Biggest.mistake.ever. I'll probably never have that opportunity again--unless somehow Georgia is in play for 2012. But even then, the tickets are gone before I even find out about these things.

Harriet Island Labor Day Picnic
shortly before his death in 2002

The St. Paul Labor Day celebration brought thousands out to a picnic on Harriet Island to hear the �Rolling Thunder Down Home Democracy Tour,� organized by popular rabble rouser Jim Hightower. It was a festive occasion aimed at uniting labor, community, environmental and peace activists.

Cornel West blasted the Bush administration�s drive for a war against Iraq. Barbara Ehrenreich worked in St Paul/Minneapolis at Wal-Mart researching her book, Nickel and Dimed: Or (Not) Getting By in America. She blasted corporate greed and pointed out that most people in America work very hard and still can�t make it.

Pro-working families� Senator Paul Wellstone (D-Minn.) also addressed the crowd. Wellstone faces a tough re-election campaign against GOP candidate Norm Coleman, hand-picked by the Bush Administration, and Green Party candidate Ed McGaa.
