That Speech By Ted Kennedy (Dorf on Law)

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 04:01:00 GMT

No, I don't have in mind the moving speech Senator Kennedy gave a few nights ago at the Democratic National Convention. I'm talking about the speech Kennedy gave over two decades ago, expressing his view that the Senate should reject President Reagan's nomination of Judge Robert Bork to the Supreme Court. In my latest FindLaw column , I explain that, as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary...

Obama's speech was exactly what it needed to be (South Texas Chisme)

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 13:24:00 GMT

Barack Obama started with acknowledgments to the Clintons and to Ted Kennedy. He began with his story and his principles that lead to his plans. The speech started low key and then built up to a rousing end. Good job!

Musical Update (The Corner)

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 22:34:30 GMT

Earlier in the convention, I mentioned "Still the One," a terrific song they always play for Ted Kennedy. A reader informs me, "'Still the One' was written by the lead guitarist of the group Orleans, John Hall. This is the same John Hall who sits in the House of Representatives as a Democrat from New York's 19th district." I'll be dipped.

I really am a great big quivering weapy old woolly Liberal Hector, I know. Last night, it was Kleenex time when I watched Ted Kennedy at the DNC. Tonight I've watched Bill Clinton at the same love-fest (click below). His speech had me enthralled. As usual, he combined a folksy way with words, with technical brilliance in dissecting the world's problems. If you want an example of his fantastic...

DNC Quick Thoughts (The Moderate Voice)

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 15:13:00 GMT

I’ve been away on business for the last few days, so it was hard to post anything about the Democratic National Convention. However, I have been watching some of the main speeches and wanted to share my thoughts: It was good to see Ted Kennedy on Monday night. The old, liberal lion looked frail, as can be expected from what he has gone through, but his spirit was strong. Michelle Obama had...

The Dems Bring It (dcat)

I had found the Democratic National Convention up to last night to be something of a desultory affair. Ted Kennedy and Michelle Obama were great the first night but the rest of the day seemed to lack much in terms of either buzz or substance. The second night was the same, though Hillary did what she needed to do. Any of her so-called supporters (there is growing speculation that a number of...
