Michelle
I thought she was just terrific: real, accessible, smart, eloquent. She pulled off the kick-off speech - a real risk, frankly - with impeccable style, grace and intelligence.
Couldn't agree more with Ben Smith:
Michelle could hardly have done better in the biggest speech of her career. She's been on the trail for more than a year, but still gives the impression of being a little realer than the seasoned pols.
Her voice was richly emotional from the start, and she battled tears at the end.
The speech may or may not reshape her image, but it's hard to imagine her having done better.
Between Michelle & the inspiring Teddy Kennedy, I'm feeling pretty damn good after day one.
Wow. Yes.
And here's the Teddy Kennedy tribute - wild photos of JFK, RFK & a handsome young Edward M. - in case you missed it:
