I agree the speech was vetted. Whether it undid the harm caused by Wright is another matter entirely. Obama had a tightrope to walk--he needs all the votes he can get, because the race with Hillary is a close one. She's gonna take Pennsylvania, no doubt. But the polls are up and down for both of them. I wish I could see what the Friday polls(assuming there are polls by Friday)--tell us, other than some company tool a poll. If it doesn't look good for him then, it really doesn't look good at all.

GG, if you had to pick ONE speech by an American, which would it be? (I am sincere in this request.) I've always been partial to the Gettysburg Address because of its brevity and intrinsic 'passion'. However, King's "I Have a Dream" is moving and imo a fine example of rhetoric meant to MOVE people.
