Barack Obama convention speech – NorthCoastBlog.com https://www.northcoastblog.com Thu, 28 Aug 2008 04:02:36 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.3.8 Obama and Gore tomorrow night https://www.northcoastblog.com/2008/08/27/obama-and-gore-tomorrow-night/ Thu, 28 Aug 2008 04:02:36 +0000 https://www.northcoastblog.com/?p=629 The media is raising the question of whether the Democrats have been tough enough so far. Biden had some tough language, but his delivery could have been much better. Both Clintons were great and they also took good shots at McCain, but they were focused more on unifying the party than ripping McCain.

I suspect Al Gore will be the guy to rip McCain to shreds tomorrow night. Gore has nothing but contempt for the current administration, and he will gladly link McCain to Bush’s failed presidency.

Obama needs to be tough as well. I have no doubt he’ll rise to the occasion given his history with speeches. He needs to show some passion, and he needs to draw very clear distinctions with McCain.
