Was his speech *that* good?
Genuinely curious, I am not able to watch today (of all days)
It was quite good. Biden doesn't have a reputation as an orator like Obama, so I wasn't expecting much. Going in, I expected something average that safely hit the bases but didn't do much else. I was worried he'd stumble on his delivery in a way that would have the MSM repeating the Trump campaign's "senile Biden" lies. It was better than I expected. Real emotion, a hopeful but plausible vision for America's future, and a passionate appeal, along with a lot of effective little bits. Easily on par with many of Obama's better speeches. Biden may not have quite knocked it out of the ballpark, but I think it's fair to call it a home run.
