Watching Bill after Hillary last night was interesting. Both gave good speeches. Both were well delivererd. Hers was better written as a coherent whole, his less so. But the guy's a natural, you could tell the difference between someone who has learned how to speak well, and someone who simply developed his enormous natural talent.

On the substance - I liked it, the comparison of Barack today, and himself in 1992 was, I think, particularly effective by reminding everyone that he also was accused of being too young and inexperienced. It was also interesting (and impressive) to see how he managed to seamlessly blend the self-serving with the Obama support by talking up his presidency, contrasting them with the godawfulness of the past seven and a half years, and presenting an Obama presidency as a return to the good years (that 'long nightmare of peace and prosperity' that The Onion famously declared to be over at the start of 2001).

Slick Willy was good.  Biden could've been better, although somehow I think his speech is going to go over well with the people we want him addressing, even if it wasn't a terribly pretty speech.
