If he goes the distance, Barack Obama’s victory speech in Iowa may ultimately be the more historic. It’s gotten a lot of praise over the past few days and deservedly so. This line was particularly nice: “Years from now, you’ll look back and you’ll say that this was the moment, this was the place where America remembered what it means to hope.”
But In my opinion, John Edward’s second-place speech soared. He hit all the right notes. He nearly Kennedyesque in its passion and eloquence. I’m talking about Robert, not John.
His speech reminded me of this Bobby Kennedy quote: “Progress is a nice word. But change is its motivator. And change has its enemies.”
