  Did you see the opening speeches of the Democratic Convention tonight? Major League Baseball would turn green with a cliche over this all-star lineup!
*Al Gore *Jimmy Carter *Hillary Clinton *Bill Clinton Not to mention the other speeches from less-known, but equally compelling personalities. Though the speakers varied in speakability, they all would have trounced Joe Lieberman's lackluster performance in 2000, which can't possibly be&nbsp;a bad thing. Watching Bill Clinton (who, along with Hillary, looked really healthy and vibrant) is, and always was, awesome.
Watching him speak tonight reminded me what a real president is supposed to sound like. Damn, that dude can engage an audience! Anyone who needs a reason to support Kerry and the Democrats needs to get themselves a feed of this speech and WATCH IT! Most importantly, I'm ecstatic that Bill Clinton is back as the&nbsp;elder statesman&nbsp;of the Democratic Party (though he's actually younger than both&nbsp;Carter and Kerry), because Gore's desire to distance himself from Clinton&nbsp;in 2000 really damaged the chances of a Gore presidency.
Suffice to say, Clinton brought down the damn house...he definitely brought down my house. I hope this momentum will continue! Best (approximate) Clinton line of the night: "Strength and wisdom are not mutually exclusive! " Just the WAY that he said it made you realize what a dumbass Bush really is. And just how much Clinton also thinks so. As for Hillary? Clinton-Clark 2012, baby!
