If you haven’t yet heard or read the speech linked above, please take 35 minutes of your time and listen to it. If you don’t have a 35-minute attention span, you can read the entire text of the remarks at Salon.com.

I took a speechwriting class in grad school, and beyond that I have a fair amount of practice and experience writing speeches. This one blows the very practice out of the water. It really is amazing and transformative; I really want this man to be my president.
