Two Class Acts: Speeches for the Ages

Published by Melissa Luck at 8:42 am under Beyond the Headlines

I was a little busy in the newsroom last night, so I didn’t get to see the McCain or Obama speeches in their entirity. Fortunately, the cable news networks replayed them a couple times late last night. Regardless of how you voted, I don’t think you can deny one thing: both candidates delivered gracious and eloquent speeches last night. I wanted to post the text of both, so you can read for yourself. I think Obama’s speech, particularly, will be one we talk about for decades to come. We’re so fortunate we had two class acts running for office this year. THAT is what I believe is truly historic.
