Speeches from the DNC
If you haven’t had enough, here is the list of speeches I promised earlier this week. If you don’t know with which to start, I would recommend the speeches from Joe Biden, Dick Durbin, Martin Luther King III, John Lewis, Claire McCaskill, Ted Kennedy, Maya Soetoro-Ng and Mark Warner.
