He is good. In fact, Time claims that he dialed down his oratory in order to be less celebspeaker and more "down to earth." That is until the past couple of weeks where he has been going rockstar again.

In relistening, some of tonight's speech to find the part Jesse is referring to, I heard this line, which is beautiful:

"put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more to the hope of a better day. It's been a long time coming."

Prop 8 is leading with 55%. Boo.

This! So very much, this!

Prop 8 is leading with 55%.

Why does Jessie Jackson look less thrilled than Sarah Palin tonight?

Why does Jessie Jackson look less thrilled than Sarah Palin tonight?

I think he's stunned, Matt-- the earlier pictures of him weeping, seemed pretty unrestrained with joy. Say what you will of the guy, he's been in the trenches a lonnnnnng time.

He probably wasn't sure this day would ever come.
