The fact that she can keep coming back with such grace and power floors me. She has the ability to move past previous wrongs - in this case I'm referring to the petulant element that marred her own nominating convention with their antics - that I find extraordinary.

Not that I necessarily believe in narrowing things down to one "favorite". There were plenty of great moments. The one that surprised me the most was Steve Kerr. It was gutsy and it was also a good speech.

But Rev. Warnock did make me want to go to any church where he's doing the preaching. Wow.

So good to see HRC! And she did a fantastic job.

Sweet, wonderful Joe. I want one of those signs.

And still--so many.

That little girl that introduced Jill Biden (and Jill, herself).. I'm sure I'm leaving some out, but it was a very good night and even some of the less "exuberant" speakers touched me with their sincerity (Senator Coons).

For me, a photo finish amongst Steve Kerr, Senator Warnock, Representatives AOC and Raskin, and, of course Should-Have-Been President HRC.
