++Trump first accused Obama of plagiarizing his speech. Yeah Right.
++Trump then said President Obama was talking about a world that didn't exist.
++I hope President Obama campaigns in Georgia. he played it safe last election but Democrats actually have a shot. Nothing like a nostalgia speech at Ebenezer Baptist Church where he did his walls of Jericho speech. I can't get enough of this guy speaking away from funerals and press conferences.
++Dana Millbank at the Post reminds us that the democrats are the feminist party now. This was pretty clear this week but I thought both Ezra Klein and Andrew Sullivan had nice observations about the woman dimension of how Hillary Clinton conducts her politics. They emphasized networking,coalitions and more listening than talking. Nancy Letorneau at Washington Monthly earlier in the week also described how woman in politics work. I find this all ironic because Jeane J. Kirkpatrick made her academic career on her book "Woman in American Politics" and she would feel comfortable calling the Republicans now The "Blame America First" party.
++Democrats I talked to today liked Joe Biden the best. They all voted for Hillary in 2008 and are less bedazzled by President Obama's oratory than I am. They thought Joe said it in a way the average American understands.
++Hillary has her work cut out for her. I worked for the Obama campaign in 2008. I knew he would win the nomination but I didn't think he would be "allowed" to win. In a strange way, this election is even more consequential. It would dramatically alter how we perceive political power.
++It is an enormous challenge but Hillary is lucky in a way because of her opponent.
