This is a man who knows how to give a speech

Joe Biden is a wizard at giving a political speech and he is demonstrating that ability right now addressing the Democratic National Convention.
Using everything from the quiet voice that forces everyone to listen more carefully to make sure they don't miss anything to the call and response with the audience saying John McCain stands for "no more change," Biden has been masterful.

Changing from that to "That's the change we need," as he tells what Barack Obama will do for the country, Biden has the audience eating out of the palm of his hand.

Of course, the national media, while moderating the Democratic presidential debates decided early that Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John Edwards were the only ones who deserved any attention, a slap in the face to candidates like Biden, Chris Dodd, and Bill Richardson.
