For those that missed it last night - here are the words that Obama used to accept the Democratic Party nomination and outline his plan for the next four years. The speech itself was good but no where near as strong as the one Bill Clinton delivered the night before - though this was better than his 2008 acceptance speech.
What to watch for today is the release of the official unemployment numbers for August in the next few hours. Those numbers will be crucial to see what sort of polling bounce (if any) the Obama campaign gets out of their convention - the timing of their release ties both of these issue in completely.
Next major campaign activity: the debates.
The Obama campaign has released a teaser of sorts in advanced of his speech tonight (which is at 10:00 eastern time by the way).
President Barack Obama will lay out the presidential election as a stark choice in his speech to the Democratic National Convention.
"The path we offer may be harder, but it leads to a better place. And I'm asking you to choose that future. I'm asking you to rally around a set of goals for your country - goals in manufacturing, energy, education, national security, and the deficit; a real, achievable plan that will lead to new jobs, more opportunity, and rebuild this economy on a stronger foundation. That's what we can do in the next four years, and that's why I'm running for a second term as President of the United States."
