'Rapturous response' to Obama speech

Marc Ambinder writes that Barack Obama's speech last night at a Democratic rally in Milford, New Hampshire drew a "rapturous response" from his supporters. More interesting is his take on the Clinton camp's reposnse to her speech.

Hillary Clinton spoke there too, and while her speech was well received, one of her advisers acknowledged to me that the campaign was not happy with the response of the activists who attended, at least a third of whom are probably firmly committed Clinton supporters. It is rare when a Clinton is booed at an event.


Ben Smith also has a good write up:

Richardson started with a strong premise: He wanted to talk about one thing: Iraq. Then my attention wandered, and when it wandered back he was talking about energy-efficient appliances, music, dance and sculpture.

And Obama's fans are loud and visible. A particular coup: "For safety concerns, before we can proceed please take your seats," the announcer tells them.
