Source citations for Clinton's speech
I'm using the Big Dawg's speech as a framework for training local Democrats in advocating effectively on some of the issues we face this year. While I don't agree enthusiastically with all of his agenda from years gone by, that speech was a humdinger, and seriously quotable. It would be helpful (in some cases critical) to have impeccable sourcing for the facts he quotes. I'm working on an annotated version of the speech but all I have is the prepared text and, lord knows, that misses some of the best stuff.
1) Does anyone have a source for a well-edited transcript of the speech? One with the nouns and verbs agreeing and the sentences coming to coherent ends. That is in NO WAY a criticism of the speech! Just a recognition that impassioned rhetoric doesn't always scan well when read verbatim.
2) Are there any references of the type I'm working on already floating around? I'd rather not reinvent any wheels.
3) Please post your favorite points from the speech with what you consider the best citation(s) to back them up.
If I can get this tied up in a sufficiently neat package I'll post it somewhere for general availability.
TIA
