What I want to know is...who let Obama speak at the 2004 Convention?
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 01:23 PM by Stoic
Was it Kerry's people or was it Terry McAuliffe's people and if the latter, is he kicking himself now? After all, Obama was a mildly obscure state senator who made a rep with a fine speech (I was there). Would he be giving Hillary so much trouble (or even in the race) if he hadn't spoken at the convention?

3. CW says Kerry.
I've never seen anything authoritative.

However, at the Boston rally, Obama specifically mentioned that he owed Kerry a lot for that opportunity.

5. Kerry said several times he chose Obama to speak after he saw him in Chicago.
