This is the best part of the convention and the best part of Obama — he’s a decent and good dad, and that’s a good thing.

After GOP all but ignored war in Afghanistan or vets from Iraq, we now have a military mom introducing Michelle Obama. thebea.st/TfVJXs

Reader writes: “Ann has 5 sons with no military service. Military mom who introduced Michelle has 5 sons either in service or headed there.”

Gays at home applauding equally loud for marriage equality and Michelle’s dress.

So, Michelle is the most talented politican on the democratic bench, right?

Pretty deft: A ferocious attack on Mitt Romney disguised as a heartwarming tale about Barack Obama.

Jesus. This speech has left the Romneys in smoldering ruins without once mentioning them.

Michelle’s speech, more than anything, is a direct repudiation of the entire Romney narrative.And she does it with such a wonderful smile.

Ann Romney’s speech was solid but overrated, and Michelle Obama’s significantly more impressive speech proves it.

Has there been much discussion of how MS is part of both Ann Romney’s and (via her father) Michelle’s story? #dnc2012

Thank god for Michelle Obama. She almost makes one forget the phoney, crass, foreigner-bashing that dominated the first half of the evening.

@sullydish Not *quite* flawless. “Mom-in-chief” was a mawkish, unnecessary low-point.

RT @gov The end @michelleobama‘s speech drove a higher Tweets-per-minute peak than @mittromney‘s at #GOP2012. 28,003 vs. 14,289 for the Gov.

Michelle is flipping over cars in the parking lot. She’s earned it. #DNC2012

When Fox News says you’re “masterful”, there’s no debate. #fierce

Actual first (and second!) @gretawire question about #dnc2012: Why no mention of “God”?

Doubt many people were listening after Michelle signed off, but benediction included prayer for Obama *and* for Romney.
— Amy Sullivan (@sullivanamy) September 5, 2012
Michelle’s speech a great example of how delivery matters. She did superbly. But the words are pretty humdrum, average. npr.org/2012/09/04/160…
