Another great list, E. I'm surprised that Guliani's speech at last year's convention wasn't listed. It was one the finest I have heard in the last few years. and certainly better than anything from Gerry Ferraro. And come to think of it, Bush's speech at Ground Zero was one of the most earnest addresses in the post-Reagan era.
Maybe they stuck to the 20th century.
