Best speech I have ever heard, RFK jr at FightingBobFest.
Over 3,000 people and it was fantastic. Any one else there ? He was brilliant. Talked for 40 minutes with no notes.

If he had given the keynote speech at the Dem convenion we would be ahead by 25 points.

It was mostly about what this criminal administration has done to the environment but he touched on other things. He talked about when he was a child and went overseas with his dad, how we were so loved. There were many people crying. I know I was.

I have heard him on TV but he is so much better in person.

His Aunt Rosemary Kennedy was brought from St. Colletta's in Jefferson WI. She was in a wheel chair.

Tom Harkin spoke in the morning and he was very, very good also.

2. You Lucky! His book is incredible too, although heartbreaking.
They had a rerun of the Progressive Book Club on Booktv Cspan-2 today. He was one of the panelists, got a standing ovation.
