Last night Michelle Obama inspired us by talking from the heart about the best American values: integrity, compassion, striving, and love of family. For the Obamas, these aren't empty words; they are how they live their lives

Andrew Sullivan:

Stunning, brilliant, moving, passionate and right. Flawless. That was a speech a presidential nominee would be proud to have given. The best speech of the conventions so far. There was an emotional arc and steel to this that was as suffused with patriotism as it was with love. Yes, I'm gushing. But gushing is what I feel. And this is live-blogging. So sue me. I've never heard a speech from a First Lady anywhere close to this.
