Text of Mark Warner's speech - MarketWatch
FWIW, for all those who think I'm obsessed with Obama and that I'm indeed Joe Biden Jr., this speech hits more dead-on with what I believe and why I'm voting the way I am than any other I've heard recently (including Obama's).
Obama's my candidate, but Warner's speech hit the nail on the head.
"Because this election isn't about liberal vs. conservative. It's not about left vs. right. It's about the future vs. the past."
"You know, America has never been afraid of the future, and we shouldn't start now. If we choose the right path, every one of these challenges is also an opportunity."
"We'll start to solve global warming, and with the right policies, within 24 months, we'll be building 100 mile-per-gallon plug-in hybrid vehicles right here, with American technology and with American workers."
"if you can send a job to Bangalore, India, you sure as heck can send one to Danville, Virginia and Flint, Michigan and Scranton, Pennsylvania and Peoria, Illinois. In a global economy, you shouldn't have to leave your home town to find a world-class job."
"So you give every child the tools they need to succeed. That means quality schools, access to health care, safe neighborhoods. Not just because it's the right thing to do, of course it is; but because if those kids do better, we all do better. You can be soft-hearted or hard-headed-both are going to lead you to the same place. We're all in this together."
"it's not just the policy differences, it's the fact that this president never tapped into our greatest resource: the character and resolve of the American people. He never asked us to step up."
