There were so many magic moments in Denver this week, but here, in no particular order, are just a few of our favorites.
- Ted Kennedy looking and sounding just the same as always — despite chemotherapy and (oh, my gosh) kidney stones.
- Bill Clinton trying to shush an adoring, cheering crowd with "I love this, but we have important work to do tonight."
- Hillary's "No way, no how, no McCain."
- Jimmy Carter's thoughtful interview with Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews, in which he dismissed the media's obsession with a Clinton-Obama divide. "I think I know something about divided parties," the former President said. This wasn't one of them.
- Joe Biden's surprise appearance at Invesco Field to warm up the crowd for a decidedly extraordinary group of "ordinary" voters, who testified why they were supporting Barack Obama.
- "Ordinary" voter and lifelong Republican Barney Smith saying America needed someone who would do more for him than for Smith Barney — and the delegates breaking into a "Barney, Barney" chant. Send that man on the road as a campaign surrogate!
- Pat "Blues Brothers" Buchanan sporting cool sunglasses as the MSNBC panel of experts danced to Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered."
- Somebody looking an awful lot like veteran CBS newsman Bob Schieffer dancing to "Signed, Sealed, Delivered," too.
- The cable news blowhards being proven wrong on everything — from Michelle to Hillary to Bill to the choice of Invesco Field.
- The awe-inspiring sight of 85,000 people cheering the speech of the Democratic nominee.
- Senator McCain's apparent inability to fill 10,000 seats at his V.P. rally in Dayton this morning.
