If y'all can make Obama's speech tonight into Neil Kinnock's Sheffield moment, then this race could very well be turned on it's head.
How could we do that?
I think that BHO generally chooses his own words.
Have we been misquoteing him?
No. You're thinking of Biden's plagiarism of Kinnock.
Sheffield was where Kinnock threw a very un-British American-style rally while he was ahead in the polls. The people of the UK disliked it because 1) it was a huge rally with a lot of technology modeled after American political conventions, 2) Kinnock and Labour seemed to basically be celebrating their victory, and 3) it was flashy, foreign, and just not done.
I don't recall a presidential candidate addressing the nation like this, do you?
