Credit to Tae for originally posting this on his blog. After reading it and thinking about it for a day and a half, I decided I’d like my readers to see this, too. Sorry to the readers who overlap our two blogs. (Presumably that’s just Nicky and Aaron, but maybe others, too?)
Theodore C. Sorensen was one of John F. Kennedy’s most respected speech writers. The Washington Monthly asked him to compose a speech he would like to hear the Democratic nominee for President to make as his or her acceptance speech, without regard to who the winner might be.
The elloquent and inspiring results are here. Note that it seems to take a minute or two for the page to fully load.

Wow! Just read the “speech”. Sure would be nice to see that kind of change in the American Presidency. One can only dream, I’m afraid.
Thanks for stopping by my page, and also for posting this speech. Reading Sorensen’s speech is a distinct reminder of how far we’ve moved away from any and all constructive dialogue between the two American political parties. On an international level, the promise to sign the Kyoto Protocol and the pledge of full support to the United Nations should be essential to every Democrat’s campaign.
Quite an inspiring article! What a nice wish!
