Cuomo's talk was phenomenal! I recorded it - can anyone host it?

[Rabrrrrrr]

Wow - all you people who said he was an incredible were right! Sure was nice to listen to someone who's intelligent, has a point, can answer unprepared questions, and make cogent, interesting, and oratorically exciting points.

Not just good, but great! He started off with a 10 minute or so introduction on why he wrote the new book, and went all over the place - trashing Shrub's policies, talking about Lincoln, war in Iraq, the Civil War, his own history with Lincoln in his life...yada yada yada... and when he got to the answering questions part, every answer was a mini-speech, well-formed and intelligent and wonderfully compassionate and liberal and sensible and hopeful.

Damn!

My recording has a low volume level, so if someone has the ability to punch up the recording level and then host it on a server somewhere, I"m happy to make it available to the DU and world community.

Send me a note - or say so in this thread - and I'll give you a link to pull it down and work on it. It's about 61MB in .wav format, or if you can convert from a .sc4 format, you can do a 17M file.

I'd host it myself, but that's too much meg to have multiple people pulling it down.

Damn, I wish I had heard him speak before. How incredible.

I bet he can do it.

3. Cool... You chose correctly :)

And I for one would LOVE to hear the recording. Let us know if someone can put it up for you. :)

4. You made the right choice

I went to the Brock thing, and it was definitely worthwhile but he wasn't particularly exciting. I can't wait to see Cuomo later this month.

and here's a version that's been edited (quick & dirty) for better sound levels, and then recrunched smaller for quicker download.

8. He gave an incredible speech . . .

at one of the Democratic conventions years ago -- '84, I think.
