1. Night of New Hampshire

[LSK]

3. no more options

Couldn't leave out any of the above. A testament to what a great speaker he is.

[No Passaran]

2. Denver

Because it was such a huge moment up to that point. If I had to choose my second favorite, it would have to be South Carolina. I was a Hillary supporter until that speech. He won me over that night.

4. In terms of significance..

2004 Keynote Address launched him into national stardom. New Hampshire inspired a song. The race speech was a landmark. Denver and Grant Park are obviously historically significant.

5. The Speech on Race is known as: "A More Perfect Union" (are u able to add that to the title?)

great speech.

[silverojo]

6. Clinching the nomination

The ultimate in hope and emotion.

7. What a joy to have a president where you have to ask this question!

Some day, maybe soon, there will be CD compilations of his speeches that we will buy.

Now, just for laughs, imagine a similar exercise for W. The only way it could be done would be his worst moments. Of course, no one could listen to it all the way through, so all we'd do is have a poll.

8. Spech on Race was amazing.

Best speech in decades by anyone

[LSK]

9. kick

10. Is one of those the Jefferson Jackson dinner in Des Moines?

That was damn amazing.

11. Other: "Yes We Can" in New Hampshire

[elkston]

12. Denver with Victory Speech as runner up.

Denver had the best lines:

"Its time for then to OWN their failure"
"You make a big election about small things"
"We cannot look back. We must not walk alone."
"...he won't even follow him to the cave where he lives!"

13. I had a really tough time choosing between race, Denver, and victory speech

but I had to go with the victory speech at Grant Park not only because it was so perfectly conceived and delivered but due as well to the massive force of historical inertia swelling behind it.

14. Thanks for the chronological order!

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

15. I cannot choose - he just keeps getting better and better

I am now expecting nothing less than the most magnificent Inaugural Address in history.

[leeno]

16. New Hampshire primary was by far the best IMO
