Seriously, best speech by far from either convention. Obama's speech was good too for sure, but Clinton's was even better. And almost half of it was just said on the spot, too; over 2,000 of the 5,000 words weren't in the prewritten version. Clinton's good at that kind of thing, of course... Obama's great at prepared remarks, but really isn't very good at off-the-cuff speaking like that. Different skills.
