[CitizenM]

People are finally clapping.

I imagine if they were clapping all the time they would have sore hands and be pretty exhausted. I am glad for the little lulls, gives the important things more impact.

[KosmicKitty]

If I had a daughter - this is the speech I would want her to give.

[BelleAl]

Amen!

[Girlene]

self esteem comes from achievment not from false praise. (I’m hearing some woohoohoos in the audience.)

[stars & stripes forever]

CONDI: Education Secretary - for the children!

[rodguy911]

She has saved the second night,phenomenal.

[onyx]

“Kids trapped in failed government schools - this is the civil rights issue of our day.”

[P.O.E.]

Condi still rocks my boat. Waiting with bated breath for Ryan.

[tapatio]

BTW, ABC News sole network to NOT SHOW Rice’s speech.

Total disrespect!

[publana]

I am in shock that by far the best speech has been from Condi.

[bigbob]

She is a true rockstar, but a rockstar who is also has a 4.0 GPA and a genius-level IQ.

And I’ll say it: She is Presidential. With a capital P.

[thesearethetimes...]

Amen. Amazing woman. Hope RomneyRYAN puts her to work.

[KosmicKitty]

America making the impossible seem expectable

[GlockThe Vote]

Condi has been great.

she really is presenting well.

[mylife]

Wait for Martinez and Ryan.

[Clint N. Suhks]

CONDI: Education Secretary - for the children!

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

“overcome” slavery!

so much for the Plantation....here she goes!!!!!

[Miss Didi]

Condi’s got me in tears now!

[rodguy911]

I’ll tell ya what there are staggering differences between Condi and Hillary,night and day.!!

[MaxMax]

Boy, I sure hope condi doesn't make this a political speech at the Republican convention.
God forbid she mentions OBAMA at least once.

Sorry people, I'm not fluttering over this speech.
