Did anyone catch Clinton's speech? Gore's speech?

I caught bits and pieces (and saw the re-air of Gore's speech on C-Span). They kept the Bush bashing to a minimum and systematically made their case for new leadership --- dubious Iraq war claims, failure to build/keep Int'l coalition, the economy, same points they've been making. Commentators seemed split on whether the night's "script" was to hype the base (usually the goal of most conventions) or play to the undecideds.
Night 2 may be interesting. Barack Obama, leading Illinois Senate candidate, and Theresa Heinz-Kerry are on the mike. By the way, I saw her dustup with the reporter and thought she was wrong for that. She'd had her say, walked away and then seemed like she had a Cedric-the-Entertainer moment: "I wish a mo-fo would...." and came back.
