Default National Review:Michelle Obama's speech was quite effective

Quote:
How She Did It [Rich Lowry]


Michelle Obama's speech was quite effective. Here were the five keys to its successes:

1) Make Barack One of Us. She gave us an affecting portrait of her own family, like so many families in America, and then said of Barack, “even though he had this funny name, even though he'd grown up all the way across the continent in Hawaii, his family was so much like mine.”

2) Emphasize the Working Class. Michelle's parents were working class, as she was “raised on the South Side of Chicago by a father who was a blue collar city worker, and a mother who stayed at home with my brother and me.”
