Who wrote this speech, anyway?

I've been wondering who wrote the Address, too. Any Freepers with knowledge of this?

Michael Gerson is the President's speechwriter. Karen Hughes was on tv on Thurs. saying that the President called Gerson in on the day after the election to start working on the speech. She said what the President delivered on Thurs. was the 22nd draft of the speech.
