I've only seen his performance at last year's Democratic Convention, and didn't see what all the jazz was about. I guess he's above average -- it's hard not to be, when most politicians are terrible -- but the whole tenor of his speech struck me as very cynical and what is worst, obviously so. (Its main theme was that we need to move above party politics and embrace each other as one America, and oh yeah, Republicans are a festering sore upon this country, and if you're not out there crushing them you don't have America's best interests at heart).
I think he has a very base-limited appeal.
