The following clips were sent out by the Obama campaign:

Rachel Maddow on Joe Biden and Barack Obama: "Before this week nobody would have thought of Barack Obama and Joe Biden as a team...it's an emotional bond that can't be doubted now."

Brit Hume on Joe Biden's speech: "Probably though the audience at home listening to this would say that's pretty powerful stuff"

Anderson Cooper and Campell Brown on Biden's speech: "Biden I have to say gave, especially his attacks on John McCain, probably the most effective I think we've heard in any of the speeches given"

Gloria Borger on Biden's convention night: "He's 65 years old and what he did was he said to older voters this fellow has the judgment to be Commander in Chief of the United States. And he also spoke about foreign policy and he spoke about pocketbook issues, and as the Vice Presidential nominee I think he did everything he had to do."

David Gergen on Bill Clinton's speech: "It was not only that he embraced in a rousing way the candidacy of Barack Obama, and very importantly, Joe Biden; not only that he validated both of them, and said that the country would be in good, safe hands under their leadership; not only that he really said, I'm going to be supporting them all the way till November. But I think he also advanced the argument in ways we have not yet heard in this convention."

Karl Rove on Bill Clinton's speech: "But the most important thing is he gave the best argument offered thus far on the third day of the convention for Barack Obama, he gave a comprehensive view domestically and internationally."
