For most people, political junkies included, last night was their introduction to Brian Schweitzer, the Democratic Governor of the State of Montana.
Schweitzer gave a rousing 15-minute speech that had the entire crowd on it's feet by the end. Bill Clinton was even on his feet, cheering for Obama as Schweitzer led the sea of Democrats on the floor in chants of "Yes We Can" and "O-Ba-Ma!"
