Phil Davison's Epic Freak-Out Speech Entertains Rachel Maddow (VIDEO)

On 'The Rachel Maddow Show', (weekdays, 9PM on MSNBC) Maddow played video of a speech from Phil Davison, a candidate for the position of treasurer in Stark County, Ohio.

Describing the speech, Maddow said it "practically bled with raw gut churning passion that definitely could not have been faked."

In the speech, Davison immediately falls into an uncontrolled -- but ostensibly motivational -- freak out. The type of which is generally only heard when a commander is about to lead his troops into a battle that there is no coming back from.

"He didn't win," Maddow deadpanned after the clip was done. However, a few moments later, Maddow couldn't help but mimic Davison's infectious -- if politically unsuccessful -- speaking style.
