Damn, man! He's taking it right to the GOP's claims as they speak! With...get this...actual substance!

Everyone who's stressed by that Republican slime machine should listen. He's loosened his tie and is tearing it up!

"He hates America. You can see the fear in his eyes. He's running scared."

Honey, that ain't the speech I just heard?

LOL...Democratic caller is asking if Republican callers are just stupid or what! Middle aged woman going off!

I guess I shouldn't be too surprised though given Lynchburg's recent history. The late Jerry Falwell hailed from Lynchburg and there's a freeway and airport named after him somewhere around here.

Easy to despair when you get so much shit. He was wonderful, forward thinking, and positive. And specific. You know, substance!

It's not just the convention, it's the storm and the convention. I appreciate your point but I'd go truly crazy if I didn't know what was out there.

You have a screaming, angry Chris Christie, and a happy, smiling President Obama in Virgina. So positive and uplifting. The Republicans strategy is create Fear, hopelessness, anger and hatred. They have truly gone to the DARK SIDE OF THE FORCE...to use a Lucas phrase.

Both sides. Some ring true and some seem like human robocalls. Have to hand it to the C-Span folks. They're as deadpan as you can get.

By the way...on CSPAN III they had a wonderful class on the history of the Civil Rights in this country. It was very enjoyable and educational.
