To: TornadoAlley3
Are all the atheists and perverts there?? I swear...half these people are sick.

The old folks think they're still voting for Roosevelt (my mom was one of them).

Blacks just vote black.

Psssst....Women should have never gotten the vote. They miss the big picture. They're the one item voters....and it's all about them.

[MerryBlooms]

59. There sure was and I really appreciate the camera coverage from CSPAN

showing all the emotions of the crowd. I also really loved seeing the dancing, the smiles and hugs... the delegates were fun to watch. The CSPAN crew did an excellent job, I think.

[cali]

13. Caroline. Looks great

sounds damned good too. Gets right to it. Says she's inspired by his record.

[cali]

16. Concerted effort to get young people to vote

Caroline Kennedy focused on it as did Scarlett Johannson.

Having a show on Current will do that.

[cali]

[tjdee]

20. GRANHOLMMMM

21. Wowzer.

Mitt Romney: cars get an elevator, workers get the shaft.

Attacking Mitt's Bain career.

Crowd going insane.

[nc4bo]

22. House on Fire!!!! nt

[cali]

23. The crowd is transfixed

The D is for Drive forward. The R is for Reverse.

Holy shit what a barn burner of a speech.

[cali]

24. Eva Longoria looking gorgeous

Talking about education and college loans.

[cali]

25. Gov. Schweitzer

I know Mitt Romney. We were governors at the same time. He's a good man, blah, blah, blah. BUT talks about the lousy job rMoney did as Governor.

Can't say I'm loving this speech with his "That dog don't hunt" refrain.

[Wednesdays]

26. Looking forward to a great night, and a big convention bounce!

[cali]

27. Me too!

Obama advisers are downplaying the bounce prospect but I think he'll get one.

[cali]

28. Charlie Christ "I didn't leave the Republican Party, it left me"

but this just feels awkward.

[nolabear]

29. HellOOO Charlie!! This should be interesting.

[AnnetteJacobs]

42. LOL, yes

[Wednesdays]

30. Wow, Crist giving payback ("The Republican Party left me")

[nc4bo]

32. Claudhammercy.

[cali]

31. OK this is getting better

The choice is crystal clear.

the crowd is restrained.

[Wednesdays]

33. John Kerry up now

[cali]

34. Senator Kerry

Will we protect our country.....? Or will we entrust our country to someone who hasn't learned the lessons of the last decade.

Talking foreign policy and Mitt's neo-con advisers.

I've never heard him as animated.

[Wednesdays]

35. "not time to outsource the CIC"

Bullseye!

[BeyondGeography]

36. Kerry giving a very intelligent, passionate speech

[Hayabusa]

37. Kerry had to have had fun with that joke.

"Talk about being for it before you were against it."

How many times was that original quip used against him in 2004?

[Wednesdays]

38. "...seen Russia from watching Rocky IV!"

[cali]

39. Good video featuring vets

addressing Iraq and Osama bin Laden.

[cali]

40. 4 star general and a couple of dozen vets

not a barn burner speech but an awfully good one.

[AnnetteJacobs]

41. Loved al;l the speaches so far

:heart:

[cali]

43. Freepers have totally lost it

Their DNC live thread is like watching a bunch of rabid hyenas.

To: MagUSNRET

Liberal are whores for their party. It’s always been difficult for the party of values to beat the party with no values in an election. Whoring to generate tears. Cheating to generate fake votes. How do you beat that?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

[nolabear]

48. Joe's up. Man, I'm so happy.

[Wednesdays]

51. Joe Biden on now

[ellisonz]

52. He loves her so much.

[Lyocell]

53. He accepted spoilers

[Wednesdays]

55. He's a tad more subdued, but still getting in great points

I think they're saving the big fireworks for the finale.

[w8liftinglady]

56. OK... biden just made ME cry. I sat with my dad in 2008 when he voted for Obama

just before he died.


I love Joe.
