They new what they were going to say before it even began. It is a real shame that uninformed and undereducated people throughout this country need to be subjected to such nonsense.

I Thought Hillary delivered her speech remarkably well. I have not seen her as electric before. What it was she was saying was the same old, silly two party politics...
Ha ha! I'm not much of a channel flipper, so I never got into the comparing the commentary, but I bet it is hillarious. I usually watch CNN, but recently I got into occaisionally watching MSNBC and FNC --- it is amazing how biased they both are. But it seems like none of these 24-hour news channels have anything insightful to say. To fill 24-hours, they have to just constantly talk their freakin' heads off, and it is as if they never have time to pause and form an actual thought. Maybe they should just say, "OK we are going to go away for a couple of hours and think about this. And when we come back we will sum up our best thoughts in a one-hour recap. In the meantime, please enjoy 'Dancing with the Stars' -- it will be equally as informative as we would be if we just sat here babbling for the next 24 hours." That would be the honest thing to do.

I overheard someone say they are watching to see if he 'gets it!" Some people suck!

Since, JFK was the last to give an outdoor acceptance speech. It all seems like a re-enactment of JFK's DNC. I object to it! I feel they needed all new shit with new vision, not so nostalgic (copy cat)! I feel like, 'dah, I've been here before!'

The Kennedy's needed to pass the torch in '92 and force Clinton to pass it now! We all feel for Teddy, but it made it sad for those of us that remember all his bro's!! His speech was the best! Seeing people cry, his relatives, took the enjoyment out! We know he is loved and admired! We also know how loved he was when he dumped his Lincoln in the ice water and left the scene, too! Perhaps, that incident, made him a better person!

I just do not see the enthusiasm of crowd's etc. I have in years past! As boring as baseball can be at times, I equate it to that!

Since, Bill is an excellent speaker, if he cannot motivate, over the top for the Dem's--Biden won't!! I will tune in, because of your optimism!

All the parties unite in the end! We expected that! I must admit, I expected Hillary to ask for donations to pay off her debt though! Or, if Obama had the DNC pay it for her to speak! Just curious! We may never know that!

If Hillary and Obama merged their speeches, they would have some damn fine ones! McCain could not touch um. But, he is catching up now!

Did you happen to see the RNC's platform meeting today on CSPAN?

Appreciate your encouragement and will be tuning back in tomorrow! Thank You! pr :thumbsup:
Well, God, I hope nothing horrible happens at the outdoor event. I'm sure they have that whole area buttoned up tight.

I did not see the RNC platform meeting --- anything interesting come out of that?

I'll be watching the convention all week, and the Republicans next week, so hopefully it won't be too boring.
