[Renew Deal]

[maddezmom]

6. are you watching?

:)

[jenk]

2. so what are they going to do there?

[Loren645]

3. Thanks B7! I'll be "there"

Via CSPAN.

[maddezmom]

4. is it similar to the one In IA ?

where they all have a little dinner and make a speech? dunno?

[maddezmom]

5. Dennis Kucinich is there, too!

and it's on now

[hellhathnofury]

7. OMG his song.

I want to find a copy of that.

Mix of rap and harmony.

[maddezmom]

9. it was fantastic

but now he's getting serious.

[hellhathnofury]

10. It's kinda funny in a sad way. I like it still.

[maddezmom]

8. DK is up

he's got some great music :) it's original...anyone know where it came from?

[laruemtt]

11. kuch fired up

makes excellent points. he's right, of course.

[laruemtt]

12. Kuch: i'm ready,

the question is how much change are you ready for..... EXCELLENT

[diamondsoul]

122. Damn, missed it, and I LOVE that line! n/t

[Loren645]

13. Great quip from Dean!

"I'm so excited to be here I could scream."

Yeah, atta boy.

[Zynx]

38. He should say that more and more often.

People would get a good laugh out of that.

[funky_bug]

14. "Howard, don't ever give up, please!"

Did you hear the water-girl say that? How awesome!

[laruemtt]

15. that pic is my dream!

:smile:

[funky_bug]

16. me too. n/t

[Loren645]

17. Dean stressed the importance of all candidates working for the nominee

to beat Bush.

ATTA BOY part deux.

Unifying the Dem party is the first thing on the agenda.

[indie_voter]

59. I agree!

Hi,

I am a newbie here with a confession, I never saw the appeal of Dean until just now.

After the media trashing of his Iowa speech I gave him a second look. His speech today was spot on.

Watching Clark after Dean was very interesting. Dean spoke in a broad sense, Clark came on and spoke to the minutia. We need both.

I understand the dream Dean/Clark ticket now. I still hope it happens even though it looks unlikely at the moment.

I will gladly support either man for president.

[Clark4Prez]

18. Dean "We must unify the Democratic party"

Preach it, brother!!!

:yourock:

[maddezmom]

20. good job by Dean

:)

[funky_bug]

21. Dean is kicking major

MAJOR ASS! This is truly inspiring! Right on issue, no attacks, just "I'm Howard Dean, and this is what I believe!"

[spooky3]

43. very good job

[MaineDem]

133. My impression is he wasn't talking to NH people

Seemed to me all the talk of equality and unity was directed beyond NH toward the south. Especially talking about quotas and such.

He gave a good speech though.

[Loren645]

19. Dean: "Quota is a coded racist term...Bush used it" Bingo!

Exactly.

[funky_bug]

22. General is up!

and by the way, I love Journey too, and I'm only 34.

[bicentennial_baby]

25. Gimme details!

No tv access right now!

[funky_bug]

28. Listening on line

He is very fired up. I'll keep you posted.
He just said, "I haven't been a member of the Democrat party for very long..." Got some giggles.

[laruemtt]

23. i SO want dean and clark

together. tell me it's possible.

[maddezmom]

24. Clark is up

:)

[Loren645]

26. Officer on deck!!!

Clark speaking...

[maddezmom]

30. and he has a great sense of humor

not going to let the naysayers about his party credentials keep him down. Love him.

[Maddy McCall]

27. CLARK, ADMIT YOU FUCKED UP ON JOURNEY!!!

Get a new song. Let me help you pick one. Just DITCH JOURNEY!

The lead singer is a child molester anyway. Shit. Come talk to me. We can find something cool by Lucinda Williams to help you. Just ditch Journey.

Can I get a witness???

[funky_bug]

29. He is?

Damn... I didn't know that. Damn.

[funky_bug]

32. We don't believe it's patriotic

to let the president dress up and prance around on a flight carrier... he'll go halfway across the country for a photo op, but won't go across town for a funeral... that's bad patriotism and we've got to replace it. It's that simple.

[funky_bug]

35. He is SO good!

I'm sure he'll be painted the angry Democrat now... but he is so fired up and they cannot stop applauding him.


"They use family values as a way of dividing people...to polarize them...family values is what it takes to value families...we've got a president that's let 8 million people go without jobs...family values is putting people to work...and if you're talking about family values, you'd better be talking about helping families get their families to the doctor, but we've got a president who has 44million people uninsured...if you're talking family values, you'd better talk about education...under GWB the average cost of tuition has gone up by 28% in three years... the only people I know whose incomes have gone up like that are people who work for Halliburton."

Shew! He's wearing my fingers out!

[AlinPA]

121. This is the best I've seen in Clark. Really fired up.

That aircraft carrier line was great.

[Clark4Prez]

31. How about "Don't Stop Thinking About Tommorrow"

I love that song, especially after 1992!

[maddezmom]

33. yes

but it brings back good memories for me.... LOL

[Loren645]

40. Oh lord, we need a fund raiser to purchase new theme music.

Please Wes. I'm begging you.

[maddezmom]

34. Clarks on fire...Family Values

he is on his game tonight!

[funky_bug]

36. Now they're seeing him

without pundit-colored glasses.

[Loren645]

37. Clark kickin' ass...I mean elephant.

He's on.

[justinpower]

52. Someone tell Wes

The red tie might be a bad idea

[funky_bug]

97. Na...

We can take the color red back too!

[funky_bug]

39. Updating for baby...

I'm typing as fast as my fingers will fly...

He's spoken on the environment, on equality, and he's defining what the Democratic party is about.

"I'm very happy to be here with the party tonight and I'm very proud to be a Democrat because this is the party that represents my values, and this is party that represents what American values ought to be about....we will take back the white house..."

[bicentennial_baby]

41. How's the reception?

Good applause?

[funky_bug]

42. They never stopped

Seriously... they applauded him after practically every point he made, and he made a bunch... and when they were clapping, you could hear a pin drop.

It was a beautiful response to a beautiful speech.

[maddezmom]

44. He was Wes...

and the crowd loved what he had to say.

[bicentennial_baby]

46. Yay!!

Good for Wes!! :bounce:

[Clark4Prez]

48. yes good applause!

And they gave the Jefferson/Jackson award to someone who admitted that he experimented with the Republican party but he never inhaled.

[funky_bug]

45. The Grassroots Award Recipient

Said the funniest thing... he said he had to acknowledge that in his young and reckless days, he experimented with republicanism... but he said, "I assure you, I never inhaled."

LOL

[Zynx]

53. Best. Line. Ever.

That is fantastic. :)

[Loren645]

47. "I never inhaled" :) Snort

Heh heh.

[in_cog_ni_to]

49. Wes

was terrific! His speech was perfect and the crowd seemed to love him!

Go Wes!

[funky_bug]

50. and remember...

This crowd is the same crowd that saw the debate a few nights ago.

[spooky3]

51. Here's Johnny (Edwards)--brb

[maddezmom]

54. John Edwards up next

when do these guys eat?

[laruemtt]

55. he looks even younger

than yesterday, if that's possible. what does he eat? i want some of it!

[Zynx]

56. He has $38 million. You can do a lot with that.

[funky_bug]

57. Edwards on deck

Says our country is divided... those who are the most affluent, and everybody else... he's building his speech on that premise. It's good!

"Two economies in America...one for affluent families who know their children are going to be just fine, and one for families who live paycheck to paycheck..."

"35 million Americans who live in poverty... we know they don't vote... but we have a moral responsibility to life these families out of poverty..."

[funky_bug]

58. Any Edwards supporters on deck?

My fingers are tired, and I need to get some dinner. Anyone want to take over the recap?

[democratreformed]

60. Not here, I guess n/t

[Loren645]

62. I'm in the Clark camp, but Edwards is giving a great speech

Hitting all the right notes.

[funky_bug]

66. Good, then I can say this...

Is it just me, or is Edwards kind of boring right now? LOL

Seriously, I love to hear him speak... that N. Carolina accent makes my knees weak... but Edwards is fourth to speak, and everything he's said, kind of has already been covered by the other three.

Oooo, but I like this one... "bonus pay for teachers who will teach in low performing schools..." Now THAT's the way to improve schools!

[Loren645]

68. :) I'm telling ya, Clark/Edwards would be unbeatible.

I'm gonna start negotiating w Edwards first thing in the morning!

[funky_bug]

73. I am standing corrected

Mr. Chocolate Voice has definitely pulled it out at the end of his speech.

[spooky3]

61. "your money didn't go to help seniors in this medicare bill"

"It went into the pockets of the HMOs and pharmaceutical companies"

"to pay for their advertisements that are out of control"

"and provisions that would have helped--negotiating better drug prices, importing from Canada--were stripped out"

[tishaLA]

63. With his love of corporations, he has to know

about the two economies.

[spooky3]

65. ??? what is your evidence of that???

[spooky3]

64. "you and I can change this; it doesn't have to be that way"

this theme emphasized over and over

Now discussing education reforms; bonuses to teachers, strengthening early childhood programs

[spooky3]

67. "strengthening families by cracking down on predatory lenders"

[spooky3]

70. "stop the war profiteering that is going on in Iraq; you and I can do

something about this"

going back to his "lifting up, no sniping" theme

[funky_bug]

72. Stands corrected

Now he's got my interest... the predatory lendors was good... but then again, Edwards could say, "packet packet packet" over and over again, and it would be akin to manna from heaven for me.

"If you're looking for a Democrat who will attack other Democrats, that's not me." THAT WAS DAMN GOOD! KICK TO KERRY'S FLYERS!

[spooky3]

76. oh admit it, wife, we just like the cute ones :-)

[funky_bug]

83. You can't prove that

My top three in alphabetical order: Clark, Dean, Edwards...

Nothing to see here, girl... you can go home now. :hug:

[spooky3]

85. LOL!!!!

[jpgray]

69. Edwards is KICKING ASS!! Holy shit!

He fired me right the hell up, and I haven't been a huge fan of his! Edwards folks, you should be REALLY proud of that performance!

[spooky3]

71. thanks, jpgray, he does it every time

[spooky3]

74. I think he's stolen a bit of the "we can do it together" from Dean

but since all of them have borrowed from his themes I guess that's ok too. :-)

[funky_bug]

77. We all have a lot to thank Dean for

We cannot forget that, no matter where he ends up on Tuesday.

[spooky3]

79. totally agree--he had the courage to speak out and show them the way.

[DjTj]

88. Yes. Dean has really framed the debate.

There wouldn't be anywhere near this much energy and we wouldn't have all the candidates pandering to the people.

Isn't that great? Our candidates all pander to the *people* - not to the unions, or the trial lawyers, or the abortion lobby, or the gun control lobby, not the environmental lobby ... the candidates are really speaking to the people instead of the special interests, and we have Howard to thank for that.

[AP]

130. Dean says "you". Edwards says "we".

[DjTj]

75. I could listen to Johnny give that speech over and over...

...forever!

It pumps me up every time!

I DO believe we can change America!

[spooky3]

78. and we HAVE, DjTj! But he's right to stick to the one who brung him

to the dance. :-)

[funky_bug]

80. Mr. Chocolate Voice

I could listen to him say, "You're fat and your breath stinks" over and over again. GOD I love that accent :loveya:

[maddezmom]

81. he did well

:) All our guys are great!

[Zynx]

84. This will sound wierd out of a straight guy, but he has a soothing voice.

It's not boring like Kerry's or Gephardt's(I feel sorry for him that he's gone, but he had a boring voice).

[funky_bug]

91. Welcome to the Bi side

I feel the same way when I hear Alicia Keys sing.

LOL

[tishaLA]

82. Here is Joe! Feel the Joementum!

NH has a sense of RESPONSIBILITY!

[bicentennial_baby]

87. Bwahahahaha

Joementum!!!! :bounce:

[Loren645]

90. I guess it's intermission...

}(

[funky_bug]

93. What did I miss?

I had to go... um... ah, never mind... I didn't have to go anywhere...lol... just seemed like a good time to take a break... or a nap...

[maddezmom]

95. he's doing okay

I suppose...talking up the Clinton years(again).

[jenk]

86. What a speech by Edwards!!

A++++++++

Was he on fire or what!?!? AMAZING!

[funky_bug]

89. On fire

That describes my loins, every time he opens his milk chocolaty voice.

*note to self... you are pathetic, you weak, horny female specie

[Jerseycoa]

92. You're a pisser, Wife

:7

[Loren645]

96. Yup...Clark...kicked butt. Yupper.

Are we in a time warp or somehing? This seems endless.

[Clark4Prez]

104. I guess that explains

Why your fingers were tired!

J/K, you know I love you.

[funky_bug]

108. Yes, that's my husband

He's just jealous. But honey, for that crack... well, that's the last crack you'll be seein' tonight.

[Jerseycoa]

94. Did everybody hear Joe?

Talk about the Balkans without acknowledging the man in the room? He is so teeny. :(

[funky_bug]

98. Missed it

I think I fell asleep... yawn...

[Loren645]

100. Is the filibuster over???

...

[funky_bug]

102. LMAO

That's the funniest thing I've heard all day! Well, make that second, Lieberman says Nashville is on fire with "Joementum." Now THAT's funny!

[tishaLA]

99. He's making my loins moist!

He says there is an outbreak of Joementum in NH today! People in NH know they can TRUST him because he hates Hollywood and loves to smear Clark!

[Loren645]

103. tishaLA, you seriously grossed me out just now.

There are you couple of threads gauging the candidate's hotness.
You may want to weigh in there on Loinerman.

[tishaLA]

106. LOL. Oh I just couldn't. Someone might take it seriously.

[tishaLA]

Joe says he is going on--United to Victory!

and then the crowd went wild, thinking that he meant he was LEAVING when he said he was going on.

[funky_bug]

105. eeeeeeeeeeeeyaaaaaaaaa!

That was so friggin' hilarious... now my loins are moist, cause your post made me wet my pants.

[funky_bug]

101. Joementum my

ass. The last two brags I've heard come out of Joe's mouth were...

"I heard in a private conversation that Bush fears me" and "I heard in Nashville there's Joementum."

$25 contribution to the candidate of your choice, for the person who bests equals Joe Lieberman's name with lethargy, or intestinal distress.

[Loren645]

107. Is Sharpton campaigning here at all?

In NH.

[maddezmom]

109. John Kerry is up

(again great choice in music)

[funky_bug]

110. Can someone else cover Kerry?

After his attacks on Clark in NH, I don't have the heart.

[Zynx]

111. Neither do I. Clark never did anything to Kerry to deserve that.

I was trying to warm to Kerry following the Iowa win, but now I can't.

[funky_bug]

112. I hear ya n/t

[Loren645]

113. Yeah, I'm just sorta biting my tongue here.

Wes has so much class...

[Loren645]

114. And that's over.

Don't let the door hit ya...

[blm]

115. Why so sensitive? It's typical politics.

Clark's camp played the Kerry is a Washington insider card and Kerry's camp said look what Clark was doing as an insider. Big deal. Neither lied. neither went out of political bounds.

Fair field. Why so upset?

[funky_bug]

117. Until you show me

where Clark "painted Kerry as a Washington insider" I stand by my statement.

[bigtree]

123. Didn't the Draft Clark campaign paint the rest of the field as

Washington insiders for months before he announced. Hasn't that been the rhetoric and rational for his candidacy, that he's an outsider?

[blm]

125. He's referred to others as Washington insiders in his stump speeches.

I heard him do it a few times on Cspan. It's no big deal. That's his card to play. Pols expect it. If this is gonna be your hobby, you should get used to it.

[Loren645]

127. "Hobby"?

Tone deaf much?

[blm]

131. Point being, if one is so easily offended by typical campaign

elbow throwing then maybe its too easy to blow it out of proportion?

The Ckark and Kerry camp have been elbowing a bit, but not too strongly. It seems the supporters who have blown it out of proportion.

[Clark4Prez]

129. It's just a little more than important than a hobby

People believe very much in their candidates, I have lost some respect for Kerry since he said he would never say any thing bad about Clark and then pulled the "Clark is a Republican" crap.

We're used to it, just not from those that should be on our team.

[blm]

132. He's responding. So what?

Clark's camp paints Kerry as a Washington insider and yet says nothing to explain that Kerry's time in Washington was used to expose more government corruption than any other lawmaker.

There is no real big deal here, either way. It's the two camps playing what cards they have. Clark's camp and Kerry's camp.

[tishaLA]

116. I really am over the Kerry "Bring it On" chant

at this point and I don't even follow him slavishly. How long can he ride the wave of reclaiming a phraseology from old Chimpy? It must have reached its half-life by now, huh?

[Loren645]

118. But what do your loins say about Kerry tishLA?

I'm taking a loin poll.

[bigtree]

119. Crowd likes it

He had the on their feet chanting. Most of the crowds wait for it and holler along with him like it's the first time they've heard it. Most don't watch as much of this stuff as we do.

[Loren645]

120. Who will get the loins share of the vote?

That's the question pundits need to ask.

[bigtree]

124. don't ask

dt

[diamondsoul]

126. Anyone got replay info, please? n/t

134. What, there was no Food Fight??

I'm disappointed! :(
