1. Thanks, didn't know it would be shown.

[Sugarbleus]

58. It's on NOW...wooohoooo Dang that was a great video!!

I feel encouraged looking at this.

[shoopnyc123]

2. Joe Trippi on Hardball...

...they cleaned him up!

[BootinUp]

5. yea, he looked pretty good

Did a nice report and offered commentary on whether the party was unified. Said that the primary battle was water under the bridge and all the candidates were dedicated to defeating Bush.

Joe also commented on Dubya's poor taste in humor about not finding the WMD.

[HalfManHalfBiscuit]

3. Is it like that show on IFC where stars eat, smoke, drink, and cuss?

Then I might watch.

[Hav]

4. You'll have to watch!

In addition to what you said, there will also be lots of boobs!

[Hav]

6. Talking about boobs..

when does Frist stop talking, it's annoying.

[Thrill]

7. WHEN IS CSPAN

going to turn it on???????????

[mandyky]

8. It's 722 PM

no Dem Unity dinner yet. I checked the website (cspan), and it is not on cspan3 either. hmmmmmm...............

[Hav]

9. yeah

Frist just doesn't stop talking.
It's supposed to be on cpsn2.
Seems we have to wait some mins.

[wyldwolf]

10. but... but... the democratic party isn't unified..

...we need to "unify" the party.

(read several times on DU)

[cally]

11. Would Kerry please ditch the Pink tie

I know it's shallow, but it has got to go. He seems to love it because he wears it all the time.

OK, I'll go back to more important issues.

[Thrill]

13. They look great up there

[Hav]

12. .

These Dems on that stage are looking damn fine.

[Thrill]

14. Whats on tap for tonight?

Singing? Speakers?

[cally]

15. Kerry looked so happy

and did you notice the Lieberman and Gore hug. It's time to reconcile.

[Suziq]

16. My Heart is . . .

bursting! What a great bunch! :loveya:

[SeanOhio]

17. Clinton, Edwards, Kerry

I loved how Clinton strategically placed Edwards next to Kerry!

[Sugarbleus]

62. So is mine Suziq........I'm almost in tears of joy... eek

I was upset about him a few days ago, but tonight I'm "over it". What a wonderful bunch assembled there this evening. I'm overwhelmed with HOPE!

:loveya:

[David Zephyr]

18. Governor Richards is Servin' Up a Can of Texas Stomp Ass!

She'll always be The Texas Governor in my eyes!

[Sugarbleus]

64. I LOVE her....LOL--->'stomp ass'..... eom

[MoonRiver]

19. Thanks! Your post rescued me from watching Tweety spin his

multi-colored web!

[maddezmom]

20. Dems are UNITED

and fired up. :toast:

[flpoljunkie]

21. Great photo of the event!

Reuters/Jason Reed

[SendTheGOPPacking]

22. Sweet!

[Zynx]

61. Great picture.

Kerry's height really is an asset. The picture proves it.

[maddezmom]

23. Al Gore: John Kerry EARNED the nomination

:) Damn right Al

[Hav]

25. Al Gore was great

cough, cough..

[incapsulated]

28. Heh, yeah, I caught that..

I was wondering what he was going to say about the "endorsement issue". ;)

[TheDonkey]

24. I love Gore.

makes me depressed he is not our president and will never be (well not likely anyway).

[Hav]

26. me too, me too...

[RummyTheDummy]

27. Has the Big Dog spoken yet?

It's been awhile since I've heard him speak publicly especially live.

[flpoljunkie]

29. No. not yet.

Hang in there!

[TheDonkey]

30. Not sure, just tuned in...

but I hope he's going on later (probably since he'll bring down the house!). Can't wait.

[MoonRiver]

34. Lol! My husband, frantically trying to complete our taxes,

and unable to pay much attention to this event, came into my office and said: "tell me when Big Dog is on." :D

[maddezmom]

31. Jimmy Carter: thanks courageous Howard Dean

for drawing a sharp distinction between Dems and Repubs...papaphrased

[maddezmom]

33. Jimmy's advice to Ralph Nadar don't run

[Hav]

32. .

Listen to Carter, listen to him...some could learn something..

[Hav]

35. And there he is..

the Big Dog ;).

[Blasphemer]

36. "Sigh...."

I'm tearing up remembering what used to be...

[RummyTheDummy]

38. Me too

When they were showing that video from 92 I had tears in my eyes. Those were good times.

[Blue_Roses]

84. yes they were and

I miss those days too. Clinton is still an awesome speaker. I was hanging on his every word.

[DaveSZ]

39. :)

I loved Carter's speech, but missed Gore's.

Clinton on now.

[maddezmom]

37. Clinton

The Big Dog will get them fired up like no one else. :)

[AbbeyRoad]

40. I miss him [n/t]

[Hav]

42. Gore, Carter, Clinton..

so that is how real Presidents look like...who would have thought.

[TheDonkey]

45. so proud of this party

to have such great head our party. Not perfect, no one is, but these are excellent people.

[Hav]

49. and so am I,

Great people.

[incapsulated]

43. Godamn!

He is the fucking MAN! :nuke:

I love Bill Clinton!

[TheDonkey]

41. Can Clinton please get his own TV show, damn!

He knows how to talk.

[MoonRiver]

44. BIG DOG kicking Repuklican arse Big Time!!!

Wooo hooo!!! Who's suffering so that the rich can get richer: after school programs, middle class, etc. YEAH!! Tell it like it is Bill! :kick::kick::kick:

[Hav]

47. .

"(In order to win) they have to get people to stop thinking.
And they are really good at that."

Bush would be so screwed if Clinton would be his opponent...


(also speaking out for McCain and Cleland, good man)

[MoonRiver]

50. Kerry can also beat *'s arse. He's a great candidate, plus he'll have BD

as a surrogate. Not using this amazing politician was one of Gore's biggest mistakes, not to ever be repeated.

[AbbeyRoad]

46. Clinton is the best natural speaker that I've seen.

He can mesmerize an audience.

[incapsulated]

48. Clinton is fucking Killing The Rethugs!!

:nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

[Thrill]

51. Clinton brings tears to your

eyes

[RummyTheDummy]

52. What a speech

It was funny, it was sad, it was up beat and at times painfully honest. He's still got it!

[Hav]

53. .

Now I understand why some have the opinion that Clinton is the best campaigner we ever had.

[DaveSZ]

54. .

Clinton's speech was amazing. :)

[TheDonkey]

55. Excellent bio pic of Kerry! Damn get that on the air!

Watch the voters flock to this leader.

[Hav]

56. made me shiver

[Thrill]

57. Why does Kerry not let his

hair grow out anymore??

[TheDonkey]

59. There was a picture of him with Beethoven hair

it was really scruffy and grown out and it actually looked pretty good. I'm not sure many would agree though ;).
But looked real old school

[DaveSZ]

60. .

Kerry's speech is quite flat so far.

This is why I worry about him.

[TheDonkey]

63. Following Clinton is hard

but I agree, Kerry's speaking style is not bring the house down crazy.

But what he lacks in vocal gifts I guess he makes up for experience, intellegence, and leadership. He'll sharpen his tone and message as the campaign continues as well. Just like he did during the primary.

[incapsulated]

65. He is what he is..

What he can do is bring up the enegry level and focus the message.

Fortunately, he will have great speakers like Clinton out on the stump for him, now.

[Thrill]

66. He's doing Good

Now.

[Zynx]

67. He usually needs to warm up a little.

[Thrill]

68. If you go back and listen to

Speeches from John F Kennedy. he sounds exacly like him

[maddezmom]

69. that was awesome, John Kerry our next President of the United States

:)

[Hippo_Tron]

70. NO amount of talent and money can make Bush look that good...

I mean what the hell can they say. "George Bush graduated Yale. Because of his daddy's connections, he could've had any job he wanted. He chose to be an alcoholic bum."

[Hav]

71. .

That's still probably the best thing one can say about him.

[DaveSZ]

72. Ahahah

Good one Hippo. :P


Kerry's getting better now. :)


Kerry just needs to take whatever advice Clinton gives him since he knows how to win elections. Clinton is a brilliant man.

[ramapo]

73. Everytime I watch John Kerry...

I want to send money. I've donated twice, I will again.

Please send money if you haven't. Money talks, you know what walks.

[Thrill]

74. I'm pumped now

These speeches bring tears to your eyes.

[flpoljunkie]

75. The unity in the Democratic party is real. This gives me much hope.

We will win in November!

[Sugarbleus]

77. 'Yeaha, Stand my ground, I won't back down' Yeeeeeeehawwww!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Hav]

76. well that was worth staying up till 4 am

Maybe they should have made tomorrow the last day of their fundraiser.

[DaveSZ]

78. #

Did John Edwards speak earlier?

Who spoke first? I'm sad I missed Al Gore. :(

[Hav]

81. .

No, Edwards didn't speak.
I already forgot who spoke first.
I remember Daschle,McAucliffe, Gore, Carter, Clinton and then Kerry.
But there were more.

[MoonRiver]

79. I loved it! We need this kind of fix every week!

Hey, how about another Rolling Thunder on C-SPAN? They could appear at different spots across the country with a Democrats United event featuring our presumptive nominee Kerry.

[Thrill]

80. hmmmmmmmmm

[MoonRiver]

82. "hmmmmmmm", WHAT??????????? n/t

[PopSixSquish]

83. Now That's a Mighty Fine Picture....

Makes me remember why I am and proud to be a Democrat!

Jimmy Carter - one of the finest human beings ever
Bill Clinton - one of the finest Presidents ever

John Kerry - will be one of the finest Presidents ever
John Edwards - will be one of the finest AG, VP or Presidents ever

The past, present and future of the Democratic party. I believe in John Kerry. And I believe in John Edwards. I don't know that there will be a Kerry/Edwards ticket, perhaps not. But we've just begun to get to know John Kerry and we've not heard the last of John Edwards. Makes me smile tonight.
