KOEB 8/27/08 Democratic Convention '08 Night 3: Roll Call, Big Dog and Biden Edition

[Berry Cool]

:hi: Hi! No one else started the thread yet, so here I go again! Better late than never!

Roll call: So far Obama is ahead of Hillary 820.5 to 208.5. :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

1. Hi Berry and everyone!

I'm loving the roll call!

And can't wait to hear Biden tonight! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[Berry Cool]

2. Hi SG!

:hi: Well, as Keith pointed out, they didn't even try to get the voting over with in time for Obama to go over the top and clinch the nomination and make it the lead story on the network news tonight. Too important for the delegates to give all those self-serving bombastic state speeches

Current tally after New Hampshire just cast its votes unanimously, for those of you scoring at home, or even if you're alone: 14,225.5 for Obama, 341.5 for Clinton.

[Berry Cool]

4. And New Jersey just cast its votes unanimously as well.

New Jersey, "the home of Jon Bon Jovi." And people "who sometimes have an attitude." I am not kidding.

[RevCheesehead]

48. And Bruce.

And, of course, The Sopranos. :)

[SharonRB]

22. I was verklempt during the roll call n/t

[Patsy Stone]

28. Thanks a brazillion for the birthday card

It was hi-larious! :loveya:

[SharonRB]

36. I knew you'd get a kick out of it

As soon as I saw it, I knew it had your name all over it.

[WolverineDG]

3. I'm tuning in & out

I have no desire to watch the "IT'S ALL ABOUT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" shit going on tonight.

dg

[Berry Cool]

5. Hi Wolvie!

:hi: You know, I just don't even care anymore if Hillary's people want this dog and pony show.

New Mexico up. They're yielding the floor to Illinois, which skipped the roll call earlier. This is it, folks!

[Berry Cool]

6. And ladies and gentlemen, here's Illinois...

...bucking for an all-Illinois World Series this year...yielding to New York...and heeeere comes Hillary!

If you're not tuned in now, tune in!

[Berry Cool]

7. And New York casts its votes...

with Hillary standing by...who is about to say to her delegates: "Fly, delegates, fly!"

"The home of Charlie Rangel"...

"CHARLIE RANGEL???"

[Berry Cool]

8. And heeeere she is, folks...

to make it official...

[Berry Cool]

9. "Let's declare, right here and right now, that Barack Obama is our candidate

and he will be our next president."

She's moved to suspend the roll call and that Obama be selected by acclimation.

[Berry Cool]

10. And the crowd goes wild, and there is much rejoicing! "HILL-A-RY! HILL-A-RY!"

Nancy Pelosi asks for a second--many cheers.

She asks for an aye vs. nay vote, lots of cheers for "Aye," and it's done.

And "Love Train" begins to play!

IT'S DONE!!!!!!

[Berry Cool]

11. The interesting thing is, she never released her delegates.

She just asked for a unanimous vote to suspend the roll call. All the votes will be counted, the ones for her included--as a big fat formality so everyone can say they got their say. Whatever!

The point is, Obama is nominated by unanimous acclimation, he's accepted the nomination (big surprise there) and it's over. No more drama!

Good night, PUMAs! So long, Operation Chaos! Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!

[Berry Cool]

12. Black people on the floor are crying.

God, what a moment for this country. I feel privileged to have seen it.

[SeattleGirl]

13. Actually, she met with her delegates earlier today, and released them.

I heard the audio of it on Randi's show.

[Berry Cool]

14. But if she released them, how come they still cast votes?

Is that still a choice they get to make, according to the rules?

It is quite interesting that some states appear to have deliberately chosen to make their votes unanimous. I don't know--did they choose that or are they winner-take-all states?

[Berry Cool]

15. Finally got to see Keith after all this time--given that I started late.

Looks like he has a new stripey tie with his blue shirt. Looks wonderful.

Going on and on about how it's a historic moment, and being wonky and saying Obama isn't "officially" the nominee according to the rules until he concludes his acceptance speech! :rofl:

Love you, Keith. :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

17. Gotta give the mad props to Hillary tonight.

She orchestrated this whole thing with grace and class. Wasn't sure she had it in her, I admit it. But she's thinking bigger and long-term. Good.

Now if the Big Dog delivers the kind of speech he can deliver, that will be the cherry on the cake.

[Patsy Stone]

43. They may do what they wish. n/t

[SharonRB]

31. She released them earlier in the day n/t

[Patsy Stone]

41. She released them earlier in the day

at a lunch thing, IIRC.

[Berry Cool]

80. Already got the word on her earlier-in-the-day release from SG.

:rofl: Obviously, some of them did not wish to be released. *sigh*

[Patsy Stone]

84. Yep

They came to make it all about them. Saw that others responded to you earlier. I was just reading and typing, and I'm a little slow on the uptake today. :)

[Berry Cool]

135. 'Sallright.

:-)

[Patsy Stone]

40. Only slightly better than

"the home of Derek Jeter". :)

[WolverineDG]

16. "How historic it could have been?"

Hey, Schumer, you asshat, it IS historical!! When have we ever had a minority candidate for president from a major party????? :grr:

blah blah blah bill still thinks it's all about him too..... :eyes:

dg

[Berry Cool]

18. See, MSNBC is not so bad.

We didn't have to listen to Chucky Duckie.

[Berry Cool]

19. Wrong about Keith's tie, I guess.

Up close, it looks like one he's worn a million times.

He's supposed to interview Jimmy Carter later.

[Patsy Stone]

20. So bummed I missed the roll call

But let's hear it for Bill and Biden! :toast:

Have Keith and Chris gotten into it yet tonight? :hi:

[Berry Cool]

23. Not from what I have seen so far.

Now here comes Pat Puke-Cannon to throw cold water on the roll call!

[Patsy Stone]

25. C-SPAN is my friend.

I couldn't believe it last night when Chris wanted to keep Steny waiting so he could bloviate some more. What a tool.

[WolverineDG]

24. I saw that last night

Chris was in full "Zell Miller" mode last night. "You wanna duel?"

dg

[SeattleGirl]

26. Here, Pats. Video from when Hil called for Barack to be the nominee:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x176382

Great moment!

[Patsy Stone]

38. Thanks very much!

I had a great time in Washington, but I'm so sad I wasn't in Seattle long enough to meet you. Just flew in and drove right out to Bellingham.

I did see an Ivar's or two and think about you (and Botany) though. :hi:

Did you get the results of the elbow check yet?

[SeattleGirl]

42. No results yet.

The said it would be several days. Hopefully by tomorrow. :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

49. Well, I hope it's just sore

and nothing more.

Oops. That rhymed. Sorry.

Aw, Melissa... :loveya:

Nice medley: God Bless America, The Times They Are A-Changin', Give Peace a Chance.

[SharonRB]

51. Born in the USA now

I love me some Melissa!

[SeattleGirl]

52. Doc thinks I strained a tendon. Doesn't think there's anything

broken; the x-rays were to make sure.

And yes, Melissa! :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

63. Great news.

:toast:

[SharonRB]

21. I've been watching on the 'span

Too much punditry on MSNBC. I'm sacrificing KO -- I'd rather hear the speeches.

[Berry Cool]

29. I can understand that, Sha-Sha.

But :hi: hi anyway.

Pat thinks we didn't need the drama. Nora says why we have it: "We have a 24-hour news cycle." Everyone laughs and the crowd cheers. Michelle Bernard agrees, and pisses me off. She's saying the "disunity in the party is obvious" and "This should have been about Obama, but it's about Hillary."

Nonsense, says Gene. Good for Gene.

[Berry Cool]

30. Oh no, Joey Scars is on now.

If all he says is "This is history," we'll be lucky.

"We saw an evolution of Hillary Clinton." OK, OK.

[RevCheesehead]

68. Did he have his shovel with him?

:evilgrin:

[Berry Cool]

82. Keith would have given him one if he lacked it.

[WolverineDG]

35. See my post below on Michele's comment

it makes no sense for people to yell "Barack" when they see Hillary. It would be like me yelling "Keith" if I saw George Clooney. :evilgrin:

dg

[SeattleGirl]

32. Same here, Sharon.

I've heard some good speeches on C-SPAN that aren't on MSNBC.

I'm a total political/convention geek, and am loving this!

[SharonRB]

34. So am I

There are plenty of other times to see Keith. The convention only happens for four days.

[SeattleGirl]

39. Melissa Etheridge is coming up after Rockefeller!

I love listening to her sing!

[Patsy Stone]

33. Manny Diaz!

Wow. Who knew? :hi:

[WolverineDG]

27. Sooo, when people see Hillary they're supposed to say Barack?

:wtf: kind of logic is that, bitch?

dg

[Patsy Stone]

45. She sucks

She's an "Independent" with leanings towars the RW.

[ralps]

37. Hi BerryBush, Hi Everyone! I'm listening to the HORN! Here's the link if you all

are interested- http://headonradionetwork.com/ Edit They're in Denver too!

57. Good to see you too, darlin'

Melissa Etheridge is giving me goodbumps! w00t!

[Patsy Stone]

53. Do you look like this?

You passed up drniking for us? Go ahead and pour yourself one now. We'll toast with ya!

:hi: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

59. Only on the inside.

I'm headed for the Raspberry Smirnoff Ice. :beer:

:hi: :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

54. Hi ralps, Pats and Rev!!

:hi: :hi: :hi: And thanks for your sacrifice, Rev! :hug:

I know I can see Keith anytime, but I have only so much of a stomach for speechifying. I look forward to the moments when Keith says something clever or someone else says something dumb and gets a smackdown from Keith or Rachel. I can watch the speeches on YouTube if I want to.

[RevCheesehead]

60. I'm loving seeing Jimmy Carter!

He looks as good as ever!

:hi:

[ralps]

56. Hi RevCheesehead, Crook & I are doing good & Hi to Oreo, CC & lil' Keith! Hugs was

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :grouphug:

[RevCheesehead]

62. And Oreo sends her love back to ya!

The other two are up to something - they're nowhere to be seen. :evilgrin:

:hi::hug:

[ralps]

58. Melissa Ethridge just sang!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[SeattleGirl]

61. And sang well!

:loveya:

[ralps]

71. Hi SeattleGirl!!! Yes She did! are you listening to the HORN??

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[SeattleGirl]

74. Watching C-SPAN

Have been for most of the convention.

[Botany]

66. Making me proud!

We are the majority by a large % ..... let us get to work and make sure the vote is counted.

So nice to see M.E. up there singing.

[ralps]

73. Hi Botany, Hugs

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :hug:

[Botany]

77. Did I ever tell all of you that you are my Fav?

Please don't tell the others ..... you know how they can be :scared:

[Berry Cool]

75. Hi Bot!

:loveya: Damn, Ohio never got to vote. :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

64. When I see Harry Reid

I can never decide whether to laugh or cry.

[SharonRB]

65. I'm skipping him

Back to MSNBC for a little while.

Richard Wolffe is talking about how Bill will never keep it to 10 minutes. I totally concur.

[Patsy Stone]

70. Doing picture-in-picture

I forgot I had that. Now when KO is on screen I can flip over.

I was shocked when I saw that Bill was at 9 and John Kerry was at 9:15. My first thought was: there's no way he won't go over. :)

[SharonRB]

83. Duh!

I forgot -- I have it, too. I never use it. Guess I will now.

Nope -- no way, no how, will Bill keep it to 10 or 15 minutes.

[Patsy Stone]

121. What do they have planned between

9:30 (or so, after JK) and 10:30, anyway? That sounds like open time for Bill to run long. It takes him about 10 minutes just to say hello.

[SharonRB]

124. I have a feeling they left some wiggle room in there for him

[SeattleGirl]

67. Same here, Patsy.

:rofl: or:cry:

[SharonRB]

69. Tweety really needs some hair spray,

[Patsy Stone]

76. He looks four years old

and quite like Dennis the Menace.

[RevCheesehead]

78. Or Calvin...

but without the charm.

[Patsy Stone]

79. Would that make Keith

Hobbes?

[RevCheesehead]

81. The intellectual, philosophical, and practical one?

Oh, yeah! :bounce::bounce:

[Botany]

85. Did I ever tell you that you are my very Fav?

Tweety

[RevCheesehead]

97. Cuddles!!

You'll always be my Favre! :hug::loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

86. Hehe. I had the same thought tonight when I saw him!

[SharonRB]

87. Exactly!

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

90. Something like:

[SharonRB]

72. I saw in a Twitter message from one of the bloggers I know

who's there that T. Boone Pickens was there in the Big Tent.

[Berry Cool]

88. Keith asks Tammy Duckworth how Mr. POW supports the vets, and she tells the real story.

Good for her!

[SeattleGirl]

89. Looking forward to hearing her speak tonight!

[Berry Cool]

116. Anyone else see this story?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3864502

Seems MSNBC got Rachel and the gang a big honkin' tricked-out stretch limo to ride around in to celebrate Rachel's new show. Keith, like a little boy, took pictures of it.

[ralps]

91. Yay!! they showed a little of Melissa!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Patsy Stone]

92. Okay... "Eye of the Tiger"?

What a cheesy music choice.

[RevCheesehead]

100. Hey!

*I* didn't choose it! :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

123. You sound like Randi.

All she does is complain about the music being played. :rofl: Although now that Melissa played she'll have to make an exception.

[Berry Cool]

120. Yeah, and she almost got drowned out by the sirens outside the MSNBC booth.

She sounded good!

[SharonRB]

93. Madeline!

Looks like she lost some weight.

[Patsy Stone]

96. I didn't know she was from Denver

I learn something every day.

[SharonRB]

99. Me neither.

Uh oh, Evan Bayh said "My friends." Good thing Barack didn't pick him.

[Patsy Stone]

101. I'm Evan Bayh

and I am not running for Vice President of the United States. :)

[SharonRB]

102. He's sure no Joe Biden!

[Patsy Stone]

103. I'm so happy it's Joe

I'm really looking forward to his speech. Even more than the Big Dog's.

[SharonRB]

104. Me, too

Although maybe after Bill's speech, if he does it right, I might not be mad at him anymore.

[Patsy Stone]

106. This is what I'm hoping.

I need to go back to loving him.

[SharonRB]

107. Love may take a while

Like is what I'm hoping for tonight. Baby steps.

[Patsy Stone]

109. :)

I hear ya sister. I guess I'm easier than you are. (Don't tell Bot.):)

[SharonRB]

111. Well, he could surprise me and knock my socks off

It wouldn't be the first time. (But the socks is as far as I'll go!)

[Patsy Stone]

105. p.s. Meet your psychic space twin:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x6779797

[Botany]

94. Just a note of thanx

And when things were looking darkest for Barack Obama 1st
Ohio and then Texas swinging to Hillary but who rode in to save the
day? A Tex Ass EDV aka DG

She held onto that cacus and made sure things were on the up & up .....

Years from now little kids will read their history web text and learn the
story of the EDV and how Obama turned the tide and became 44th
President of the United States.

[WolverineDG]

110. You forgot about Crispy

she helped too, up in Dallas.

dg

[Patsy Stone]

113. Excellent to read those cases are being dropped.

A big BOOOOOOOO! to the state of Texas on this one. :hi:

[WolverineDG]

223. No kidding, Pats!!!

:hi:

dg

[Botany]

114. Sorry the 2 EDVs who saved America

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

95. Why does MSNBC think this RW tool (and the guy who isn't Harold Ford)

are more important than Madeleine Albright?

[SharonRB]

98. I'm glad she's speaking

Excellent choice to talk about his qualifications on the international front.

[Berry Cool]

126. The New York Pest tells us Keith didn't want that jerk on the air with him.

Of course, they made Keith sound terrible for it. I don't blame him one bit.

Oh, and their latest lie is that Keith is trying to get Brokaw fired. Yeah, right. Next they'll tell us he's trying to get Immelt fired.

[SharonRB]

108. DeeDee Meyers knows there's no way Bill will only take 10 minutes

[Botany]

112. Dance Party

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65I0HNvTDH4

[bleever]

128. Never give you up.

Cuz I don't know how to quit you.

[Botany]

143. Good Company is a Gift

[SharonRB]

115. Michelle!

sitting with Theresa Heinz!

[Berry Cool]

130. and heeeeeere's the Big Dog

to the tune of "Don't Stop."

Maybe instead it should've been that old Glass Tiger song "Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone."

OK, Bill. Step up to the plate and swing for the fences.

[bleever]

117. Tom Daschle is wearing his mild-mannered alter ego glasses.

Either that, or he got them in a box of cereal.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

118. Bill's up next.

:hi:

[bleever]

160. You missed his birthday!

We talked about it in the clubhouse while you were gone. :)

[SharonRB]

164. It's the same day as Patsy's

I remembered hers, but totally forgot it was his until after the fact.

[Patsy Stone]

178. I saw!

and I thanked you (from both of us).

What a marvelous speech! And how great was John Kerry? :toast:

[SharonRB]

119. Here we go!

Fasten your seatbelts.

:popcorn:

[Patsy Stone]

127. He's already two minutes late.

:)

[WolverineDG]

133. That means he's on time

;)

dg

[SharonRB]

122. Jennifer Garner is in da house

I assume Ben's with her.

[Patsy Stone]

125. Kendrick Meek

introduces the Big Dog.

[SharonRB]

129. Couldn't they even play Fleetwood instead of this knock-off?

Geez!

[Patsy Stone]

132. Who is the house band from hell?

Isn't there a cruise ship somewhere with an empty stage at the Pirate's Cove?

[Berry Cool]

137. I think that's the official live "house band" of the convention playing.

Whenever you hear a cheesy rendition of a song, it's them.

They also play weddings, sweet 16s and bar mitzvahs.

[Patsy Stone]

181. Please

see my post above yours. :)

[SharonRB]

131. I saw a rumor on another thread that

Barack is going to show up and he and Bill are going to embrace. That will sure bring down the house!

Oooooooh he said it!

[RevCheesehead]

142. Somebody on NPR speculated about that this afternoon.

They said he'd probably come and embrace Joe, but the commentator said it would go a long way in healing if he came out and embraced Bill.

I say, hugs all around! :grouphug:

[SharonRB]

134. I think his ten minutes are up

Yeah, right. That'll happen.

He's doing great so far.

[SeattleGirl]

136. He's definitely doing great!

[SharonRB]

138. I may be falling in love again

:loveya:

[Berry Cool]

140. He said about three times "Barack Obama is ready to be president of the United States"

just in case anyone on Fox missed it the first two times.

Another Repug talking point bites the dust!

I guess we know what the headlines will be tomorrow!

[Patsy Stone]

184. All of the speakers are on that track

It's national security night. Most of the people they've had speaking are miltary or ex-military, praising his judgement and ability to be CIC.

[SeattleGirl]

141. Me too.

I loved his line that the world has always been more impressed by the power of our example rather than the example of our power.

GREAT LINE, BILL!!!

[Berry Cool]

153. That one was a winner.

The man just knows how to turn a phrase.

It's so good to hear guys talking who KNOW how to talk... *sigh*

[Botany]

139. Damn I miss the big dog

Articulate and on point ..... the man has a gift.

Way to call out the repugs!

[Berry Cool]

144. Professor Bill is takin' 'em to school.

First, define the problems and how the Repugs are not solving them...then say McCain does NOT have the solution because he represents nothing but more of his party's failed policies. The same ones they have followed ever since Reagan.

[Berry Cool]

145. He laid it out plain and simple for the undecideds who may be watching.

"You want more of the same crap we've had for eight years? That's what you'll get with McCain."

That's my condensed version of it, anyway.

Compares Obama to himself...says they called him inexperienced, but it didn't work because "we were on the right side of history" and so is Obama! Who represents the American Dream!

[Berry Cool]

147. I also have to say, Bill looks healthier than he has in a long time.

They really prepped him for this, and I guess he prepped himself.

[Botany]

156. He is one of the best speakers ever

The man is sharp

[SharonRB]

146. This is the old Bill I knew and loved

Not the fake one out on the campaign trail.

[Botany]

152. I miss the Big Dog

Best speech in years

Gore then Kerry .... Damn what have we missed.

[SharonRB]

148. 25 mnutes

[RevCheesehead]

149. OK, Big Dawg, I forgive you... again.

:loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

150. Me too, Rev. Me too.

Forgave Hil after her kick-ass speech last night too.

[RevCheesehead]

155. Yup - I guess we're just in a reconciling mood!

Jesus would be proud! O8)

[SeattleGirl]

161. Yes, he would.

I could never carry a grudge very long anyway.

[RevCheesehead]

163. That's just one of the many reasons....

...why I love you. :hug::loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

171. Awwwww, Rev.

The feeling is mutual. :loveya: :hug:

[Berry Cool]

162. Yep, me too...

...and. no doubt, Keith is sighing a big sigh of relief tonight. He didn't like the Clintons of the past eight months any better than the rest of us.

[Botany]

154. You can see him rolling in @ 2:00 AM w/ lipstick on his collar ....

.... but still the women take him back.

[RevCheesehead]

157. Yeah...

He's just too good to keep to one person. :P

[Botany]

166. The man is smooth

true big dog story

198? u.s. Dept of AG

a reporter who I got to know and a Dept of Ag person were in a room
the reporter told the Dept of Ag person that a youn "hot shot" named
Clinton was coming in and acted like he knew everything about Pacfic
Rim trading .... the Dept. of Ag person tried to catch up Bill Clinton.

No notes or nothing Bill Drops a 15 minute lecture on the Pacfic Rim,
Ag futures, and hog prices .... then walks out of the room.

The 2 look @ each other and say "He is gonna be President."

We went from Bill to W ..... :cry:

[SharonRB]

151. Chevy Chase is in da house

[RevCheesehead]

158. "This isn't a convention - - it's a quest!"

"A quest for fun!"

[Berry Cool]

159. He's at the convention, and you're not.

Just hope he doesn't trip over anything.

[Berry Cool]

165. Ah, Keith looks lovely in the twilight...

'Tis l'heure bleu in Denver...he looked gorgeous in it.

Kerry's talking now, but if you want to hear him, best go to C-SPAN.

[RevCheesehead]

169. Already there...

"Senator McCain" vs. "Candidate McCain"

"Are you kidding me? Talk about being for it before you're against it... Before John McCain debates Barack Obama, he should finish the debate with himself!" :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

192. So many zingers

so little time. JK: :yourock:

[Berry Cool]

174. Wow, Keith just looks lovely right now

and do you think Rachel is popular with the crowd or what???

I hope Pat says some more stupid things so they can boo him again and cheer her.

[bleever]

167. OUR TOP STORY TONIGHT:

"John McCain promises to confront Generalissimo Francisco Franco."

[RevCheesehead]

170. "and both are still dead."

:evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

183. And I saw Tim Daly too

It's a celebfest!

[SharonRB]

168. LOL

"Talk about being for it before being against it!"

:rofl:

Kerry's doing a great job pointing out all of McSame's flip flops.

[SeattleGirl]

[Patsy Stone]

179. Spectacular line

And I do love Bill again. :)

[SharonRB]

173. Tonight is by far the best night of the convention

Every speaker is on fire!

[GigiMommy]

175. Hi Everyone!!!

:hi: :bounce: Thought I'd check in for a little bit of normalcy.

[RevCheesehead]

176. Hi, Gigi!

I don't know about "normal" - but you get us as we are. :P

:hi: :bounce:

[GigiMommy]

187. Hi Rev!!!

:hi: This feels normal compared to all the stuff with Grandma's funeral (which is tomorrow). I had to write the death notice for the Detroit Free Press. I'll be glad when it's over and I can sit back and remember.

[RevCheesehead]

189. I'll keep you close in prayer tomorrow.

May you find peace and comfort in your faith. :hug:

[Berry Cool]

209. Me too.

[GigiMommy]

220. Thank you too.

:hug:

[GigiMommy]

218. Thank you.

:hug:

[SeattleGirl]

177. Hi Gigi!

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[GigiMommy]

191. Hi SG!!!!

:hi: :bounce: One of Cassie's fav shows is "I Carly" and today she says..."Mom! Carly lives in Seattle and that's where Seattle Girl lives too!":)

[SeattleGirl]

200. Awwwwww!

Give her a big ol' hug for me! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Berry Cool]

180. Hi GGM!!

:hi: Why did they have to bring Mike Murphy and Harold Ford back? Thank goodness, the crowd is big enough now to boo them when they say something idiotic!

[Berry Cool]

182. Mike Murphy just said Obama is inexperienced

and when the crowd began to boo, said "Sorry, biased one-note crowd!"

Oh man, does that man need to be bitchslapped but good.

[Berry Cool]

185. Mike Murphy needs to get OFF THE AIR!

Keith is right: "Let's WRAP HIM UP, ALL RIGHT????"

The crowd HATES him! He said Hillary will vote for McCain and all the smart money says it! Even Tweety knows it's "ad copy for the Republican campaign"!

He yells at the crowd: "You are so in the tank this should be in a submarine!"

HELLO YOU IDIOT...IT'S THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION!!!!!!! WHAT DID YOU EXPECT...A CROWD OF REPUBLICANS??????? :grr:

[Berry Cool]

188. Tweety just delivered the SMACKDOWN on Mike Murphy! GO TWEETY!!!!!!

I'm lovin' it!!!!!

[GigiMommy]

196. Hi Berry!!!

:hi: :bounce: Sounds like it's a party over there.

[RevCheesehead]

186. Tammy Duckworth's up now.

[SeattleGirl]

190. I love Tammy!

I think Obama should appoint her head of the VA when he's elected!

[RevCheesehead]

193. That's a brilliant idea, SG!

"Barack knows you need more than a banner and a borrowed flight suit..."

:patriot:

[SeattleGirl]

195. I would so love to see that!

Been paying attention to Tammy since she first ran for office.

[Berry Cool]

194. If you were watching C-SPAN, you may be hearing some great speeches

but you missed Mike Murphy acting like an ass claiming Hillary would get in the privacy of the voting booth and pick McCain...and getting his ass handed to him by the crowd AND by Tweety!

Now it's time for Pat to get smacked down again..."John McCain has skated free all week...The reaction to Bill Clinton was listless at the end...No one is delivering the red meat!"

The crowd still hates him!!!!

Oh, Joe Biden, come on and make him look REALLY dumb!!!!!

[Patsy Stone]

197. I wish I had seen that

But I saw Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw instead.

[RevCheesehead]

203. And Tom Hanks.

At least, on video. :)

[GigiMommy]

204. Hi Patsy!!!

:hi: :bounce:

[RevCheesehead]

198. I'm sure someone will post a video.

I'll be looking forward to it. :)

[SharonRB]

199. Pat Pukeanan is a dipshit

Someone did talk about Gitmo. I don't remember if it was Kerry or someone else, but they said Barack and Biden will get it closed.

[Patsy Stone]

201. Looks like Bill Richardson got bumped.

We're on to the Joe film now.

[SharonRB]

207. Oh, you're right

Must have been Bill's way of getting back at him for endorsing Barack! :rofl:

[SharonRB]

202. Beau Biden is hot!

I've never seen him before.

[GigiMommy]

213. Hi Sharon!!

:hi: :bounce: This is really exciting!!!

[SharonRB]

216. Hi, Gigi

Yes, it is.

I'm sure you're welcoming the break. My thoughts are with you and your family as you get through what I know is a dfficult time for you.

[GigiMommy]

222. Thank you.

:hug:

[SharonRB]

205. I'm verklempt again from that video

I'm so happy Joe's going to be VP.

[Berry Cool]

211. OK, Tailgunner Joe, bring it!

Keith says Obama just drove by them to the Pepsi Center!!!!

[SharonRB]

206. Not a dry eye in the house

And none here in my family room either.

Wexler is crying. Michelle and Jill are both crying.

[SeattleGirl]

208. Same here.

[SharonRB]

210. That was a beautiful intro

The tears are streaming down my face.

[SeattleGirl]

214. When he came out and gave Beau that bear hug.....

:cry:

[Patsy Stone]

219. Oh, yes.

Another three hanky night. I loved his mother telling the people next to her that the story about bloodying the kid's nose was true.

[SharonRB]

212. Barack is en route to the Pepsi Center!

[Berry Cool]

[bleever]

I vote for Joe's mom, after tonight's incredible presentation.
