[burythehatchet]

2. Rendell Up. Fingers crossed.

[BumRushDaShow]

3. ...

[burythehatchet]

5. He can be a really good attack dog. We need him.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

7. He's doing a good job tonight.

Knocking down McCain!

[BumRushDaShow]

18. He has spent the past week undermining Obama.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

We DON'T need him or anyone with the DLC stench. Biden can be the attack dog.

[Ichingcarpenter]

24. Well, no argument, I'm just glad

he is doing a good job right now talking about the good things the Obama administration will bring.

[BumRushDaShow]

29. And thank goodness for that.

Let's hope that tomorrow, he doesn't show up at yet another wingnut-owned media outlet and continue on with more underhanded disparaging remarks about the presumptive nominee.

[marlakay]

4. i know one can only hope....nt

[GrizzlyMan]

8. Rendell's speech is going over like a wet fart in church

[ncrainbowgrrl]

14. hah. Finally getting some applause.

I think people just tuned him out on sight.

[LSparkle]

6. Rendell is a scrapper ... looking forward to some good red meat here

[Ichingcarpenter]

9. He's killing McCain and doing a great job

Great Attack dog on McCain

[ncrainbowgrrl]

12. The only thing he'll recycle...

[Ichingcarpenter]

17. So far so good and he's giving Obama kudos

I'm happy with it, Are the networks covering it?

[ncrainbowgrrl]

21. I'm very happy with this speech.

I was a little scared when he started.

[mzmolly]

10. Rendell takin it to McCain!

[mvd]

19. Love the way he mentions McSame's tax breaks for oil companies

[mzmolly]

25. Matthews just made a good point about our needing to mention Cheney and his secret oil exec.

meetings. A great idea on his part.

[marlakay]

11. he's better if he stays against mccain than to talk

about obama because it wouldn't be from his heart.

[LSparkle]

13. Wow -- I didn't know Rendell wore glasses! He must need them for the prompter ...

Still, you gotta love that voice -- reminds me
of Bud Abbott (of A&C).

[mvd]

16. Dennis's speech really brought the red meat!

He fired me and the crowd up.

Looking forward to the speeches tonight.

[Ichingcarpenter]

20. Dennis' speech is a must hear speech

for all democrats. I thought it was among the best so far.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

23. agreed- I was eating dinner

and nearly choked from getting excited and cheering!

[goodgd_yall]

42. It was the best so far

Got the crowd stirred up too. Wake up, America! Up with the Democratic Party! He was great!!!

[LSparkle]

22. OMG -- a musical interlude? UGH ... unless it's Michael Frante/Spearhead,

SPARE ME!

I do wish the delegates would be quiet and pay some
attention to the speaker, though. I don't remember
the networks providing so much ambient sound when I
watched convention coverage as a kid (or maybe dele-
gates were just more respectful back then) ...

Yeah, yeah, '68 DOESN'T COUNT!

[NashVegas]

34. Alejandro Rocks!

He used to be with Rank & File way back when.

I know what you mean about the delegates, though.

Speaker: "Americans are hurting ..."
Delegates: "Murmurmurmurmurmur ..."

Speaker: "The next POTUSA, Barack OBAMA!"
Delegates: "Yaaaaaay"

[LSparkle]

36. Good -- I didn't know who he was ... as long as he's not "Up w/People"!

We're expecting that in St. Paul ...

[LSparkle]

26. LOVE KO's "I couldn't possibly comment" line ...

Spoken by Prime Minister Francis Urquardt of ...
HELP! I know the series was on PBS but I can't
remember the name ... ???

[ncrainbowgrrl]

27. Tammy Baldwin up now. Boring speech, imho.

[Ichingcarpenter]

28. Yeah, that was not inspiring, she was right about health care

but she needs some pointers on delivery and execution.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

30. her vocal inflections...not so much.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

31. John Sweeney is a Horrible speaker. Eek.

[Ichingcarpenter]

32. HIs voice sounds like a comedic Jewish complaining mother routine

Just deliver the votes please and not a speech.

No offensive to anyone

[Cha]

37. It doesn't matter..he is who is and his words

were riveting if you listen to them. It's ALL Good!

[Owl]

33. Robin Golden was great!

[Thrill]

35. The networks are completely sabotaging the Convention

I don't know how Obama is going to win with this media

[NashVegas]

38. I'm Watching C-Span and It's Just Fine

Really. Why does anyone watch the bloaters?

[YvonneCa]

45. I agree. Other than a quick check now and then to see...

...their spin tactics (for fighting purposes ) C-Span1 is the place to be.

[RepublicanElephant]

39. yeah.

media "mis-coverage" of obama working with crooked voting machines to steal the election.

notice how the media keeps pushing these polls that show a virtual tie between obama and mccain?
yeah, right. how many people do you know who are voting mccain?
are there as many as voting for obama?

right.

[YvonneCa]

41. I agree. So turn them off and watch C-Span...

...or stream it.

[RepublicanElephant]

47. i'm trying to do both....

...watch the convention live on c-span, then watch msnbc's repeat coverage later tonite (only to see keith and rachel).

[YvonneCa]

48. That's what I did...

...last night, too. Besides, you miss all the great music if you don't watch C-Span.

[livetohike]

40. We have the best music

[Ichingcarpenter]

43. Yes we do.... I liked his set tonight.

Can't wait to see the Boss do his gig.

[goodgd_yall]

44. Yes, we do!

[Ichingcarpenter]

46. That's a hell of a camera it looks 60 years old

[Ichingcarpenter]

49. Hoyer is nailing McCain with the Country club economics and 7 houses deal

Pretty good speech and also giving kudos to obama.

[RepublicanElephant]

50. when do we replace hoyer with a progressive dem?

i'm sure pelosi would appreciate it.

[Ichingcarpenter]

51. Gov. Napolitano is a tough cookie and great speaker

I'm glad she is on our side.

[RepublicanElephant]

52. duke energy?

isn't he a bush/cheney friend?

[Ichingcarpenter]

53. Duke is not as bad as I thought

It has some blemishes but not as bad many others.
Mainly the normal South American bull shit that almost all corporations
do down there

[RepublicanElephant]

54. another gop'er at the convention.

endorsing obama!

[Barack_America]

55. Wow. I never realized how devastating those mill closings are.

It just hit home for me.

I like Gloria Craven.

She did a great job.

[cwydro]

56. So about what time is Hillary?

I may have missed it in the thread.

Thanks in advance.

[Phoonzang]

57. Err....Sebellius shouldn't try dissing people...

It just isn't very effective.

[goodgd_yall]

58. Sebelius

I think she needs lessons in modulating her voice (especially if she wants a chance to get into the executive office). I like WHAT she's saying, but her voice is almost a monotone.

[goodgd_yall]

59. Kick

C'mon, folks, all together now!
