You're watching Virigina turn blue as we speak

[Joe the Revelator]

The DNC bet the keynote on Warner delivering VA. He's doing it, you're watching it, and Obama is going to get the benefit of it.

1. I didn't consider that but great, great point. nt

[bigwillq]

2. Then why are a lot of people saying

he is boring? :shrug: I am not watching the speech (at work) but it seems like some are saying it's boring and others are saying it's so good VA will turn blue. What's the dilly?

4. Passionate condemnation of McCain/Bush without sounding radical

[Joe the Revelator]

7. Because he's not talking to them, he's talking to VA

I watched him make this same sort of speech turn VA blue in '01 when everyone said it couldn't be done. This guy is amazingly effective in Virginia, and I can almost guarantee you that people back in my home state are eating this speech up.

12. Well that's a very good thing then!

:bounce:

[movonne]

13. A lot of trolls...

[bigwillq]

15. I guess so.

I'm trying to read a few threads and post a bit in between trying to get some work done at the office. Thanks for your comment. :hi:

3. Good point ! He'll get Warner's support on the trail, too ...

I think you may be right!

[BklynChick]

5. I think the speech is mediocre, but you're right this is all about Virginia

8. I don't know what you're talking about. This is vintage Warner. It sells awesome here in VA

I love the speech.

[sfam]

6. Warner RAWKS this state. I'm so thrilled to have him as a Senator!

He really is this good as an executive as well.

[Joe the Revelator]

10. He's been amazing for the state. Simply amazing.

[beac]

20. Me too.

I think he will pull our state for Obama as well!

9. From your mouth. . .

11. Rachel doesn't get it.

[Frances]

14. I do

I lived in Maryland and worked in Virginia for years. Even my friend's Repub daughter and husband voted Warner for Governor. Unfortunately, they voted Bush.

16. If Obama comes off as a post-partisan in VA, he will win...the pundits are wrong here..

Warner wasn't trying to get himself elected in VA (this was Tweedy's comment), he's trying to get Obama elected. Warner's already a shoe-in here.

[Cha]

18. That's right...Thanks

Virgina!

[Awsi Dooger]

22. Exactly

Chris Matthews fumbled that one, saying Warner's speech was designed to get him elected in Virginia. I wish I could have been there to laugh in Matthews' face.

That's one reason why I'm not as thrilled with Olbermann and Rachel as others here. Why aren't they inserting some reality, that Warner is a massive favorite in Virginia, trading above 90%? Olbermann heard Matthews from 2 inches away and didn't say a thing.

17. Warner's speech was excellent (n/t)

19. Virginia will be reporting early on Nov 4th, iy maybe the first of the illedged

red states to fall. Watch carefully, 9pm nov 4th.

[ContinentalOp]

21. Damn, VA must be REALLY boring.

Just kidding, I actually didn't watch the speech. Stream is not working for me at the moment :( I'm really concerned about it to be honest.
