Three of the best speeches I've ever heard - in the same night.

Deval Patrick, Julian Castro, and our first lady Michelle Obama all had absolutely *blockbuster* speeches. On the same night. Absolutely amazing.

Here's her site: Tammy Duckworth for Congress. After all, she's in a real battle for a Congressional seat against a real douche tea bag. The district is a mixed bag as well. If she wins, it's a gain in the House for the Dems.

She needs some DU love. Some of us are committed to supporting her.

Look for an OP coming up.

In the meantime, give until it hurts. I know that I will.

I think Deval Patrick may well be president someday. And Michelle Obama certainly could do it, too.

Michelle/Hillary 2016? Hillary/Michelle 2016?

Wouldn't that be something?

MAN we have bench strength! Even our Dem wives are barn-burners!
