1. All outstanding speeches and all outstanding women.

Thanks for posting this. Those gals burned down the house!

[NBachers]

2. Every one of 'em wowed me

And all the women in the audience- whatever their shape, size, age, preference, or nationality- they sure put the buzz in my blood.

[frazzled]

3. And kudos to DWS for putting on the best convention evah

Really, the most thematically coherent and best produced I've ever seen.

It was like ... Buttah!

[Tennessee Gal]

5. Yes, it was quite an achievement to put together something as

large as that event and have it run so smoothly. DWS deserves praise!

4. Love 'em all but Granholm brought the pain!

[Tennessee Gal]

6. Jennifer and Michelle were my two favorites for different reasons.

Jennifer had me laughing, applauding, and cheering!

Michelle had me tearing up in reaction to her heartfelt presentation. She also had me bursting with pride!

[Iris]

7. So, I guess the crazy FB meme about Caroline Kennedy hating Obama can go away now!

[jimlup]

8. Seen and loved most of them...

I've got to make a point to watch Jennifer Granholm's as I'm proud to say that she's my former Governor.

[longship]

9. I cannot measure which one was best.

Sister Simone Campbell held our consciences.

Jennifer Granholm held our outrage.

Gabby Gifford held our hearts.

Sandra Fluke held our sense of equal justice.

Caroline Kennedy held our sense of history.

Elizabeth Warren held our sense of economic justice.

Jill Biden held our educational imperatives.

And, Michelle Obama held the soul of an entire nation.

I couldn't have come up with a better list. These women embody the essence of the Democratic Party. Let nobody doubt it.

15. +1.

Lilly Ledbetter held our sense of equal pay for equal work.

Tammy Duckworth held our sense of gumption & can-do-ism despite difficult odds.

[longship]

17. Indeed. Shame on me for omitting them.

I am a huge Tammy Duckworth fan. And Lily Ledbetter.

I will punish myself for these oversights.
I deserve it.

Thanks for your contribution.

I am tempted to post this as a thread. Probably too late.

18. I watched Tulsi Gabbard speak yesterday on Chris Hayes' show on MSNBC.

She was impressive. Intelligent, rational and had a keen sense of the political world around her. I know that she is a former republican that changed to democrat once she got to view real war, but democrats need people like her running for office.
