Let's remember, shall, we, the great speeches from the DNC.
Edited on Tue Aug-31-04 11:33 PM by gauguin57
Big Dawg. Hillary. Jimmy Carter. Al Gore. Ted Kennedy. Barack Obama. Ilana Wexler (Kids for Kerry). Dennis Kucinich (if you missed it, I'm sorry for you). Wisconsin Rep. Tammy Baldwin. N.J. Rep. Robert Menendez. Ohio Rep. Stephanie Tubbs-Jones. Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley. Max Cleland.

John & Eliz. and Cate Edwards. Heinz boys, Kerry girls. Theresa. John Kerry.

They talked about the ISSUES ... they didn't spew war lies and economic lies ... and wrap themselves in jingoistic American hubris.

ON EDIT: and Al Sharpton and Wesley Clark.

Bollocks on the Republicans!!!!!!!!!!!

2. Don't forget Al Sharpton
As much as I dislike the guy, he gave one hell of a good speech that helped Kerry immensely. Charged, firey, furious, just like a good preacher should preach.

Kerry's team needs some of that fire when they hit back at Bush in the coming weeks.

7. Democrats speeches won the convention status....
hands down, so please don't take the media's word for the repubs speakers outdoing the Dems, didn't happen, not in this century anyway....

How the openly very right handed commentary about the better speechess can one hope to get away with and be taken seriously?

8. That was a great convention
Maybe I'm just too new to this whole thing, but the DNC was a great event. I guess if you watch 10 of them, they're all the same to you, but to me, it was a glorious week.

My favourite speeches in order:

1) John Kerry

2) Jimmy Carter

3) Al Sharpton

4) Barack Obama

5) Bill Clinton

6) Kerry girls

10. We Dems really had some great speeches
with real material in them. We weren't blabbering about being economic girlie men or calling Richard Nixon a breath of fresh air. The media is doing especially great whorring tonight, unbelievable.
