"Feel the Bern" was actually a foreshadowing of Bernie's ultimate plot to burn down the DNC with wildfire.

BERN THEM ALL! BERN THEM ALL! BERN THEM ALL!

There's no good place to post this, but PPP will have an Ohio poll out in an hour or so, which they rate as a "6 on the anticipated Democratic freak out meter." However, when someone asked if that meant Trump leading by 5-8 points, they responded: " Haha if it was that I'd rate the anticipated Democratic freak out meter a lot higher than a 6". So it seems like their poll will most likely show a very slight Trump lead.

The party of the Clinton dynasty is ironically rolling out a Roosevelt now and will have a Kennedy later. The party of the people!

One man and his wife does not a dynasty make.

The GOP trots out the parents of people lost in combat to rail on Hillary and the Dems trot out a disabled person to rail on Trump. 

This is a person speaking for herself, not a woman dishonoring the memory of her son.

Hmm I wonder what he means by this...

If Cory Booker is the future of the Democratic Party, they have no future! I know more about Cory than he knows about himself.

You know it's an effective endorsement of Clinton when Jill Stein starts freaking out:

Is Bernie Sanders going to acknowledge that his voters were disenfranchised by Clinton & DNC's rigged primary? #DemsInPhilly

Should we be watching CNN or something over CSPAN to get a more accurate read on how this is all being spun?

Apparently Bill's speech tonight might be longer than an hour. This'll be good. Hopefully he plays the sax.

What time is the roll call vote happening?

I would also like to know this, can't seem to find the time anywhere.

NYT says it's expected around 6.

There's some uproar about an all-gender bathrooms at the DNC. I won't be so comfortable in an all gender bathroom.

http://nypost.com/2016/07/26/dnc-creates-a-gender-neutral-bathroom-for-attendees/

So then don't go in that bathroom. Then you won't be uncomfortable. Problem solved.

But how do we explain this to our CHILDREN?!

So far so good, looks like they may have solved the volume problem.

Harkin seems older than I expected. Not sure why.

Harkin said "Hillary Clinton" and there was no booing, looks like we may have a normal convention night!

Harkin did just accidentally say "Bill-Hillary Clinton" so there is that...

A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself. HEY DONALD! *Swings axe*

Are they Nominating Bernie or Hillary?

Both, but only one gets to accept the nomination.

Most disabled people I know don't even like the ADA.

And most Republicans I know aren't voting Trump. Yet extrapolating on both of those will probably fail us.
