Thursday Democratic National Convention running commentary thread

[exopolitician]

I thought Gore's speech was rather good.

And the set-up looks just like any other convention... it just happens to be outside.

I like the setup tonight better than the past few nights. I also thought Gore's speech was actually really good...Bill Richardsons "McCain pays hundreds of dollars for his shoes, but we have to pay for his flip-flops" was pretty amazing too.

Uhg...I hate that they are reading off parts of Obama's speech before he has even taken the stage. I had to mute my TV cause I didn't want to hear anything yet.

[exopolitician]

Oh U2 haha

[exopolitician]

"He had a childhood like any one elses'."

No he didn't!

Anyway, quick, McCain should announce his VP right now!

Mccain won't because he's not a douche, unlike you.

F UCK YOU.  Have a sense of humor, meathead.

Not funny but still he didn't need to call you a douche.

Nah it was appropriate.

What was that chant the audience was doing earlier?

BTW: "I'm not willing to take a 10% chance on change."  = Pure win

Eight is enough.

From a purely objective standpoint, this stadium thing isn't nearly as amazing as everyone thought it would be.

Who cares. Its not about the stadium...

[exopolitician]

Im liking the speech...a lot [so far].

[exopolitician]

I love the comments about how we need to put aside these nasty, partisan attacks when Obama started off his speech by tearing into McCain. Then he follows up his call for "change" with, "So let me tell you something, John McCain..."

He's either too weak to attack...or too vicious in attacking.

[exopolitician]

Great speech.
