The Republican mayor of Fairbanks is speaking!!

Also, it's weird that two Korean methodist reverends are speaking.  Kucinich too.

Pandering to people who live near me! Now I have to vote for Obama Wink

I guess there is 0% chance that the media would give coverage to anyone after Clinton and Warner's speeches end, the talking heads will just HAVE to talk about the Clinton drama.

I think it was a good idea to not make Clinton the keynote speaker, that way the press pays attention to two different speeches instead of just one.

Does anyone else think that Boxer died her hair for this?



Hillary's hair is looking blonder than I remember too.

Oh, she's 67 and has grandkids, so not a MILF.

According to Wolf and CNN, it's amazing that there are...what...ten women Democratic Senators? Wow!

CSPAN = better.

Only 1.85% of all senators throughout history have been female.  We have 16 female senators now, but 5 of them are Republicans.

They played so many generic American women rock songs.  Too bad they missed the Guess Who, "Momma let me be" one.

Started strong but now it is bureaucratic and boring and generic.

I like how she just treats everyone as if they voted for here.

She asks "Were you in this campaign just for me or for [people who need help]?" without prefacing it by specifying she's addressing her supporters.

It seems that she's treating herself as Harriot Tubman, freeing the slaves.  It seemed almost like she was saying that she was going to keep running for president by saying that she was going and needed to "keep going" like Harriot did when the police and dogs were near.  Is Obama the dog ruining Harriot Tubman's dream?

The speech seemed forced.  It was  the minimum she needed to do to not be accused of sabotaging Obama's campaign.
