Matthew Dowd

a perfect first night for the main character which is an empty suit..

just words..

Why has the country elected only two Democrats as President in the last 40 years? It’s very simple. The majority of the country is middle of the road, maybe a little bit to the right. The Democrats keep nominating very liberal candidates, too liberal for many Democrats. That’s why they lose. Democrats like me vote as Democrats for the Senate, Governor, etc. and we wind up voting Republican for President. Evan Bayh, Indiana, has said that he didn’t run for President because he’s too much of a centrist, and the activists in the Party always work to elect a liberal. That’s too bad, because as boring as he is, he would make a good president. And there’s no doubt in my mind that he’d be elected. Ordinary Democrats are hungry for a Democrat in the White House, and a Democratic Congress. That isn’t going to happen this time. I simply don’t understand why the ultra liberal wing of the Democratic Party doesn’t understand this. Centrist Democrats have a history of deserting the Party in favor of Republican candidates. How many times do we have to do it before the Democratic Party gets the message? RUN A CENTRIST DEMOCRAT INSTEAD OF A LEFT-WING SOCIALIST WANNABE, AND MIDDLE OF THE ROAD DEMOCRATS WILL SUPPORT THE PARTY

I ran a message parlor during my early teens in the early 1970's in Saigon. I saw no message last night but maybe on the last night there will be one with happy ending.

Re: Michelle's speech. I’m just glad Michelle didn’t tell the audience their souls were broken, and all they had to do to fix their broken souls was vote for her husband. That’s the kind of crap she used to say – until they gave her a make-over and told her to keep her mouth shut unless she had a script in front of her. She’s so much nicer now. Handlers and ad men can perform miracles, can’t they? They’ve turned two members of a radical, white-hating, America-hating church into Ozzie and Harriet, and the white-guilt liberals are eating it up like gravy over mashed potatoes. It’s a good thing not all Democrats are liberals, or suffer from white guilt syndrome.

lmao Obama: I'm here in St Louis: He was really in Kansas city lmao the dumbazz doesn't know where he is, its all over U TUBE

I, for one, was not moved by the Obama family and Michelle's speech.

I think they used his "personal" stuff too much. His family is interesting, typical, but nothing really admirable. Getting a Ivy degree, publishing books, getting promotion at your work, well, these are good, good for Obamas. But, how are all these good for the country?

I want to elect a leader who I can trust and feel confident about, but I don't see Obama being the one. He at the most appears an interesting and lucky person, for his rapid career rise. he hasn't earned everything.

Reluctant McCain Dem,

Ditto for me.

some people aren't looking to hear a message. you can find good or bad in any speech given. it's what your looking for! I haven't received an good answer for the reason we are in Iraq, the people living there don't want us there. We aren't any different than Russia bombing Georgia. Everyone has a purpose for their actions.
DNC's purpose is to irradicate us of the misery George Bush has inflicted upon us for the last 8years. It's like holding a poor person's head under water and daring them to breathe.
It's time for change. If Barack can't make it happen, God himself will have to come in the clouds and deliver us from this phenomenum. Most of us(the poor and middle class) can't stand any more of this evil power that prevails over us.

If two males had split the votes in the primary, there would be no doubt that they’d share the ticket. In this case, the woman who won 18 million votes was tossed aside in favor of a lousy candidate who couldn’t make it past Iowa. Now the Democrats expect the women in the party to line up like little soldiers and fall behind Jesus Obama, the new Messiah. Last night, a reporter asked Howard Dean about the Hillary supporters, he said, “Some people will never be satisfied.” What a chauvinistic statement to make! I will NOT line up like a good little Democrat behind a flawed candidate. I want to teach the Democratic Party a lesson – treat women like dirt, and pay the price. And don’t email me with this “Roe v. Wade will be overturned” garbage. I’m too old and too mad to care anymore. Bring on John McCain!!!!!!!!

Most of us our smart enough to deal with multiple messages and a different theme daily. Repetition and simplicity are geared toward lower cognitive functioning. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Unfortunately, it was impossible to spend Monday night focused on one THE WAR, THE POOR ECONOMY, and the policies that have caused our European partners to distrust us when the Republicans have spent the last 4 months using character assassination techniques to frighten voters about Michelle and Barack and play to their fears about African-Americans in general. Therefore, a reintroduction of the Obama family was necessary. That is what Monday night was all about. It was about clearing up the distortions made of Michelle and Barack’s character by the Karl Rove smear machine.

Geee Matthew, I guess you didn't want to hear it. 80% of the country thinks it's moving in the wrong direction -- which is true. Horribly true.

The message is change. Try a little hard next time.

There are two reasons I won’t vote for Obama. One is Florida. The other is Michigan. Obama didn’t want my vote to count months ago. He doesn’t deserve my vote now.

'treat women like dirt, and pay the price.'

this is what some very stupid woman is saying about the democratic party. so you'll turn to john mccain to heal your wounds? john mccain, the womanizer, who uh, treats women like dirt? who left his crippled first wife for a rich young babe.

you puma folks must all have battered wife syndrome. sick.

The response to the DNC convention is tepid. No one cares what Nancy Pelosi has to say, except for Nancy Pelosi. Even Michelle's speech didn't energize anyone. The Dem strategist are all scratching their heads saying "Where's the message". The superdelegates are the only one's who got Obama where he is. The American people voted for Clinton, most of the Dems don't care about Obama, they feel disenfranchised by their own party.
I'm a Republican and McCain supporter, but by the time the primary came to my state, McCain was already elected by our party so I voted for Clinton. I would rather have had 2 competent, formidable opponents than a "Messiah" with no experience, racist church, terrrorist friends etc. Not a Hillary fan, but I would feel safer with her Pres than Obama. He is worried about the Hillar supporters because there is no unity to the Dem party.

Michelle left out the part where she was heavily involved with the Chicago political machine prior to meeting Obama. She is the one who got him into Wright's church to blacken him up.

Give the Dems a chance. Last night was only the first night. It was a nice warm-up. We'll end the Convention with a clear focus and strategy to win in November. Take it easy. The pundits want us to come out fighting, get on message the very moment the Dems take the stage. The Obama Campaign has done a great job so far. Let them finish what they have started. The only way the Dems can lose is if the voters are once again "scared" into believing McCain has more judgment to protect this country. He doesn't. Being a POW doesn't qualify him to run the country.

The thing that worries me about Obama is the fact that he has concentrated on letting us know all about his relative in Africa, and his half-sister who was educated in an Islamic country. His early training was also in islam. I have never seen a picture of his mother, or his grand parents, which he now says are the ones that raised him. He wrote a book about the father that deserted him and his mother when he was too young to remember. He has ridiculed the Bible, but says nothing about the Koran. I wonder why.

The reason there have been more republicans elected President lately is because Democrats have refused to fight as dirty as the republicans. It's time they start fighting like they mean it, instead of acting like a bunch of sissies. I want some blood, I am tired of losing to those bunch of crooks that call themselves republicans.

Your comments are ridiculous. You try to imply Obama is Muslim so you can scare people away from him. Your attempt is idiotic and you are a moron. .

y.sister and drindl. Did you two go to the same dumbed down public school togeather? It sounds like it. This Idiot didn't even know were he was last night. He was in Kansas City, not St Louis stupid. This is worse than than the 57 states remark he made. Dumb ones, telling the truth is not character assasination. Do you think he was on drugs? OK, I agree that he has what appears to be a great family that sticks togeather, and that is some what of an accomplishment in the Black community today, but no special qualification to be President. Get it?

All you Hillary/supporters/sore losers had better get a grip and quick. Voting for Mccain might be a great protest but with two elderly liberal justices on the Supreme Court as soon as they retire Roe Versus Wade will be overturned during the first and only Mccain administration. And then we can watch our rights be eroded for thirty years, except if you want to own guns and pray in school. You all will be fine.

The message is simple:

REPUBS SUCK!

DEMS RULE!

OBAMA 08!

more people watched "deal Or No deal" than the democrat convention, just reported by www.drudgereport.com

SEANDREE, your ATHIEST is showing, but you are correct, and we'll all be McFine

Can anyone imagine Cindy McDrugaddict giving even HALF the speech Michelle gave last night?

Not even in her wildest drug-induced fantasies could Cindy even dream it.

Michelle ROCKED!!!

Ditto! I cannot abide what the Democratic Party has become. Or maybe it always was and we just didn't notice because no one ever ran the gamut of these elitist caususes before. I'm totally disgusted with the Democratic establishment. I don't agree with all of John McCain's policies but he has earned my respect with actions instead of pretty, possibly empty, words.

Do you think McCain will attract MORE of Hillary supporters if he chooses a female VP especially since Obama has not been able to reach Hillary’s 80% of the forgotten people? Inside sources say Obama's recent plane trouble was an orchestrated publicity fraud to gain public sympathy and take away attention from his pattern of distracting and polarizing the public with playing the race card and the rich against poor card. Apparently Obama is full of them!!!!!

Mr.Message, come on, is that all you got? The message on the blogs and the net works is McCaine 08 & 2012!!

@ Obama Supporters...stop with the Roe vs. Wade arguement. Did you ever stop to think that there may be some Hillary supporters who are Pro-Life? And if that'a all you got--then it's going to be very amusing when McCain is sworn into office next January (or are you going to act like little children and throw temper tantrums like you love to accuse Hillary's supporters of doing?).

At the end of the day, Hillary was thrown out like a moldy piece of meat. With her, went the traditional democratic principles - replaced by ultra-left radicals led by the hippy Pelosi who want to make out country into a bunch of ticky-tacky, all the same.

Thank you ultras! For destroying a good thing. Clinton supporters will not forget.

if they would have come otu attacking we woudl be reading headlines

michelle is angry

if they would have talked only about policy

then we would have heard, but we still dont know who they are

i think you reporters need to learn to sleep, and maybe fire about half of you people because there is just too many of you....

we need to bring in something that eats journalists so that we can thin this crazy herd

also id like to point out that a 4 act play builds in tension

night 1 you have teh introduction

night 2 now you build the rift and start to add the meat

night 3 now your adding more meat and your now adding a timeline that will cause extra tension for the fourth act

night 4 you end it with a bang

professional makeover can transform someone completely, regardless what is underneath. Ugly becomes beautiful, low class becomes high class - what is the big deal with Michelle's speech? Anyone can do as good or better job when given a well scripted and crafted speech written well ahead of time. I'm positive I'd look even more like a first lady if I were given such opportunities. Think about that! Most of Obama supporters are driven by their emotions. Even fake tears can move their vote to the other side! How sad!!!! Doesn't matter who you support.

For those of you who still insist on believing the Obama's are Racist and Muslim supporting subversives...don't you think by now...if Barack Obama was a threat in any way,shape, or form...that we and the Secret Service as well as the FBI and the CIA would know it by NOW!! Jesus... Is it really that bad out there that you folks don't read or try to find out things for yourselves instead of listening to others who are just as uniformed as you are? Or listening to those who have an agenda? And you Puma folks. Ireally hate to say it...but you give credence wo those who say, " A woman is too emotional to be President!" Listen to yourselves... you sound like winy babies!! You would cut off your noses to spite your faces!!! Get a grip ladies and gentlemen. Don't you think about anyone but yourselves? The world and the rest of the country is suffering and you would let it continue, just to prove your point! What does that sound like to you people...really? Like a child! Is the country in it's present state working for you? Really? You have no issues with Gas prices, the economy, the war, blatant hubris etc...C'mon! You mean to tell me that you would rather have more of the same and/or worse than take a shot at making a change for the good of everyone else. If we strengthen the weakest link of us...we srengthen all of us don't we? And finally let me say this. I have a statement for the woman who feel disrespected by the party. Try being black or any other race besides white and a democrat. Who has been more disrespected than non-whites who have been loyal to this party than any other. Try being taken for granted "all" the time! If blacks thought like you Puma's, they would have jumped ship many years ago. Native americans. How many do each of you know? Any? And this is "there" country! So I don't want to hear it from you folks. Did you speak up for anyone else in the past? Did You? No, now you want people to speak up for you and it hurts doesn't it? Well welcome to "The Party".

My messeage here is that if Hillary Clinton does not anoint Obama tonight that means she can still anoint Sentor John McCain with her 18 million patches and she can be his VP take her 18 million to anoint John McCain, so I wait for the message tonight, I rather see her as VP that would be nice to see her in still.

anyone can give a good speech it not about words and speeches it's all about who can deliver the real messages. Common sense some know how to deliver and some are better at speeches only that's the difference

Mathew I saw you on Charlie Rose make an excellent point about Obama having to understand people's fears about him and take them past those fears. How does he do that? IS it a question of showing that he is like these people and understands there concerns about the economy? IS talking about his upbringing by a single partent going to help that?

Also do you think the Hillary problem at part caused the quiet start to the convention, and do you think that that problem will be fixed, to an extent, by Hillary making an empassioned pro Obama speech? Also I was interested that people seem to think that Obama should have done more outreach to the Clintons, but hasn't he done a ton already, and doesn't Hillary need to bring her supporters along with her?

Obama didn't keep Florida and Michigan from voting. the state officials who convinced them to hold primaries when they should not have did. They broke the rules. Obama and others (accept hillary) played by them and now you want to "punish" him and the rest of us for it? Puhleeeeze!! Grow up!!

I am pleased that you Mr Dowd have job to do, and I guess yo do does as well as the rest of the media.I guess it was your day to offer negative comments.I am also very happy at the fact that I don't relay on you or anyone else, for that matter to tell me how to feel, how to think, or what's best for me.

You didn't come away with from the night with any consistent message or theme, because you didn't want to come away with one.Perception is 99% of ones truth, and so you are indeed entitled to your perception, as you are your opinion,and you know what they say about those, they are like a...holes, everyone has one.The elevator message is OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!

Obama Biden - Osama Bin Laden? What a coincidence!

When I read Obama Biden, Osama Bin Laden when through my mind. Did you know that Obama has planned for the president of the Islamic Society of North America warned last night that American Jews who ally with right-wing Christians to oppose Muslim organizations are pursuing a high-risk strategy that could backfire. DNC's Islamic Speaker unindicted co-conspirator in terrorism trial

Read for yourself: http://righttruth.typepad.com/right_truth/2008/08/dncs-islamic-speakerned.html

Lawsuit filed today against Obama and DNC. Obama not U.S. Citizen- Lawsuit filed- Enjoin DNC

http://www.obamacrimes.com/

Empty false words was all that occured last night...well and the Obama's again broke their promises not to use their daughters and drag them through politics and spotlight after using their kids last month. It shows bad parenting and bad judgement..the Obama's have to go.

Message? What message is Obama sending? I cant figure him or it out. McCain is more on details. Hard numbers for nuclear plants, tax rates, etc. Obama is too touchy feely and generalalities.

you puma "FOLKS"....Barack is that you? Michelle?

chattyway---oh yes and mccain has showen such good morals showed his kids its ok to leave your wife so you can marry a rich women 17 years your junior. mccain has flipped more then obama ever has ...mccain use to fight bush at every turn now he is lock step with bush..talk about a flip.

The reason the dems have only had 2 pres. in 40 years, is because they consistently choose the wrong canidate. Their too busy patting each other on the back to see what's really going on. And to add injury to insult, they start ganging up on the very women and men who were supporters of Hillary, and start to degrade them. They're idiots. Howard Dean couldn't argue his way out of a paper sack. And now he looks like a chauvanist. What a dope! I'm beginning to wonder why I stay in the dem. party.

bea-- because they are the only ones that will stop the rich from destroying the working class and inslaving us all.

Does hillary need to make her supporters follow her? Well, yes, that's exactly what some did. They're the big puddle of bath water right next to the used kitchen sink, laying in the gutter....next to the DNC headquarters.

Tom, I don't know which feels worse. Being destroyed...or ignored.

bea-- you were not ignored i voted for hillary here in minnesota. but obama won by the rules set in place, now we must get behind him and win for all teh poor and working class in this once great nation. if mccain wins we will continue down the gutter bush placed us in.

As a former republican operative, Dowd has the unenviable stance of covering for his failed lunatic party and for his failed MAINSCREAM media outlet, ABC. After watching what abc did to Gore in 2000 on this netorks convention coverage I was eager to watch them trash the DEMS this time out and they have not let me down. Thanks to the yeoman effort of CHOLLY GLIBS SON and his politico ex-spurt Steppie Steponafalafalos, they are desperate to avoid a landslide and are giving the effort it takes to avoid one. To their chagrin, the voters now see through this swill and will puinich the retarded republican party like never beofre seen in our lifetimes, or in this nations history. Live from the convention, this has been...MOMENTS IN TRUTH...by Daddyblue

as an aside, the abc mistake at the 2000 convention was delivered on air by petie jennings...sorry he missed this one!!

It's a shame none of use really have a life.

im hillary supporter. But will not vote to OBAMA, im voting for mccain... the olds democrats they have to pay a price for not backing hillary! ive voted congress senator ect for democrat but not for OBAMA!!!

It’s only the second day of the convention fer christ’s sake...

S Adams - You are such a angry and miserable people that never have any thing nice to say. Michelle speech was off the hook you hatfull nut cast. God don't like ugly and you better watch how you take about people you angry fool!

You hatfull Republ just don't give up and you are scare that this time you Republ will lose becasue American People have your number. YOu can not fool us this time with your scare attacks.

It’s time for the crybaby Hill supporters to crawl out of their perambulators and stand upright with, it is hoped, a newly discovered spine. Go ahead a ssholes, vote for McCain and watch from your cozy little bassinets while the Republican Party trashes the country and the world for another four years...I throw you out with the bath water.

boo hoo hoo!

amy - Like most you racist white people who hide behind the internet and to say hateful things about Obama and his wife becasue the color of their skin is different from you racist white people will have to face the fact yes a black man will be running the White House in Nov. 2008. EAT YOUR HEART OUT YOUR RACIST WHITE PEOPLE WHO LOVE HIDING BEHIND THE INTERNET TO SAY HATEFULL THINGS AGAINST A BLACK FAMILY.

I bet you hateful white people won't say these hateful things about Obama to his face. it is easy to say hateful things about some one on the internet!

Regarding your post TRUTHHURTS.. all I can say is MICHELLE might be a better speaker like her her husband but its all rhetoric and an empty suit...

On the other hand, Mrs Cindy McCain shuns the spotlights.. She has waded through minefields in Cambodia. Slept out in the bush in tents in Angola. Comforted children under the broiling sun in Morocco. From Angola to Tanzania or Vietnam, Cindy, would rather be traveling to some far-flung country on behalf of one humanitarian cause or another. than giving speeches like Michelle ObamaNATION...When she addresses crowds, she is short and to the point...

her commitment to humanitarian work is one of her most defining characteristics

Don’t fret, Obama supporters. The Republican Party and the racist pigs that find refuge there is in its death throes. How I will enjoy watching it die!

Lovely, poignant opening evening last night. Kennedy's "party family gathering" brought tears to my eyes and heart. In regards to this evening, Hillary did what she was charged to do. You can always be a end of the game quarterback, or you can appreciate the effort and support the cause. Let's give their potential and energy a positive chance and our unwaivering support.Nicely done this evening on Nightline Matthew! Sara Katherine

Try to imagine the enormous goodwill that will flow into this country with Barack Obama as president and Michelle Obama as first lady. They might just start to forgive us for putting a retarded, snickering little schoolboy like Dubya in the White House for eight years. Sorry poopy little white folks, but most of the world’s population consists of people of color. And by the year 2050, the majority of US citizens will be non Caucasian. Best thing that could happen to America.

This line of BS is commonplace these day with the worthless Republican party.
Since you are too dumb to understand, the theme is...America has been trashed under the Bush administration and if you elect McCain you will continue to live with a downtrodden country. The message is clear and every DNC Convention speaker keeps uttering the theme. You are telling lies. The message is very clear.

Under the Bush/McCain rule we will continue to have more years of the rich getting rich and the poor getting poorer.

John McCain will be to Bush as Dmitry Medvedev is to Putin--A PUPPET.

McCain hates Bush, he just can't show it because he needs the conservative base's support.

ANYONE who says McCain would be a puppet of Bush is seriously lacking in brain cells.

ANYONE who says McCain would be a puppet of Bush is seriously lacking in brain cells.
=======================

Oh really? Recall the disgusting kissy huggy pictures of McCain with Bush a year ago. McCain is a shameless Bush/Rove sycophant.

So much about expirience-- Mccain's more than three decades experience in national and international Politcs has only just earned him the repulican presidential nomination after three attempts. Barack Obama with only 3year of national political experience is a shouting distance to the White House at the first attempt,same ambiton both men but who has the better ability of achiving set goal? of course -- "Barack" has the greater ability to achive national goals and strategic objectives. America vote Obaaama!!!

Good job morons. Go line up like good republicans and vote for another 300% gas increase. Go borrow another couple trillion dollars from China, invade Iran and then "lose" 30 billion. Drive the economy into the ground and make sure the health care system finally croaks, along with social security. Keep at it and in 8 years Canada and Mexico will be building fences to keep us out.

You do realize Seth,that oil prices didn't start going up and the economy didn't start going down until just a couple of years ago when Pelosi and the rest of the dem congress took over. No wonder Bush's approval rating is higher than Congress.

The problem with Obama is largely what is his message?. What exactly does he want to change?. Choosing a well known Liberal as his running mate raises grave doubts about his judgement. If there had been two white Liberals on the ticket the media would have roasted him.His and his wifes racism cannot be swept under the carpet however nauseating their convention is.

Ofcourse this guy thinks there is no message he worked to elect W for cryin' out loud what else is he going to say and prediction time I bet the house when John McCain and the GOP are partyin' next he'll say they are spot on target for their message for the country . It's a joke for ABC to have a pundit speak on the DNC message ofcourse he won't find one he's a Bushie the message could smack him in the face and he wouldn't notice they are clueless to what Americans need and want except to say we're fighting them there so we don't fight em' here , and they'll raise all your taxes and all their other BS like wedge issues abortion and gay marrige something they never do anything about I mean take abortion you mean in the time they have had a 5-4 court and have got their way on countless rulings they haven't found a case to send up to overturn Roe v Wade ofcourse they could of but they don't because they want to keep it as a wedge to bludgen dems with to seperate if you had something like that to get the Vote out would you do something to get rid of it ? Not me and they won't either !!!!

It looks like so far so good for the Democratic convention to me. Michelle and Hillary did what they need to do. The criticism of Mark Warner as the key noter was stupid. They did a very smart thing with Mark Warner: they nailed Virginia for Obama. Warner is ahead in his race for Senate while the Presidential race is tied. If Warner can improve his numbers we will have reverse coattails effect with Warner pulling Obama's numbers up. Very smart.

amy have you ever watched any other convention thats what they do talk about personal things to get you to know them and where they are coming from and hope to make a connection just like people do in normal life just watch the next one they'll do the same thing to make the connection

McCain/(write in)Clinton 2008!!!!!

Chatty, check your dates! Gas prices bounced on the Surge dates.
Don't think that Nancy Pelosi can single handedly control fuel prices.
Nice spin though!

The Governor of Montana was very good. Good enough to pull in Montana for Obama, again very smart play. As the old saying goes "as Montana goes, so goes North Dakota, and South Dakota comes along for the ride." Haven't you heard that before?

Here is the message......the country is a mess, now what are you going to do to fix it.

All the speeches with words that Americans want to hear won't mean a thing if the candidate can't produce results. Neither of the candidates can wave a magic wand and make all our problems disappear and I hope the voters are smart enough to understand that.

What we need from the candidates is for them to lay out the plan they have to fix these issues. Please don't give me any more feel good speeches with layer after layer of fluff. We are smart enough to know what is affecting our lives because, we are living it.

Hillary mentioned a woman, such a touching story, she had two adopted children with autism, and she had cancer and no insurance. Those are exactly the people Hillary wants to rule over. What the hell is this woman doing adopting two children without the financial means to do so? Why are people (especially the poor) in this country having children without the means to care for them. And don't give me that "eveyone has the right to have children" nonsense, if you can't afford it, then you need to get an education and save money for expensive things like childcare and education.
I think it is the Democrats way to promote socialism (or communism in Hillary's case). The Deomocrats have no clue. Oh, by the way, gas prices are dropping not sky-rocketing, Hillary. The idea that we humans are causing global warming is ridiculous, being environmentally thoughtful is fine, but it is unlikely we are actually affecting the function of the universe.
Life requires tough decisions, conservative decisions. Besides, if you disagree with me, no worries you're Messiah is in Chicago, just ask him to help, I hear his name is Obama, Obaba or something like that. JV

There does seem to be a lack of a general, simple , basic, theme- but remember that this is Obama's convention- he's the nominee- its up to him- guess his ego was too afraid of putting Hillary as VP- Obama needs to earn our vote- he cannot send Clinton and Biden out for him - he needs to get a message- an agenda- and communicate that clearly and directly to us- the voters- (not just a fancy speech) Now I see something in the news today about a Greek temple theme as the setting for his big speech Thursday- well, his ego may even be bigger than George Bush's Obama made a big mistake not putting Hillary on as VP. It's all his doing... if he loses then he nor his supporters can blame Clinton.

Isn't it strange that the Republican's attack the Democratic Convention for not criticizing McCain enough?

Barack, Howard and Joe, the Three Stooges, starring in
A Day at the Democratic Convention. Tell me something,
what kind of ignorant political party lets registered
voters from the Other party vote in their primaries,
and then Banishes Half of their Own Voters? Well, of
course, The Democrats do. Hell, no wonder the Democratic
candidates are so screwed up, they don't know if they're
running For the Republicans, or against them.

Come to think of it, wasn't Dumb and Dumber set in
Colorado? Talk about going on location. I'm not saying
I'm voting for Mccain, but I sure as hell ain't voting
for Stupid, and co.

Barrack Hussein Obama will never get my vote.Iam big time Hillary supporter who will never and l repeat vote for that little man Obama.All you hear from him is change change change and if elected all we have is change in our pocket after all his welfare spending.I will gladly vote for McCain in november.

Obama spoke in 2004 Dem Convention for John Kerry. Obama probably turned off many voters who would vote for John Kerry.
