WOWS? Really? Those people on AOL are easily wowed then. She did have me rolling on the floor though. Actually, I take that back. The FReeper's comments during her lullaby had my rolling on the floor.
In fairness, the poor girl is young (younger than I am - now THAT is scary!) and is basically being shoved into the spotlight as a result of her father's candidacy. I think the Bush twins have shown much more poise with the media, but this level of attention is very new to Cate Edwards.
I feel sorry for her. It doesn't seem as if she's honestly interested in helping Daddy's campaign, does it?
WEll Barak said in his speech there should not be a Black or a White America ONLY AMERICA
AHEM
Mr. Obama does that mean the Congressional lack Caucus will now be disbanded ??
I await you answer and reccomendation
Interesting. Can you recall any of the "sure-things" who never made it? Ironically, one keynote speaker (I think he was the keynote) who DID make it was Bill Clinton, despite the fact that his interminable speech was universally panned.
She ain't that young. 22, Princeton educated, been on the campaign trail for a while. I've seen many high school and even middle school kids who are much more articulate.
That TeRAYsa appeared sedated was not a surprise; that her speech was--for the most part--"me me me" was also not a surprise; what DID surpise me was the EXTREMELY quiet, almost non-reaction of the delegates. The only ones who were excited were the weird women contingent (of which she is the queen).
Hmm, come to think of it, "Pharmboy" should have some professional expertise on the issue. Is it your considered opinion that she was sedated? Would it have been a normal dose to appear that slowed-down?
These are 'needy' people. . .they want to clap and cheer but it has not been 'effortless effort'.
The real challenge awaits them.
Can you imagine what it's going to be like at the Republican convention when W walks out on the stage? Now THAT is truly going to be an outpouring of love and excitement.
Here's a link to his column:

Hyphenated name. Hyphenated eyes ?
. . .I would hope; but 'silver tongues' often get and worse; 'take the 'advantage'.
Obama struck me; as one with a 'silver tongue' so to speak; a kind of MLK magnetic draw in his appeal; but one could hear the cloaked Liberal undertones couched in what seem to be an attempt at a 'conservative' outreach.
All in all; he seemed a bit scary to me. . .
. . .thanks for offering some facts here re his record . . .want to know more about this man's record vs his rhetoric.
John Edwards probably had to go back and re-write his speech on 'two America's' after this one.
Flat affect, speech pattern and the look in her eyes say "medication" to me. They were also talking about it on Imus this morning. Mary Matalin was classy by saying that she would prefer to think that TeRAYsa did some intense yoga or meditation to get where she was last night.
My bias is pharmaceutical--more consistent results. I would cut back on the dose, though.
My guess on the med? Paxil. It is the most sedating of the (Prozac-class) SSRIs.
That'll dovetail nicely with Edward's "Two Americas" speach.
Thanks, Dr. PB. I was IMing with my sister, a very liberal lady from Massachusetts. She hadn't seen the speech and I wanted her to know about Teresa's drugged appearance. I just sent her your comments as evidence.
Nothing embarassing that I'm aware of, but a private life is just that. A private life. Her business, and her business alone. Politics today doesn't allow for that. Anything and everything is fodder for the opposition. Why anyone would submit oneself to that is beyond me.
LOL. . .ruth is, no one could make that climb to 'wow' for Teresa; and it showed.
Was the pained face she usually reserves for 'disgusting Republicans'.
Too funny; camera panned her; moved quickly off and no one offered so much as a word.
I noticed a few comments on the live DNC thread last night about Hillary's reaction, but even though I watched Teresa's speech somehow I managed to miss the shots of Hillary. I would have loved to have seen it. Was it really that blatant?
