"The crowd is wishing they'd nominated Dean!"

Yep...on the othr hand, Dean is very subdued. Like he's on the same drungs as the rest...talking about a little girl he met in PA who sold her bike for Democracy...an old lady in Iowa who saved pennies out of her non-existant Social Security check, thus depriving herself of dog food for a month and starving to death, just to send money to elect a Dem to the White House....how quaint. I'm warm all over.

TAX INCREASE???

This was the first year I ever owed less than $10k in taxes for the year and as a single white male I'm usually the first one to get screwed by the tax system. Dean is telling Goebbels-sized lies tonight.

The Dems theme is "taking our country back." Ironically, these same words are on the homepage of the CommunistPartyUSA.

They might not be ashamed of calling themselves Democrats, but they sure won't ever call themselves liberal Democrats.

"He keeps talking about HIS campaign .. not Kerry's "

Every single speech has been just like this. Me, me, me, me, me, me, me.

Not bad, but not great.

If Bill Clinton's a 9, I'd count Dean as a 6 or 7.

Problem is no other politicians in this convention have gone above a 3, so the contrast is dramatic.

Why do we have such incompetent politicians?
