omg, now they're all chanting 'help is on the way' in unison. Johnny is leading them. Gargggggg.

[CurlyBill]

Yup ... this sick display will be long forgotten when the Republican Convention comes around in September...

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

Oh, without a doubt. I think this is one of the worst I've seen. I think he was boxed into saying what the "party" wanted him to say and his supposed charm is absent.

Yes, I think he makes Al Gore look exciting.

Good grief. He is stealing the Pubbies line from 2000 and changing the word "help" for "hope".

Yes, Howlin. This is bad.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Now he's playing the Sesame Street repeat game. "Hope is on the way."

This is embarrassing.

[ScottFromSpokane]

I think it may well play with swing voters, at least on the "hope through big government" part.

If this election were to turn on domestic policy, K and E could win.

I'm banking that the American people have not forgotten that the Democratic Party cannot be trusted on national security.

[AndyJackson]

My thoughts exactly. I cannot wait for the first Cheney Edwards debate.

[phalynx]

I keep hearing the "hope is on the way" and I can only think of Ron Popeel saying "set it and forget it".

Probably the real Dim goal.

[mombonn]

Gag, spit "hope is on the way" being chanted, as orchestrated by the THOUSANDS of signs passed out.

He's even more of a lightweight than I realized!

[johnwayne]

His delivery is very weak.

Not enough substance.

LOL. I can't wait to see Kerry speak.

[afropick]

Are the violins playing in the background.

[AmericanMade1776]

Cheney will pulverize this little twirp, in debate.

[Mo1]

Richard B. Cheney acceptance speech, 2000:
"HELP IS ON THE WAY!"

Thanks for the Reminder

[GodBlessUSA]

When you tell your kids about politics about John and Breakboy we'll say
We HOPE THEY GO AWAY :)

[noexcuses]

they'll be absolutely nauseating when he finishes

I think they will be throwing up with the rest of the DNC bigwigs that Edwards delivered such a dud of a speech.

[BurbankKarl]

they cant even hold up the right signs...!!!

did you hear them try to get them to yell USA USA USA? didnt work

[ntnychik]

He rolled out the young mother at her kitchen table, sick with worry, can't pay bills, husband in Iraq, should have been home, but got tour extended.

Call and response:
HOPE IS ON THE WAY!

(Plagiarized from Dick Cheney's "Help is on the Way" in 2000)

[ArmyBratproud]

I wonder if EDWARDS will talk about how he LOANED MONEY to a JUDGE at the same time that his WIFE was an atty on a case before that Judge.

[Grassontop]

"Hope is on the way, unless hope is an unborn baby!"

[ChadGore]

Re: Hold up your HOPE signs, sheeple.

You can almost hear them saying "dear leader"
