I don't want to spoil the end of the roll call for anyone, but I think Kerry wins it.

Isn't he the candidate that was in Vietnam ?

[mass55th]

Okay folks. This is the third night of this convention. The goal of this convention was to introduce John Kerry to America...show people who he is. Does anybody think that they accomplished this goal on Day 3? I don't. That leaves them one more day to accomplish it. The clock is ticking...tick, tick, tick!

Hillary's "School To Work" is a commie dream. Would this guy like it? Not for his kids, of course...

[Vision Thing]

It's gonna be okay, because with the dems, hope will lose its way.

[jonsie]

I couldn't have said it better, as a teacher I see it everyday.

[ScottFromSpokane]

That Jerry Stiller...he be down wit da young people!

[RasterMaster]

Oh Gee...how ORIGINAL! Can these people think on their own or what?

[SupplySider]

I couldn't bear to watch, but I read about the speechs. They were smart to take such a positive approach, and, sadly, I think it will work. It's too bad most people don't realize that all the happy talk boils down to "talk nice to the French" and "raise taxes", two proven losers.

[NYC GOP Chick]

I know that feeling of dread, and there is always room for you on my ledge!

[Palladin]

As far as presenting a speech is concerned, Edwards can't hold a candle to Clinton.

The down home charm in Edwards turns to saccharin promises.

Where's the beef?

[AndyJackson]

Yeah, the one with a foot in both Americas.

[BurbankKarl]

Elizabeth was here!

[lavrenti]

But I thought you've been around the world!

[ScottFromSpokane]

I don't want to spoil the end of the roll call for anyone, but I think Kerry wins it.

And it turns out Teresa's a man!

Will their anger reach DEFCON4 by tomorrow?""

Highly possible. I was thinking about that today.

Their actions in public (Dean, Gore, Kerry, Hillary, Pelosi, Rengel) show them to be completely irrational.
All Edwards did tonight was place the race/victim card and Bash Bush. Then he stole Bush's lines about going after our enemies.
All the screaming in public, calling republican's 'Hitlers', as well as other insane statements.
These are not radio hosts or writers...these are folks who want to run our country...elected officials! And they all seem to be left wing wackos.

THESE ARE NOT THE TYPE OF PEOPLE WE NEED IN CHARGE OF OUR NATIONAL SECURITY.

On the local news here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, they just showed some dems who pretty much said that they will use Edwards dead child as a part of their stump.

EDWARDS SAID TO REJECT THE NEGATIVE POLITICS OF THE PAST....HE SAYS THAT AFTER MONTHS OF BASHING BUSH AND A SPEECH THAT BASHED PEOPLE WHO WORKED TO GET WHAT THEY HAVE.

THE WORST PART....Their followers thing the actions of the Dem Politicos......is normal!

[ntnychik]

Jim Lehrer just called himself a John Edwards groupie. Surprised other commentators on PBS weren't impressed.

[Dolphy]

YEs but whn you have Mr. Kristol on FNC saying that Edwards speech was hawkish and was one of the strongest speechs for American defense coming from the Democrates since JFK...it makes me want to f'ing puke..

Kristol must have been listening to another speech. He is one of the most sour, negative commentators out there. I wish Fox would drop him just as I had always wished ABC before them would.

Chris Wallace: "Fear? All [the Republicans] are offering is fear?"
