I am still laughing.
YAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
The crowd was nuts before thay got there...
since this is the tried and true it means Edwards does not think on his feet. He performs with the discipline of a disney animatronic robot.
Perhaps we should call him Gorewards 2.0
2 America's: the producers and the non-producers.
He's certainly got better hair than Jacques wife Tizzy!
After listening to him, I think I see a new slogan for them: Kerry-Edwards 2004, 8% unemployment 2006. I mean, you raise taxes, cutting incentive and investment, you raise the minimum wage, where do you think the economy will go?
Little Johnnie, show me those hungry and ill clothed children and I'll show you negligent parents. We have umpteen programs to take care of children's needs. We don't need any more.
Edwards really isn't very bright...I can't wait for Cheney to get his hands on him in the debates.
Never has so little been said in so many words.
Nobody gives a stump speech like Max Cleland. ("New tone" enthusiasts may commence flaming).
That is ONE AMERICA.
One equal America under socialism/communism and they are coming after those that have success in America as a punishment.
Another gazillion to the failed public school system that gives them campaign dollars.
Then ends with America, where anything is possible.
But if they tax away freedom, success and ambition, all that is left is a third world nation under their control.
Major leftist speech here.
Is it just me, or does does it strike someone that this speech hugely overrated?!
It sounds as if they are looping some old Cher song after hsi speech.
Rather just called Cheney a "HIT MAN"!
This was his big chance to rally Americans to the Democrat ticket, by evoking his vision of the great causes of the Democrat party and the downhome values and decent America vision he has before a national audience ready to accept him.
But he stumbled. He began by talking too fast, an error he didn't catch till almost 15 minutes into his speech.
And at the beginning he blew trying to seem earnest by letting a tinge of anger get into his discussion of problems average Americans face, rather than compassion.
The worst part was that he was thrown off stride by having to defend John Kerry, and that rang the most false.
He's evidentally been ill, not just laryngitis, and I'm floored that the Hollywood crowd couldn't figure out how to take the feverish sheen from his face, as it detracted from his ability to woo those single moms looking for a knight in shining armor.
All in all, it turned out disjointed and THANK HEAVEN it was one of the worst performances he's given. Because of that, his maturity and wisdom will be questioned, where a calm, steady and compassionate performance would have made him an incredible threat.

The first question I want the moderator of the Vice-Presidential debate to ask Edwards: "You speak of two America's, Senator, would you explain to the American people which America you belong to?"
I can't wait for that big wet liplock tomorrow night with sKerry and his Breck Girl.
"I am channelling Little Orphan Annie"
...
"Daddy Warbucks, I need me some new rollerskates"
"OK baby, just come looking for this here hundred dollars. Now I'll puts it somewhere special where when you finds it, me and Mr. Happy will both be very, very grateful, for sure."
"Oh, another fun game! Thank you, thank you, Daddy!"
