Oh man. You can see it in the crowd reaction. This is one turkey of a convention.

And the Bush wannabe theme from Edwards was really tooooo much.

hope ...hope ...where have I heard that ....oh yea, Hope is on the way...

If people thought Bill and Hillary were a package deal, they have no idea what they are getting with John and Teresa."

I think this guy owes the American people a fuller explanation of his comment. This statement definitely needs more coverage.

Speakers have complained about poor site lines to the prompter screens...

Uh, no. Sight-lines, maybe, but...oh for heaven's sake.

Otherwise, very nice news.

If Kerry wants to ride on something manly, maybe Ben Affleck can give him a piggyback ride.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Kerry was enthusiastic about both, cheering by himself and talking to the television as though both Obama and Terry Kerry could hear him.
"It was oddly touching, if not a bit affecting," says the staffer, who heard about the scene secondhand. "There was someone in the room actually taking notes of what he said to leak to journalists on the trip."

" Don't cry for me Argentina.
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days,
My mad existence,
I kept my promise.
Don't keep your distance."

Sen. John Kerry spent much of Tuesday night flipping between CNN and MSNBC, watching coverage of the party his party is throwing just for him.

What? No Fox News? Kerry likes flipping and flopping between cnn and msnbc.

On Wednesday, reporters got laughs after Sen. Patrick Leahy stood befuddled at the podium after the teleprompter went dark. The Vermont senator had no hard copy of his remarks, so a printed version had to be handed to him onstage.

"Forget your lines, Patty?"

"GO **** YOURSELF!"

---"There hasn't been any polling; it's just a sense some of us have that this isn't going anywhere," says a DNC political staffer in Boston.---

Sanity rears it's unwelcome head. Just yesterday I was hearing all this happy hogwash about how confident and positive of victory everyone was, but the medication wears off and there you are...

Yankel Rosenbaum issued the following statement through John Edwards.

Edwards said: "Yankel speaks to you through me. And I have to tell you, right now... I didn't plan to talk about this... right now, I can feel him. I can feel his presence. He's inside me, and he's talking to Al Sharpton. And he's saying... I'm fine... no, wait, there's a mob... they're rushing toward me. They've been incited to violence... by you, Al. Uh, oh... I think I've been stabbed. I'm having a little trouble now. Stabbed again. Not doing okay. Stabbed again. Really having trouble here. And again. I think I need to lay down. Oh, I'm bleeding all over the sidewalk. Regarding your speech, Al... it's good to see that you are the new face of the Democratic Party. By the way, you suck."

"There was someone in the room actually taking notes of what he said to leak to journalists on the trip."

No, no, no.....It's the only White House that leaks things. Dan Rather told me so.

You know, I've only got a High School edjumication, but even I know that should be 'sight lines,' Spectator.

"There hasn't been any polling; it's just a sense some of us have that this isn't going anywhere," says a DNC political staffer in Boston.

How nice to have our perception validated. It has been clear this is the lamest convention ever. I'm curious about the claim of no polling...not sure I believe that. It must be horrible.

"This has probably been the most tightly run convention in recent memory,

Absurd. "Tightly run" in the sense that they have adhered to strict time limits, until Al Sharpton took the helm and they were too cowardly to pull his plug. Otherwise there is no rhyme or reason to the order or subject matter.

And Kerry can't even take charge of what kind of boat he'll ride in across the harbor? What a "commander". NOT

This convention has been all about trying to put lipstick on a jackass, and it is failing miserably. People see a fourlegged animal standing there all still with red lips, hoping that no one will notice that it's a jackass. It's laughable, really.

C'mon you Demons. Bay and whine and kick your hind legs in a frenzy. We all know you're jackasses. Now act like it!

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy - (snicker).
