Rush doing what Rush does well. Greta seems to be really listening and is giving him the floor, uninterrupted!

Actually it may not have been as bad if it hadn't lasted so long. The part where they started to introduce their dad was fine. It was okay to be funny, but they just kept being silly for too long.

They were aiming for the College crowd and it worked -- I have an email from the CR's praising the girls and saying how down to earth they are unlike the Kerry snobs. Perception really is different.

Anyone watching CNN? Is Kerry actually CAMPAIGNING tonight?! Isn't that a little unprecedented?!

I agree with you. I was very disappointed in the twins. I wanted them to appear classy like their Mom and respectful of their Father. It was not an appropriate venue for them to try to be funny. The election is serious business and they wasted prime time not furthering our cause whatsoever. They are not "kids". They are old enough to realize what is at stake in this election.
Jenna's known as a little bit of a smartass, which isn't really seen as a bad thing by most people under 40.

I'm guessing one of those stealth Dem volunteers.
The crawler said it was at the end of Arnold's speech. She started spewing to Cheney how much did you make from the war, blah blah blah. Standard moron Dem talking points.

***Shake it like a Polaroid?!!?? ***

Proof positive that the twins' were directed to an audience of twenty-somethings. The comment refers to the music video to Outkast's song, "Hey Ya."

I wouldn't put too much stock in how the twins will play with the general voters--they were speaking to the young crowd.

The Bush twins just might be responsible for getting more young voters to the polls.

I thought they were adorable, just like their mom, and dad.

They came across very real, and I think that is what makes people love that family.

CNN is talking about Kerry campaign right now and the headline at the bottom of the screen is KERRY CAMP PAIN.

OK, fess up - which one of you Freepers is running the Chyron machine over at CNN? :)

The Bush daughters weren't giving an overtly political speech. They were simply introducing their parents. Let's remember Jenna and Barbara were shielded from the glare of media attention by their parents. I don't get the feeling they were used as political props. And I thought their irreverent humor made their parents look human. Its hard for any one to say these two young ladies haven't been raised well. This is the first time the country has seen them in the public eye and well at 22 they can more than hold their own. As for their gracious mother, the First Lady further comment is superfluous.

That should tell people all they need to know. When the libs praise something, you know its your weak spot. When they hate something, you know its your strong point. imho

Didn't see the crawl but Major Garrett announced that a protester got a little too close to the Cheneys after Arnold spoke.

Laura was perfect. She told us so many personal things. Her Mom in a retirement home. Her Dad died of Alsheimers. These are problems we all face. Laura told us They've invited military people who've suffered loss, to the White House. She told those damn idiot democrats of George Bush's struggles to come to his hardest decisions. She let us know she was there to witness how Blair and Bush agonized together. She let us know Bush has her by his side, and we know, he's better for it.

shame on Fred and Mara for nitpicking the girls. (I think they wanted to seem fair and FOX can't be accused of sucking up to Bush now.) They're 20 not 30, they're giggly, not wiley, and they told us about themselves becasue that's why they were there. America has 20 something voters, and the voting parents who love them. This was an honest, and fresh, very appealing introduction to these two young women. They aren't polished political pros, they admittted as much, but they love their Dad, they're a normal family, and aren't we lucky to have them?
