Yes. Kerry's Algonquin Braintrust Roundtable of Fools decided to have a midnight speech/rally in Ohio tonight (30 minutes from now).
Kondracke just called the released text 'incredibly petty.'
Nope. The text of his speech is posted. He wouldn't be so stupid as to put Islam in context with terrorism.
I hit your post just as the prayer started. Stopped there with this on the screen.
I am so teary-eyed about his invoking blessings on our brave youngsters in the military - again at just the right time.
God, thank you for your Providence upon this convention...
OH I agree with Mort! Kerry is still going to be a day late and a dollar short....giving his foot stomping "you called me unpatriotic" speech tonight after this magnificent speech. He will look foolish!
Ralph Reed on CNN, repeating Bush's best lines, makes clear contrasts between Bush and Kerry. Jeff Greenberg says big cutbacks in auto industry gonna hurt Bush, whatcha gonna do about that Ralph? Ralph says, we focus on what we can control, we got the best candidate, and the best grass roots organization ever. Take that Jeffy!
Now Wolf Blitzer showing very well behaved protestors outside the Garden..then he shows audience at Springfield OH, the people waiting for Kerry and Edwards to speak.
Y'all, I was a nervous wreck through out this speech, becasue of the protestors, I"m glad it's over, but it has to be that this convention and this speech, will give us a great bump.
I deserve a break wiwth Lee Ann Womack!
Truth even from unwelcome corners!!
Jesus, thank you for Your protection of our President and delegates tonight.
Thank you to NY's finest!
Lee Ann Womack is fabulous....but those kids look bored.
It was very impressive. A nice touch. :-)
IS KERRY/EDWARDS GOING TO BE ON LARRY KING TONIGHT?????
Wouldn't be surprised if Peggy Noonan wrote that.
Good call. That was a Reagan character line if I've ever heard one. It had that feel of "slipped the bonds of earth to touch the face of God"..it was a stunning line.
I didn't know Chris Matthews voted for GWB until your post!
LOL, I missed your comment first time through I was trying so hard to keep up. I was wishing just a little that I got to grab the protester. I've never thrown a dirty punch in my life, but ....
Verified that she's only been sleeping 3 hours per night but holding up well. Arriving home tomorrow at 7:30 pm. I'll tuck her in tomorrow evening and wake her up Sunday morning.
She was on her way out to party like a rock star (as much as a 15 year old can) at a reception for the Michigan ? delegates, with a boy (shudder). I'd be worried if she wasn't a good kid. Choleraprincess is signing off from the RNC convention floor, for this election.
Hmmm, they better not put panties on his head or else the media will call it a war crime. LOL
The girls look like classy ladies tonight. It's about time.
Well, perhaps you can run for office someday since you are obviously superior to most of the republicans here or in DC. Let us know when you get on the ballot. If I qualify under your rules, perhaps you would allow me to campaign for you.
Excellent point! Kerry looked like he was on the verge of a breakdown.
George's eyes just kept twinkling.....:-)
PBS panel basically saying the speech, and the week as a whole are successes.
Ask your friend what it's always the liberals that get arrested at protests??
Oh and point out how republicans had more respect for Kerry and didn't disrupt his Convention speech
And I have it on good authority that no weapon formed against him shall prosper.
