Thank you for the new threads, the other one was getting crowded.
Biden’s pretty much doing standard Biden-ness.

This has been a little slow but Biden is bringing the PAIN now.

Wow, Biden has me in tears through this whole speech. Very powerful. Michelle looks as if she’s crying too!

“I sat beside him. I looked in your husband’s face. (pointing finger at Michelle).”
That was fucking strong.

I’m back. Nashville (airport) was lovely. In an airport kind of way. Cookville was very green. The Holiday Inn was more Inn than Holiday. Gas was way cheap but the air was super humid. We did our jobs and there was only one small fire that hardly anyone noticed. One of our team has been code-named ‘Boy Scout’ in honor of his talent at initiating combustion. I’ve been away for 36 hours and I’m going to bed now. Missed so much while internet-less on airplanes, etc. has Cole made bail for whatever?
ChrisB
It’s true, Michelle does look like she’s about to cry.
I think Joe Biden is the best liked vice president of my lifetime and perhaps since Teddy Roosevelt.
What do you think?

Biden better pick it up or he’s going to be outshined by a botoxed John Kerry or a drunk off her ass Jennifer Granholm.

I’m a big fan of Handsome Joe Biden. He is a genuine treasure in times of so many false fronts. He has suffered so many difficult times in his life, and he’s come roaring back. I am proud to have him as my Vice President.
Good on you, Mr Biden!

To me, the most inspiring and the most pathetic moment of last night’s convention was Elizabeth Warren’s speech.
bergman
ABL–the CNN director has an advance copy of the Biden speech, so he knows in advance where to point the cameras and how to call the shots.
When Biden talked about ‘the culture of dependency’ right around 10pm they showed cutaways of three black delegates in a row.
Curious.

What I love about all the Dem speakers is their sincerity. You just feel like they believe every word they say. And when they tell you how they respect someone or love them, you believe it to the depth of your heart.
Do I need to say that I don’t get this sincere vibe from people in the other party?
Mnemosyne
Also, before the prez comes on, I want to say as someone who has a stepmother that I loved how Dr. Jill referred to “our boys” when she was talking about her stepsons. Family is family, even when you gain them by marriage and not birth.

Soonergrunt
That was a very well delivered, very passionate speech. There were times when it was a little workmanlike, but that’s also Joe Biden’s personality, so ‘workmanlike’ fits like a glove. Joe Biden could be a plant manager who came up from the production line.

@Mary G: They actually had all that back in 06, but it was hard to notice with all that treason, torture, and economic collapses. Oh, and they were a little too busy getting a black guy named Hussein elected President in post 9-11 Amerikkka to crow about it.
That’s all.
Bill E Pilgrim
Alex Castellanos fact checks the Democrats: A lot of people are giving Barack Obama credit for getting us out of Iraq, but George W Bush deserves the credit for that.
Seriously.
Because “the surge”, which Obama was against.
So George W Bush started a war under false pretenses, but he deserves credit for ending it because of the way he conducted it which only kept us mired there for nearly a decade, but no longer! Because someone else ended it after he left office.
And everyone on CNN just sat there.

@Bill E Pilgrim:Castellanos is correct. The troops were pulled out under President Obaman according to a treaty with the Iraqis signed by President Bush.

@Bill E Pilgrim:
Bush signed the deal, that is true.
But,
‘ Because “the surge”, which Obama was against. ‘
is not true, and any body informed should know that. And everyone just sat there?

@Mary G:
True about the vids: a bit repetitive, but certainly well-done. So weird this year, the Republicans, who normally – if they can do nothing else – put on by far the slicker show, and keep the campaigns and conventions well in line and on-message; have cobbled together one of the worst national Presidential campaigns I’ve seen in a LOOONG time. Even Al Gore in 2000….

How’s that hope-y change-y thing working for us? Pretty good I’d say.
I never understood why making fun of hope in times of difficulty was a popular line for Palin. What the hell is wrong with those people?
Bill E Pilgrim
@lacp: Saying that Bush deserves credit for ending the Iraq war because of “the surge” is like saying a burglar deserves credit for not burgling your house anymore because when he took enough stuff he finally left.
Hill Dweller
@Bill E Pilgrim: Iraq wouldn’t sign the deal until Obama won, because they didn’t trust McCain/Republicans.
Moreover, Bush designed the deal after Obama had been calling for a leave by date.

@Hill Dweller:
And the neocons were sure eager to figure out a way to stay, the hell with some damn agreement paper thingee. And McCain thinks once US troops help a country get itself free of oppression or whatever, its our duty to stay there forever to help them ‘do the right thing’
That is the correct contrast for this election: GOP vision versus Dem.
