I try to watch the cable coverage but my stomach is too weak.

MSNBC has been pretty good tonight, aside from Scarborough bullshitting about being “colorblind”.
You’re not missing much.
Not with Tweety asking Mike Murphy and Harold Ford if the convention is going well, with Murphy expecting an McSame upset win and Ford saying McSame is motivated 110% and telling some story about the old guy gashing his head in on a helicopter door frame in Iraq and being tough and shit.
Murphy’s now basically saying the Democrats who don’t like Barack are explained by the unfortunate fact there’s racism out there, unlike the Republicans.
Ford at least called him out and said everyone will come through in the end because McSame is Bush and they’ve hated the last eight years.
I dunno.
Big Dog’s about due on.
Perhaps I am fortunate to not have cable. I only have my computer, so I am forced to watch on Cspan. Poor, poor me…
I hope Luam is having a good time!!
CNN and MSNBC were both making my blood pressure spike(especially that asshole John King). Then I found that I have PBS in HD! Hooray!!!
Took the advice of ericy and fabooj and tonight we tuned into CSPAN. Whew! What a difference. Thanks to both of you for reminding us we do have a choice.
Slick Willie is nailing it!!
Yeah! God damn Bill Clinton gives a good speech.
I knew he had it in him.
Now if he can just keep from undermining Obama in snide comments for the next 10 weeks.
So Fox News goes to Karl Rove and Sean Hannity for comment, it is just laughable. “Thanks but No Thanks!” was killer a line.
I gotta admit. Bill sucked it up and did what he needed to do tonight, he flat out said Barack Obama was indeed ready to be President, coming from a President.
He did it when it counted and passed the torch. He kicked McSame’s ass. He even sold Joe Biden.
Now will it hold?
Damn, Kerry is ripping McCain/repubs a new one and only CPAN is showing it.
GOD BLESS C-SPAN!! Without it America would be completely in the grip of Fox censorship of all DNC events. With C-SPAN I have a real time front row seat for the entire convention.
It’s still a mystery to me how Fox was given the main broadcast feed out of the Pepsi center. Am I missing something or did the DNC sell out to the highest bidder?
I couldn’t believe MSNBC blabbed over the beginning of Kerry’s speech, showed maybe the middle third, then just cut him off so they could blabber some more of the same tired bullshit. That’s when I convinced my fellow watchers to flip over to PBS. I’m told CNN didn’t show it at all, and who cares about Fuxxnews?
And of course the broadcast networks didn’t show anything at all before the Biden hour.
Clinton and Kerry ripped into McCain. Good stuff.
I can’t wait to see Biden rip McCain a new a–hole. 🙂
I was very impressed by Kerry’s speech too. Much better than I remember him.
Oh Shit, BO in da House!!
I’m just one guy watching at home on C-span, so what do I know, but I thought that tonight was GREAT!!! Clinton, Kerry, Biden all gave great speeches, passionate, hard-hitting. And when Barack came out on stage at the end and flashed his million-dollar smile I saw a confidence that you rarely see in a democrat.
Of course, tomorrow Richard Cohen will explain that it was really all a failure, so I’d better log off now and enjoy it while I can…
Bill Clinton did well. I have to say, as a Democrat, this is the best night I’ve had in many, many years. I have a hope that I haven’t felt in my entire life, that maybe we really do have a chance to climb back up the cliff from which our Democracy has been dangling, to reclaim a future stolen from us 40 years ago. Maybe. Just maybe, we can get back on track and become the country that fulfills the promise of its birth.
I think tomorrow will be something incredibly special. The fact that Obama’s speech falls on 45th anniversary to the day of Dr. King’s “I have a dream” speech is already giving me chills.
I’ve been a basket case this week, fighting back tears through many speeches, afraid to dream myself. But I want to dream again. I want to think that things can get better, and not simply worse. And I think no matter what happens they WILL get worse for a while yet. But if anyone can turn this around, I truly believe Obama and his well-picked VP of Biden can. And if the Clintons really mean what they say, and will pull together, if this party can really pull in one direction, for once, we could be looking at an amazing, and positive, future.
Here’s hoping.
