I'm sure the DNC is turning out better than the RNC so far. And also, we don't expect anyone throwing their nuts at a black camerawoman and saying "this is how we feed animals". Bonus points.

The independent governor's speech highlighted one of my major problems with the current "Republican Party": they no longer have a meaningful attachment to the word "conservative" in the historical sense.
See Teddy Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Goldwater, heck even Reagan for historical details if memory or education jogs are needed They're also hitting hard on the rampant misogyny the GOP convention and the lead-up incidents presented us with.

So many current GOP supporters love Reagan, but Reagan must be spinning in his grave right now. At about 1,000 RPM, too.

If you gave a pop quiz on Reagan to the average GOP supporter, most of them would fail it. It is a good short story on how "histo-myths" like Robin Hood, King Arthur, or even certain religious leaders happen but we've watched it happen WITHIN ONE HUMAN LIFESPAN. Imagine that... that's what misinformation blasted at an under-informed electorate accomplishes.
Lily Ledbetter is knocking a few home runs in her speech - concise and to the point of exactly what the misogyny of the right costs. "Equal pay for equal work" should be obviously to anyone but a vicious idiot.... hmmmm.

Turned on Fox after Michele Obama's speech and the bottom crawl featured the current Republican talking point of the growing debt.Truly a wondetful bit of subliminal propoganda.
That being said, what a great fairly nonpartisian speech. Great presentation and body language with a near perfect oration and remarkably well crafted. From a purely technical standpoint, with theme and narrative well presented, this was a pitch perfect opening night. |

I tell yall this, you can tell a difference between a RNC and DNC?
Tonight, most of the speakers knock it out of the box with Mr. Patrick and Mr Castro, and Mr Strictland did awesome (Mr. Patrick is going to get alot of love in the next 4 years)

Yep, the DNC was really good(I didn't see the RNC that much). Esp Michelle's speech. You could really feel the emotions in her speech. If her intentions were to reach the audience that she sympathizes with them, she did an outstanding job doing it. Too bad that I was at work and didn't see much of it, but I did catch O'Malley's and Castro's speechs, and those had a strong message as well. Indeed. It sure made me laugh !

... what a cop out excuse. You, as a democrat foot soulja, should know there's a lot of disillusioned 0bama voters and this shouldnt be overlooked, discounted and under appreciated. Srsly... pray for 0bama Psalm 109:8 that his friday prayers speech will translate to more motivated voters. Meanwhile on the gop front... Mittey may not be the top AAA top choice but the deeply committed would be rejoiced to see the eviction day come january |

There's a lot of disillusioned republicans who are wondering what the hell happened to their party that's forcing them to vote democrat instead. Maybe you should look into that?

Okay, that thing from the RNC is far worse than the thing that happened at the DNC. They want to try and stamp out potential nominees from splinter groups? This is just the GOP doing more to try to secure the kind of power they want. They lust for power. They are obsessed with it. You can't say they aren't when they've spent all of Obama's first term trying to make him a one term president, all to the disadvantage of America. Now unfortunately, the Romney campaign will use that thing from the DNC in attack ads.
