Are We Feeling Better?

[Doctor Jack]

So, we are done with the republican convention and the consensus seems to be that it was highly mediocre and rather bizarre at times. Romney is still behind in the polls and doesn't seem like his bounce is ever going to come, the betters are putting their money on Obama, our guy is at his highest levels ever over at 538, and now 3 major voter suppression laws look like they are going to be thrown into the trash by those evil judges that want to uphold basic constitutional rights (ass holes).

Do we feel good tonight?

[B Calm]

1. After watching the GOP convention

I feel the democrats will win this election with ease.

Next week the people will see a vibrant political party full of vision!

[chollybocker]

2. All that, and a bag of incumbancy chips.

[Kalidurga]

3. I was already feeling optimistic...

but now I feel fantastic. Mitt really out did himself this time. He was over shadowed by a chair.

[longship]

4. Ahem. An EMPTY chair. nt

[wiredshut]

13. The chair had an advantage over Mitt.

The chair knew where it stood. It held its position. And probably had a few extra IQ points than Mitt.

[calimary]

15. OMG! Good one, wiredshut! Welcome to DU!

Glad you're here 'cause we sure need you - and your clever postings!



Now get to work.

[Cha]

14. Lol..I'm still laughing at Chair Humor! Best

Humor in ages!

I saw the clip from Rachel' show tonight that was all about The Chair took the spot of mitt's super duper Bio Vid! They pulled the political smooth rnc Bio Vid for Eastwood!

If Clint really wasn't a sabotuer..he may think he owes mitt, Big TIME!

[CTyankee]

5. Yup. Amazing how fast the gloom lifted after Clint's chair routine and Mitt's snorer of

speech. Then, the spectacle of Rove voicing his desire to murder Akin, and the Akin's lame ass response, tearing off any mask of decency (not to mention sanity) left in the republican party.

Yup, feeling good. Feeling groovy...the lifting of the voter suppression laws in FL and OH is the best news of all. I was REALLY worried about those two states...

[tomm2thumbs]

6. yup, they could throw all kinds of money advertising a product, but if it sucks...

no one will buy it, no matter how many slick ads are floating around

at some point, the reality of how bad a candidate Mitt Romney is finally trumps the money of the wealthy, and thank god for that because there are days when I question if this country is truly losing a grip on reality and that goes for family members too

[Iliyah]

7. My God, there were some evil so called "Christians"

that attended the GOP Convention, I mean some real loonies. Twilight Zone anyone????

[Waiting For Everyman]

8. Yes, and Karl Rove might be hit with a big tax bill. (fingers crossed)

Plus, one of his hotsy-totsy billionaire donors' strategy huddles was infiltrated and reported on:

And if that isn't enough, there's the new Bain Bailout scandal which is just starting to heat up, all of it directly and personally Mittens' responsibility. To quote Keith Olbermann about it this morning, "Bain Bailout = Ballgame. See ya, Mitt". I'm thinking it'll simmer a while and be just about ripe for bringing up next week:

So yes, I for one am feeling a lot better (not counting the chickens before they're hatched or anything, but still)...

[calimary]

16. Kick for these links!

[Waiting For Everyman]

18. YW and update... I saw that Biden brought up the Bain Bailout already

(yesterday?, story in LBN?, not sure) so Team Obama must be confident that story is as good as it seems. I forget where Biden was yesterday, but he was with auto workers, somewhere in Ohio I think. That's the first public mention of it as far as I know.

[JohnnyRingo]

9. Feelin' groovy

Thanx for asking.

[byronius]

10. Very nice post. Thanks.

[wiredshut]

11. Better but..

still cautious and concerned. VOTE! More than just winning this election (and the house back), the GOP must be exterminated! Like black mold, they will return if not exterminated. This party has become foul and nasty beyond belief, and could give a damn about this country. I NEVER thought that in my lifetime, Nixon would look like a decent Republican.

[cali]

12. I'll be nervous about this election until November 7

but I'm glad for the lousy repub convention.

[The Doctor.]

17. In the sense of the 'Royal "We"',

Yes.
