Former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, who hosts a primetime show on Current TV, told her network colleague Joy Behar she was "certainly shocked" by the reaction her speech received at the Democratic National Convention. "It was like a wave to ride. It was very fun," Granholm said.

Granholm delivered a fiery defense of the auto industry bailout during her appearance at the convention.

8. Jenn was born in Canada....

No white house for her, but she is a Lawyer & expressed interest in the Supreme Court.

Her dressing down Alito, Thomas & Scalia would be a site to see.

She also said she would not like the house/senate.

15. Damn right she's a lawyer.

She was my first "boss" in the legal profession. She was the Editor In Chief of the Harvard Civil Liberties/Civil Rights Law Review when I was a first-year student and staffer. She was a very good boss and a neat person even then.

And man, did she tear it up at the DNC!!

18. Was she Canadian or American

Because all you have to be is the child of one American Citizen in order to a full American Citizen.

[former9thward]

21. She was born in Canada of Canadian parents.

[lunatica]

22. Thanks

I guess that doesn't preclude her from being Governor then. I would have thought it did.

[geardaddy]

26. Well, it didn't preclude Ahnold from being Governator.

[lunatica]

31. Unfortunately

We're paying the price in California

[JNelson6563]

30. Senate when Levin retires

Which may well be in 2014. He's been there since '78.

17. Now that's a wink I like! Welcome to DU, btw!

Glad you're here! Hope you're as fired up as she is! We need you!





Now get to work.

[kooljerk666]

4. I watch her every night............

and I was really impressed.

She also has a good sense of humor, John Fugalsang & Cenk & Eliot had her laffing out loud quite frequently.

beautiful, smart & funny........................................I like her, alot.

[seabeyond]

5. i loved her speech... loved the strength and power in her voice. worked for me. and

more so cause some were so outraged she was not.... feminine.... enough.

booyah.

[kimbutgar]

6. She got everyone so fired up. Even at home I felt the enthusiam coming from her...Go Gov Granholm!

[Warpy]

7. Fired up and not acting like a lady!

and this is what we need more of, although the ladies who lunch will tut tut about it through their pursed lips as they dab them with a napkin so as not to disturb the lipstick.

Her show on Current TV is good and getting better. However, if she ever gets sick of broadcasting, I'm sure public office will be hers again.

9. Her speech was one of the highlights of the Convention for me...

I loved her passion, her engaging way of taking it to Romney and the repubs, her humor, the way she gave the number of auto jobs saved AND created since the auto rescue, doing it State by State, it was very powerful. I loved every bit of it.

[Scuba]

10. So good I watched it twice (so far).

[barbtries]

12. lol

me too

[mountain grammy]

14. me three

Will all the old Democrats please sit down.. oops, that would be me too and I love this stuff!

[barbtries]

11. one of the best speeches of the convention

imo. i loved it.

[malaise]

13. She was fabulous

Loved her

[LeftofObama]

16. Love her!

I especially liked the part where Robme gets the elevator and we get the shaft.

[Bandit]

37. Rmoney's cars get the elevator...

And we definitely get the shaft if Republicans are in charge..

[LittleGirl]

19. I've watched it three times

and I'm going to hunt it down anytime I feel low because it just FIRES ME UP! I loved it! Love the wink too. She's beautiful.

[eissa]

20. One of my favorite convention speeches EVER

and one for the history books. I've watched it multiple times, and it gets me fired up each time! She was amazing. It's too bad she's ineligible for the WH, I think she'd make an excellent candidate.

[napkinz]

23. Romney tries to emulate ....

[Siwsan]

25. Can a Canadian born, naturalized American citizen be appointed to the Supreme Court?

She was a great Attorney General, for Michigan. I'd love to see her on the SCOTUS. Scalia would probably blow a gasket, and then President Obama could appoint ANOTHER to the court.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. Yes. The restriction doesn't apply to the Supremes.

[DeSwiss]

27. This how we do it......

- K&R!!!

[onecent]

29. My friends and I LOVED IT. I have watched it and forwarded to many

people.

It is one of my FAVORITE SPEECHES of the night. I retired from Ford Motor Company in 2002. I wasn't in the
plant, so I wasn't Union...I was in the sales division. Thus, they stuck it to us with getting the benefits until our
death...but I love to see Ford and the other automobile companies succeed.

SHE ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

32. her speech blew the roof off of the Convention Center in Charlotte

I was in the area opened up for a viewing party for people who couldn't get into the Stadium 'real' convention when the venue was changed.

She caught our attention from the beginning and cheering started early on and eventually reached a level that was roof-RAISING!! It was awesome to feel; by the time she said that Romney gave his cars the elevator and the employees the shaft it was over, we were on our feet and screaming a scream I still feel!!

It was magnificent.

[cr8tvlde]

33. Ditto to All of the Above plus ...

I think of that powerful speech everytime I get in my car and put it in R to back out of the rut (driveway) and into D to move forward. LOL

[SoapBox]

34. Love her, love her, love her!

See my tag line...'nuff said.

[madrchsod]

35. i guess i`ll have to watch it...

it must be online..

[RagAss]

36. Best Speech Ever !
