Ok, now that a bit of time has passed, what DNC speech sticks out the most in your mind?

Bill was great. So was Michelle. So was Barack. So was Joe. But honestly, I sort of expected that...they ARE great people, and great orators. While I watched the debate, Nuns on a Bus and Tammy Duckworth stood out a lot, but if I could use one speech to show a conservative what we MEAN, it's this guy, Rep. Cleaver.



Phenomenal. Just. Phenomenal.

What was yours?

His speech made my sheets rise.

"Ask Osama Bin Laden if he's better off now than 4 years ago"

"Romney was for it before he was against it"

In a (God willing!!) Obama 2nd term after Hillary retires. Awesome choice.

She had me in tears and standing up and applauding at the TV set. I was by myself and with my dog at the time but I didn't care. I was so moved and so proud she was our First Lady!

I can't think of how good the First Lady's was without thinking about how great President Clinton's was, and vise versa.

Being from PA I had not heard much about him. Wow! As another poster here said, "that sound you hear is the GOP shitting themselves--'we're gonna have *another* black President!'"
