David Gergen on CNN just said:

[pnwmom]

If they have two more nights like this, they could break this race open.

Thinks Deval had the most powerful speech.

[msongs]

1. depends on how many people are actually watching besides political junkies lol nt

[Jennicut]

13. It is not the # of people watching at the moment, it is how the convention

is reported the next day. Also important is word of mouth through social media. Even some on CNN are admitting the speeches were fantastic and full of passion and real emotion.

[LiberalFighter]

14. Especially when Twitter is media

[Jennicut]

17. Yes, twitter is very influential.

A speech does not need to be seen by tons of people when people can retweet about what they saw to others that did not.

[LiberalFighter]

20. I did my share of retweeting and tweeting tonite.

And replying to some I follow to either agree with them or give them different thought.

[progressivebydesign]

21. like tonight when someone on NPR chose to say this of Michelle's speech?

"she's saying that because they're afraid that people won't show up and vote for him again."

Of all the beautiful things said, that person chose to turn it into something negative.

[Jennicut]

22. Some of it will be crappy, but some of the commentary on her speech

was very good on CNN and MSNBC. And lots of talk about it on twitter that was positive.

[garthranzz]

2. Where? Can't find any commentators streaming on the net

MSNBC? CNN? ABC? links?

[otohara]

6. Rocking Roosters

Wish I could post link... Type in RR and MSNBC

[garthranzz]

9. thanks n/t

[pnwmom]

7. That was CNN. I knew that MSNBC would be saying good things.

I wanted to see how it was playing elsewhere.

[TeamPooka]

29. If President Obama's speech makes Hannity cry we win.

[speedoo]

3. Bergen or Gergen?

Whoever it is, it's an understatement. They may have already broken it open.

[pnwmom]

8. You're right! I was typing too fast or my spell check failed. Something! n/t

[SoapBox]

4. So many speakers were on FIRE!

I loved this and can hardly wait for more. I'll stick with CSPAN so I don't miss any thing.

[pnwmom]

10. I watched most of it on C-span.But I flipped around the channels afterwards

to see how people were reacting.

[robinlynne]

12. Thank-you for the great idea! I just watched on regular tv. only one hour.....

[qwlauren35]

25. I watched on barackobama. com

I tried PBS briefly but didn't want to see the Interviews. Just the Speeches. Did CSPAN play the entire thing from 6-11?

[monmouth]

5. Deval has my vote. He was awesome..n/t

[ailsagirl]

11. He really is!!!

[calimary]

16. I just kept wondering if maybe we were watching one of the next presidents.

He was IMPRESSIVE!!!!

They ALL were, on that stage tonight! Mayor Castro! Governor Patrick! Ms. Duckworth! Ms. Ledbetter! And our First Lady as the headliner!!!!!!!!

FABULOUS!!!!!!!

[LiberalFighter]

15. I thought Castro was better. But Deval was good too. Probably 2nd.

Rahm was at the bottom of the barrel.

[abumbyanyothername]

19. Rahm probably knows

we all hate him.

[woodsprite]

18. I'm gonna have to catch up with all the speeches

Since I was helping my son do homework all evening. I did get to see Michelle's though. So glad it went so well tonight and was so well received.

[Carla in Sequim]

23. What a great first night!

My husband and I loved all the speeches. We ARE the good guys!

[cash__whatiwant]

24. wish deval could have made his way in primetime nt

[evrstrong]

26. I agree

Deval had the best speech by far!

And more than that, he had the skills to deliver it....something I haven't seen up until this point.

It's a pleasure to see someone who knows how!

[mzmolly]

27. It was a fabulous

opening night, indeed!

[davidn3600]

28. Ratings are bound to drop tomorrow with the NFL starting

Cowboys and Giants starting at 8:30.

[Brother Buzz]

31. Split screen

[Bake]

30. Just play the First Lady's speech over and over.

We win! She was ON FIRE and ON POINT. Fabulous.

Bake

[TroyD]

32. Gergen has been pro-Romney this year

So this is a good sign.
