Blown away
As a staunch heterosexual male, I can comfortably say I had tears in my eyes during Biden's speech. I'm so proud to be a supporter of his from the start. I watched the speech from my newly finished movie theater in my basement (101" screen!) and it was amazing!

FYI for all you original bidenites, I still read the forums every day (multiple times), I just don't post much ;)

2. This is the best part of Joe getting the VP spot -
all of our fellow Bidenites are coming home to roost


Beau's speech was amazing! I think he had that whole audience in tears.

3. Well it's good to see you, you lurker! :-)
It's really a wonderful time for us all -- to see all the support and appreciation for Joe. I'm so happy for him.

4. Long time no see Ben!!!
I loved watching the audience, everyone was crying. Robert Wexler was wiping away tears. I think Bill Clinton was a bit misty eyed too.

5. Did You See...
Michelle tearing up...?

I'm not ashamed to say that I wept while Beau was speaking...and even when Joe spoke.

I don't know why...Maybe it is because of "what might have been."

13. I think so too.
Last night he had the audience in the palm of his hand, right where we have all been for a long time. I'm so glad that the country will now learn why we have loved him and his family so much.

7. Everything was so moving and touching
Whenever the tears let up, they'd show someone in the audience wiping their eyes and I'd start all over again. What a night!

11. I was in tears before he even spoke
And now I am in tears again reading this thread. :cry:

I have loved Biden since the 70's and have always wanted him to be President.

I originally wanted a Biden/Obama ticket but I'll take it, as long as they are both on the ticket.

I was so proud last night watching out party come together.

I never heard Beau speak. He was wonderful. I know his father is very proud of him.

It was so wonderful to see his entire family on stage. I was glad that Obama didn't stay on stage too long and he allowed Biden to shine in the spotlight.

I'm drooling over your 101" screen! Do you have a theater popcorn maker, too? ;)
