1. days 3 and 4 feature the word "stronger" in the thematic description

Looks like (fortunately) the GOP hasn't been able to corner the market on catchy signature words in the label/values war.

[Myrina]

2. Lieberman ?

:wtf:

[geek tragedy]

5. Big tent.

Except we're not pretending that Lieberman is representative of the Democratic party, unlike the Rethugs who showcase their only few social moderates.

[riverwalker]

12. all together now 1,2,3.....

F**K Lieberman!!!
:thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:

[hyphenate]

17. A United Front

includes Lieberman. We need to get off our criticism of Lieberman and remember that he still represents a percentage of moderate Democrats. I don't care for him personally, but he's not as big a traitor as Zell Miller, for example.

There are also a lot of moderates out there who look to Lieberman as being their representative within the Democratic Party. Just as there are many farther left liberals who embrace more progressive candidates, there are many who would be lost to the dark side if moderates and centrists such as Lieberman didn't exist.

3. Great list except for necon Loserman.

Will the full convention program stream or be broadcast on C-SPAN (or MSNBC or CNN)? I know the nets only plan on 1 hour per night of coverage.

[madfloridian]

4. C-Span is supposed to carry.

That is 3 times on Tuesday that Dean is supposed to speak. How does one do that? Take Back America at 3 with Michael Moore, Revolutionary Women on Tuesday also.

[theHandpuppet]

6. Lieberman but not Byrd?

Who would y'all rather hear at the podium of the convention?

[arcos]

8. depends... would Byrd speak about gays and lesbians? n/t

[hyphenate]

18. Perhaps Byrd

is encoumbered by health concerns. He is not the youngest man anymore, and perhaps he doesn't want to travel and be caught in the maelstrom that is going to be in the heart of Boston next week.

[WI_DEM]

7. thanks for the list

now we know when some of our favorites will be speaking.

[faithnotgreed]

9. powerhouse! so glad to see kendrick meek is on the list. i will watch

every minute of the convention with that lineup.

of course, there are a couple weak links but overwhelmingly positive for me. ill also get to hear my rep, eleanor holmes norton, and shes on the last night....

thanks for posting this.
now ill have to figure out the best way to watch - which stations etc.

[AlCzervik]

15. Aye! I like Meek alot

i've watched him on cspan many times, i'm glad he's a speaker. Glad to see Nancy Pelosi as well, i hope Dino Feinstein retires and she runs for that seat.

[joanski01]

10. Thanks loads for this list.

C-Span claims that they will have gavel-to-gavel coverage. My fridge and freezer are loaded. I plan to stay glued to C-Span for the whole week.

[Neshanic]

11. Lieberman? Is he doing the plate spinning too?

[Rebellious Republican]

13. I wonder how Joe will handle the boos when he is introduced?

Please, someone has to capture the audio of this and post back here at DU!

[JDPriestly]
