Who will rock the house tonight?

[Feanorcurufinwe]

Who will give the most exciting, talked about speech of the night?

[jpgray]

1. Edwards, but I'm more interested in DK, myself

I never really got on board with Edwards in the primary, though I recognized his ability. Kucinich spoke to me more than anyone else on the issues, and so I hope they make good use of him. I thought the convention could have used Dean better, incidentally.

[FlaGranny]

2. I don't know.

There are several there who could give the most exciting speech.

[noiretextatique]

3. the house will be rocking all night

that's my prediction. really looking forward to hearing all the speakers tonight, especially sharpton.

[terrya]

4. As much as I like Edwards, it's Sharpton's night.

Al Sharpton is always good...I expect his best tonight. :-)

[democratreformed]

5. Yeah, me too.

Rev. Al's the best.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

6. Rev. Al said he is going to answer Bush's question

from his speech to the Urban League:

“Does the Democrat party take African American voters for granted? I know plenty of politicians assume they have your vote. But do they earn it and do they deserve it? Have the traditional solutions of the Democrat party truly served the African American community?” asked Bush.

[democratreformed]

10. I can't wait. n/t

[noonwitch]

7. Edwards, but all the men are going to go ga-ga over Gov. Granholm

I'm sure Edwards will give a great speech.

[GreenArrow]

8. Sharpton

Of course, the speeches are said to have been "vetted" so who knows. Be fun if someone were to go off script.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

11. Based on the last two days, I don't know if I believe that rumor

the only speech that really seemed tame was Dean, and I think after Iowa he just 'overdid' it in toning himself down.

[GreenArrow]

15. well it's a power packed lineup

so we'll see how they do.

I heard that Dean did not write his own speech. If that's true, it would have been interesting to see how he would have gone if given free rein.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

21. I heard that on DU, nowhere else.

I personally find it highly doubtful that Dean is going to suddenly allow other people to put words in his mouth. Good soldier or not, that doesn't sound like Dean to me.

[HFishbine]

9. Hound Dog Taylor (eom)

[Beloved Citizen]

12. I voted Edwards

...but Al Sharpton will not be far behind. He is going to critique Shrub's performance at the Urban League con, and it should be some very funny stuff.

[redqueen]

13. Well that's two questions

Who will rock the house? Kucinich.

Who will be most talked about? Anyone but Kucinich.

[Literate Tar Heel]

30. yeah, it is 2 separate questions

hopefully Edwards will be most talked about because if he isn't, it means somebody else said something really stupid in their speech

I would expect the most entertaining to be either Edwards or Sharpton.

[Dying Eagle]

14. Sharpton.....

Will rip Bush a new one. Thats if the DNC lets him be himself. That will be must see TV.

Edwards will do great as well. That guy can get energy and excitement out of a church Bingo Hall!!

I also think Dennis will give a great speech. i hope he speaks about the evils of WAR. Thank You Dennis, The Peach Man of the Party

[LiberalManiacfromOC]

16. Both Edwards an DK

but Dennis is the one im concentrating on!

[TahitiNut]

17. Given the attitudes of the delegates, Sharpton and Kucinich

... will receive the most vigorous responses from the floor of the convention.

I often think 'liberals' are habitually able to take "self-denial" from being a virtue to being a masochistic fault. If I had a nickel for every person who denied himself the representation of a Sharpton or Kucinich, whose policy positions are far more closely aligned with "the base" than the cluster of road-middlers (who're more "electable"? by whom?), well...

[K-W]

18. Smack the donkey!!!!

I love hearing sharpton, but im very interested in what Kucinich has to say.

[DrWeird]

19. Sharpton's going to be huge.

This might just be the most important night of his career.

And I expect him to make the most of it.

God bless him.

[tishaLA]

20. Edwards, but Sharpton will be fun

I've never been a huge Edwards fan, but he is a very good speaker and he will have the convention in his hands. Should be a fun night.

[dissention]

22. Easy

There's no question that Sharpton will give the most rousing speech, he's a master. Plus, he'll be back int he spotlight with everyone listening to him for a few minutes, he won't fail to ignite the crowd.

[LWolf]

23. three of them.

Kucinich, bringing passion, integrity, loyalty, and courage to the podium.

Edwards, bringing positive energy and hope.

And Sharpton...just being Sharpton.

I don't know whose will get talked about the most, but I expect all 3 to be exciting.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

24. Well I almost limited the poll to just those three

but then I figured why not throw as many as possible in the mix?

[LWolf]

25. You're right.

I just can't pick. I don't know who will rock the rest of the house more; I just know I'm looking forward to all three!

[JohnKleeb]

26. they'll all do lovely

but who I am most looking forward to?
Elizabeth Edwards- I am sure she'll do great, havent heard her much, Ive heard Teresa more yet to hear her speech last might but I hear Elizabeth is impressive.
Kucinich- I am sure he'll have something great to say
Edwards= He'll continue to prove to me why Ive come to like him so much
Cate Edwards- She's smart, beautiful and with Edwards blood no doubt in my mind a great speaker
Sharpton- Sure to make me laugh and have a great line.

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. In the words of John Stewart last night, Sharpton will talk eloquent

circles around everyone. I really enjoy listening to him speak! :hi:

[napi21]

28. I love to listed to Al Sharpton's wit and good answers, but

Edwards will rock the house tonight!

I will listed to both for sure.

The same as Monday night. There were some fantastic speakers who got LOTS of ovations, but the Big Dog rocked the building.

[NoPasaran]

29. Edwards and Kucinich

They both rocked at the Texas Convention last month; I expect the same tonight.
