CSPAN --- Jefferson-Jackson Dinner @ 9PM ET (Thread #2)

[Khephra]

Continue here please!

:-)

[Khephra]

1. Kucinich up now

He started off a bit weak, but now he's really cooking!

[pruner]

2. he sounds his usual shrill self to me

[rwheeler31]

5. This is the worst reception I have ever had.

What is wrong with c-span?

[w13rd0]

12. I think...

...they are phoning the video in over a 9600 baud modem...

[bleedingheart]

3. Kucinich started off a bit slow but he is hitting Bush and Halliburton

hard...

He has a very clear message...

[Khephra]

6. He's a strong finisher

I don't have any problems with angry candidates, as I'm angry as well. But he could stand turning it down a notch or two.

[bleedingheart]

7. now he is yelling... all good things and he is endorsing all of them

"Every candidate here is ready..."

seems like he is uniting with the other Democrats...good message!

[kyrasdad]

4. Holy Sheeeet...

Who put the speedo in Kucinich's coffee... man is ON fire...

[rbnyc]

8. JOIN THE ICC!!!!

It's so important that he has this chance to say these things.

[otohara]

9. Kucinich Yelling Gets On My Nerves

I love the guy, but that yelling makes me want to run & hide.

[Jackhammer Jesus]

10. Great speech from DK!

:wow:

[chimpymustgo]

11. Great reception for Edwards. And a kiss from Hillary.

ooh.

[La_Serpiente]

13. John Edwards

is giving a pretty good speech.

[bleedingheart]

15. yeah he is... the blimp thing is weird.. though..his name isn't big enough

they all are doing a pretty good job of not slamming each other...there are some undercurrents... but slight...

[chimpymustgo]

16. Edwards is tearing the roof off the sucker!

Not going to put down the great Democratic party.

You ask those insurance companies if John Edwards is a nice guy.

Ready to rumble.

[rbnyc]

20. I agree.

I think they're working together pretty well. The theme of the evening really is that we have a lot of talent in the democratic party.

[kyrasdad]

14. ya know...

it IS nice to hear what they WILL do for a change... instead of just Bush is bad... I mean we ALL know that... but it is nice to hear some "we will do this"

[BuckeFushe]

17. Very small contingent of Edwards supporters

n/t

[chimpymustgo]

19. You are so kidding, right. Edwards has the place packed.

I knew Dean would have lots of folks, but never expected Edwards to have such a big contingency.

He gave a great speech.

[BuckeFushe]

22. UH, they appear to be in one small section

n/t

[kyrasdad]

21. watch what happens when dean and clark come in

all i can think of is...

"and the crowd went crazy, when tommy walked in the room"

now that I am thoughoughly done aging myself...

[Khephra]

23. Clark isn't speaking here tonight

He's not appearing. Neither is Sharpton and Lieberman.

[kyrasdad]

25. that's right... ooops

:silly:

[Pastiche423]

26. Tommy can you hear me?

Or his my head going in the wrong direction?

[bleedingheart]

18. All of them are talking about what they want to do and what they stand for

that is great!

[pruner]

24. FYI. in case anyone's been wondering…

the introductions HRC is reading were provided by each of the candidates.

[sfecap]

27. Also...in case you were wondering....

...Edwards is the son of a millworker. :-)

[Pastiche423]

29. lol!

And don't forget, his grandpappy was a sharecropper!

[chimpymustgo]

36. Damn skippy! Edwards was on fire.

nt

[drfemoe]

47. what was his song?

eom

[chimpymustgo]

56. "I was born in a small town..." John Cougar Mellencamp.

Good one.

[rbnyc]

37. I was wondering...

...thanks.

I think that's a good idea actually. Her endorsement will mean a lot.

[Khephra]

28. Good speech by Kerry so far

.

[bleedingheart]

30. Kerry is good

but he needs to talk about what he is going to do as well... We all know Bush is an ass...but I want to hear Kerry's message!

[drfemoe]

32. wine with dinner?

or is he just tired?

[bleedingheart]

33. Now he is on message! I like hearing plans...

I enjoy a good Bush Bash but I want plans!

[sfecap]

31. Kerry's doing a "shout along"!

All together now..."a raw deal"!

:bounce:

[Skwmom]

34. Kerry is EXCELLENT tonight.

Congratulations to Kerry supporters. This is a man I would be proud to call my president.

[chimpymustgo]

39. Raw deal vs. real deal. Good theme.

Kerry was quite good tonight.

[kyrasdad]

35. all of them have been good so far...

loud... but good

[drfemoe]

38. wtf?

[Khephra]

40. Money time!

I think we only have Dean and Braun left to go. Am I missing anyone with Sharpton, Clark, and Lieberman being elsewhere?

[drfemoe]

45. that's the way I counted

Dean and Braun to finish up . woo hoo

[BuckeFushe]

42. This is what we are all about, not $1500 hot dog roasts

n/t

[kyrasdad]

41. does this bucket thing bring back memories...

of being in church... where the hell is Hillary?

[Khephra]

43. Hillary is talented

But I don't know if she's ever perfected her auction voice.

;-)

[bleedingheart]

44. grassroots politics involves buckets or selling 50/50 tickets

this is all too familiar to me...

[kyrasdad]

46. granted...

but it just seems a bit tacky to me to be doing it TV... couldn't they have a little table off to the side?

[BuckeFushe]

49. It's perfect, quite a contrast to the "Pioneers" BushCo recruits

n/t

[kyrasdad]

54. THIS is true

off point... love your handle by the way Bucke... took me a few minutes to figure out what it was the other night during the debates...

ah, senility...

[pruner]

50. I totally agree

it seems very tacky to me.

[bleedingheart]

59. Tacky to some but down to earth to others

as the other poster noted...These aren't Pioneers in Palm Beach having their personal secretaries write out checks for them.

The fact that it is on TV shouldn't interfere with their tradition. In fact sometimes this type of event is the only way the local Dems raise their money!

[Khephra]

48. I hope they have a warm-up speech

cause it's unfair to Braun and Dean to have had the room "built up" emotionally only to have a fundraising intermission right before their speeches.

Ahhhh...but the Deanies are chanting "We want Dean!" pretty loudly, so maybe I'm worried over nothing.

[Rose Siding]

51. They are playing Dixie Chicks!

Ready to Run

[w13rd0]

52. With the order of the speakers...

...and the pause and fundraising before bringing Dean out...well, I'm not going to draw any comparisons to a auditorium concert...

[Khephra]

57. I don't know if you saw his earlier entrance

But it sure reminded me of a few of the concerts I've see. Dean didn't come out on the floor, but on the second level where a big section of his supporters were. He worked his way through the crowd. It was pretty damn impressive.

[Field Of Dreams]

53. Wow! $650.00 for Sen. Harkin's tie.

There's a certain red tie of General Clark's that I would love to see auctioned off. :evilgrin:

(Disclaimer: I'm a Clark supporter so I'm allowed)

[Jackhammer Jesus]

55. Now, I could be wrong, but...

I think they want Dean.

:shrug:

[kyrasdad]

58. looks like the Doctor is in...

[Khephra]

60. Oh yes he is!

:bounce:

[babzilla]

91. yup

[Room101]

61. They cut the MIC on the crowd

I didn't here the crowd yelling and chanting, was that just my TV?

[Field Of Dreams]

64. I noticed that too ... thought it was technical problem

but maybe not.

[TheWebHead]

62. Why are they filtering the crowd noise?

They're either playing music over the crowd or just silence. It's like they're trying to filter the ambiance. Perhaps so that the viewers aren't influenced by the crowd reaction?

[Khephra]

65. The sound level has been screwy all night

Usually it's cut in and out during the high points of each of the candidate's speech. It's been a problem all night.

[bleedingheart]

66. I agree... why the filtering...its like they don't want anyone to know

he is getting such great applause

[kyrasdad]

63. An Army of young people...

It does my heart good... and just what this country so desperatly needs...

[kyrasdad]

67. The Doctor

is laying down the law...

[Khephra]

70. He's was getting up near Kucinich in energy

I thought it was a great speech! The one thing I like is the stress on his supporters, instead of getting up and saying "He's the leader..." to change it all...but I've always liked that about his campaign.

Interesting pick of songs, that's for sure.

LOL!

[bleedingheart]

68. Dean was on fire.. "You have the power"

It was great!

He is great... I see my IUPAT friends there!

[chimpymustgo]

69. OGM - that "you have the power" bit was scary. Sounds like Pat Robertson

Yikes. Made my skin crawl.

[LibInternationalist]

72. yeah, it was a bit much

I think three repititions would have done it -- of course, the whole auditorium sounded like it was chanting it, so what do we know, huh?

[Khephra]

The sound system screwed them all over tonight

It was really hard to judge the reaction to any of their speeches. To tell you the truth, it all sounded about on the same level on my tv after the original instructions.

Next time they better have a good speaker system.

[chimpymustgo]

80. I'm not sure it was the fault of the sound system.

That whole chanting thing, over and over has a zealous tone that's creepy.

[Renew Deal]

85. My girlfriend thought it was Tony Robbins

It was creepy.

[sandnsea]

88. A televangelist Tony Robbins

freaks me right out and has for months.

[Field Of Dreams]

90. Oh yeah, your right Tony Robbins does use the

"You have the power" line.

[sfecap]

71. Yesssssssss!

We have the power!

Great speech Gov. Dean! We have the power to put you in the White House!

[slinkerwink]

73. that was an EXCELLENT speech!!!

:bounce: :yourock: :bounce: :yourock:

[bleedingheart]

74. Imagine the message we would send to Rove if 2 Million

sent Dean 100 dollars.....it would kick ole Bush's fundraising efforts in the teeth....and if it came from the people of our nation it would be a strong message to corporate america

[Jackhammer Jesus]

75. Great speech from Dean!

[kyrasdad]

76. I love CMB...

but she doesn't have a prayer of a chance of getting the nod. I hope though, that whoever does get it, keeps her in mind for a job in the administration. She's smart, and heartfelt in her beliefs, and I really hope she doesn't dissappear after the primaries...

[bleedingheart]

79. she is doing a great job.. I do hope she gets a position in the

administration.

[FrenchieCat]

77. I heard this speech before....

was ok. I didn't get excited...cause with a Republican Congress, none of what is being talked about is going to happen.

[La_Serpiente]

78. I really like the things

that CMB says. Sometimes, she says some things that are needed.

[FrenchieCat]

81. Liked the 1984 Orwell being fiction

from CMB....now that was a great line.

But as a politico, I've heard all of these speeches....and am yearning to hear something fresh and new....

It's like there is an element missing.....must be this guy!
oh well, got to wait till tomorrow to watch Meet The Press tomorrow a.m. when he gets a full hour.

[bleedingheart]

83. I like her message! I don't look like Bush, I don't act like Bush..etc

I like that...

[realFedUp]

82. Dean rocked the house

That was the best speech I've heard him give ever.
Very full, given strongly. I believe we have the power to
kick all the Bushies out of office forever.

[FrenchieCat]

86. It sounded like the same speech to me (n/t)

[realFedUp]

92. jaloux mon ami?

:-)

[chimpymustgo]

84. Edwards and Kucinich hanging together...

nt

[chimpymustgo]

87. Kerry getting mucho face time. With Edwards. Hillary. Harken.

nt

[FrenchieCat]

89. Kerry looks the most electable

out of all of the ones that were there......


Little spark missing from the dinner IMO....

must be because this guy wasn't there

[drfemoe]

95. well it was a nice thread

until you got here and started running your agenda.

We were wondering where was Clark tonight?

[Field Of Dreams]

93. What was on the menu for the dinner?

Bush's cooked goose?

[FrenchieCat]

94. LOL!
