Hillary is up!

[gateley]

I'm enjoying hearing all of them essentially give their stump speeches tonight -

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

1. She's pretty good when she doesn't YELL. This is okay

[jillan]

2. Wow - she really hit Obama hard!

ouch!

[sandnsea]

6. Are you buying this phony garbage?

Oh puhleeze. This sappy syrupy voice? Ugh.

[emilyg]

51. why are u so full of hate?

[DURHAM D]

53. I have been wondering the same for awhile now. n/t

[itsrobert]

7. Yup, going on the attack. Iowans don't like that. n/t

n/t

[jenmito]

14. Um, didn't I just say the same exact thing about Edwards and you questioned me about it?

:rofl: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=3705947&mesg_id=3705998

[sandnsea]

3. I will just bite my tongue

I wanted to say something nice, really I did.

[DURHAM D]

4. Funny how she looks like Harkin...

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

15. nah, Bob Newhart

[jefferson_dem]

5. Has she slowed down her vocal cadence?

Serious question. Her delivery is much more deliberate than I remember.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

8. Trying be conversational and not yell so much. Post-debate re-tooling

[sandnsea]

11. Oh god I can't stand it

Would the woman just be herself for chrissake.

[sandnsea]

9. Yes, she's trying some new syrupy tone

I don't know why, don't care, I'm just so sick of her phony schtick.

[maddiejoan]

50. syrupy tone??

the woman has a head cold. sheeeesh.

[jenmito]

10. Yes, and she tries to speak in a more calm tone...

like a hushed tone.

[cuke]

12. Yes, she's speaking slower than usual

but I wouldn't expect her to be rushing through a story about someone dying from a lack of health care (note: I just turned it on) ooops. She just picked it up a notch

Now it's she more conversational. More like she usually is, but still a little paced

[ElizabethDC]

23. Well, she's been ill this past week and has lost her voice a few times

so perhaps she's trying to slow it down to prevent becoming hoarse. Or it could be that she's tired of hearing how "shrill" her voice is.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

43. Good point! I forgot about that

[jillan]

Another sexist comment.

I really do try to like her.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

16. A play on her "not baking cookies" semi-gaffe from '92

[MethuenProgressive]

33. delete, wrong spot.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

38. When Obama kissed her cheek she was like stone. No love lost, I guess

[calteacherguy]

54. She knows he's going to be the one to take away her dream. nt

[cuke]

13. "I'm not interested in attacking my opponents

and I believe we should turn up the heat on the Republicans"

[jenmito]

20. After she just finished attacking Obama.

:eyes:

[cuke]

25. Well, she did say she wants to turn up the heat on repukes

[MethuenProgressive]

22. and I believe we should turn up the heat on the Republicans"

I hope Obamdwards is listening.

[MichDem10]

17. Zzzzzzzzzz...

UNINSPIRING - Crowd not responding well. Annoying whisle in the background.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

18. LOL... she's the first one to have to pause because of crowd response

[jenmito]

24. No doubt it was rehearsed/planned in advance.

[rodeodance]

28. do i hear sour grapes?

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

30. Very much planned. But if they'll chant for you, they'll vote for you

[jenmito]

52. If they don't live in Iowa they can't.

[BeyondGeography]

19. Don't pick on me, pick on the Republicans

Riiiiiiiiight.

[rodeodance]

31. other candidates basically said the same thing-HIT the Repugs NOT the Dems

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

21. Me, too, gateley. All of them.

MKJ

[rodeodance]

26. She has the crowd shouting-she is engaging with them

[fenriswolf]

27. *sigh wish kucinich was their

[juajen]

47. Was "their" what?

Did you mean "there". Again, "their" = possessive; "there" = over there; "they're = they are.

Sorry, I haven't had my "spelling police hat on for a while, and I was afraid it might rust from lack of use.

[fenriswolf]

56. hehe thanks for the slap on the wrist

[cuke]

29. Now she's getting a standing ovation!!!!

The audience is stoked

[rodeodance]

37. they LIKED HER

[rodeodance]

40. my gawd-they are shouting HIL as Nancy is trying to calm them down

[jillan]

32. Stop YELLING!

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

34. Gay rights and science... good. (Obama will show her up, oration-wise, but this is pretty good)

[cuke]

35. I will stand and fight for you

Let's do it Iowa Dems!!!

[cuke]

36. Another standing O

[cuke]

41. Now they're chanting her name

Nancy is trying to quiet them down.

She mentioned Obama's name and that's getting a good round of applause

[rodeodance]

44. yeah-Nancy tried to quiet them but the crowd kept chanting HIL's name

[MethuenProgressive]

39. Mrs MP, who notices these kinds of things, says everyone hugged and kissed Hillary, except...

Mrs MP, who notices these kinds of things, says everyone hugged and kissed Hillary, except
John Edwards when she came on stage at the start of the evening. Everyone else, from Mrs Obama to Mrs Edwards did the hug/kiss thing to Sen. Clinton, but John Edwards just made a face and just stiffly stuck his out hand out to be shook.
Guess he just found out he's not on her VP list anymore.

[rodeodance]

42. well, Hil really pleased the crowd tonight

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

45. yes, I must confess to moments of enjoyment myself.

But, hey, feelings who needs 'em!

:-) MKJ

[rodeodance]

46. i want people to be excited about our candidate whoever it is.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

48. We will be. They will learn by fire while the R's coast on FAUX and Rush until it's too late.

:-) MKJ

[BenDavid]

49. HRC spoke: Conclusion. wins nomination and Presidency

Obama began sermonizing and sounded more like a Sunday School teacher and Obama may not realize it but he does talk down to a lot of folks and that people can understand.....

[rodeodance]

55. ah gee. this needs one more REC
