James Carville says Dems are wasting the first night.
The first few hours were kinda boring; I thought Teddy was awesome, but maybe they should have saved him for last. He kicked ass.

I'm watching CNN and looks like they're going for a negative spin already.

I guess no surprise there.

50. Tweety has been great the last week or two....and tonight
he called the PUMAs Wackos and took on Pat. I find his enthusiasm charming.

10. Why the heck to we have to have Carville be our 'spokesman' ?

Hopefully after this election we'll get some new blood.

49. He was chosen for us by the corporate media who loved the Dem talkers schooled in defending Clintons
and with limited knowledge of the achievements of any other Democrat. THAT is what we've been stiuck with for too many years. Pisspoor spokespeople - handpicked for their value to the fascist media.

16. You're probably correct
Otherwise he should have been last but they couldn't take a chance.

Other than the Caroline and Teddy segments, it has been less than I expected. You need to establish a theme and I can't place one.

He really showed what he is made of.

The Republicans will never ever have anyone who can beat that, or even come close.

61. You're right, the right wing media is censoring the negative
McCaskill and Leach both went negative, but not on TV.

Just more interviews with more people who don't matter.

11. How would they know? They weren't there.
If Ted Kennedy is boring.
if talking about Katrina is boring.
if The next First Lady, who hasn't even spoken yet, is boring....

Then CNN is for you.....

Cause they barely showed any of it.
Just navel gazing from the fucked up but well paid pundits,
I can imagine.....people who's salary I dont contribute to,
cause I don't watch the propaganda.

Now, I will hide this thread,
cause I don't give a fuck what Carville thinks!

27. Carville feels he was a "waste" obviously.
But then when your wife is a piece of shit,
I guess it is easy to not think highly of Ted Kennedy.

42. I had to turn off CNN
I was listening to them babble about this when I looked behind them to see speeches going on. I didn't realize CNN was wasting time arguing about this while things were actually going on. I don't know why they think their opinions are more interesting than covering what's going on at the convention. But all the news channels were doing the same so I had to turn of PBS to see coverage of the actual convention

I disagree with the commentators who think tonight should have been more McCain bashing. That gives McCain too much credit. Leave him to Hillary and Bill. Let Obama mainly give his positive message.
