Yes. Kerry's Algonquin Braintrust Roundtable of Fools decided to have a midnight speech/rally in Ohio tonight (30 minutes from now).


Kondracke just called the released text 'incredibly petty.'

Trying to get it confirmed. Almost postive he used the word "Islam" in context with terrorism.

Nope. The text of his speech is posted. He wouldn't be so stupid as to put Islam in context with terrorism.

There is an Angel in the Whirlwind that guides this country

I hit your post just as the prayer started. Stopped there with this on the screen.

I am so teary-eyed about his invoking blessings on our brave youngsters in the military - again at just the right time.


God, thank you for your Providence upon this convention...

Hard to know which channel to settle on. Andrea and Chris would rather talk balloons than give Bush the praise he deserves. Peter Jennings was very laudatory, but I only stayed there long enough to hear George Will say, the first part of the speech wasn't as good as the second part.

OH I agree with Mort! Kerry is still going to be a day late and a dollar short....giving his foot stomping "you called me unpatriotic" speech tonight after this magnificent speech. He will look foolish!

Ralph Reed on CNN, repeating Bush's best lines, makes clear contrasts between Bush and Kerry. Jeff Greenberg says big cutbacks in auto industry gonna hurt Bush, whatcha gonna do about that Ralph? Ralph says, we focus on what we can control, we got the best candidate, and the best grass roots organization ever. Take that Jeffy!

Now Wolf Blitzer showing very well behaved protestors outside the Garden..then he shows audience at Springfield OH, the people waiting for Kerry and Edwards to speak.

Y'all, I was a nervous wreck through out this speech, becasue of the protestors, I"m glad it's over, but it has to be that this convention and this speech, will give us a great bump.

I deserve a break wiwth Lee Ann Womack!

Here two buildings fell. Here a nation rose."

Wouldn't be surprised if Peggy Noonan wrote that.

Good call. That was a Reagan character line if I've ever heard one. It had that feel of "slipped the bonds of earth to touch the face of God"..it was a stunning line.

LOL, I missed your comment first time through I was trying so hard to keep up. I was wishing just a little that I got to grab the protester. I've never thrown a dirty punch in my life, but ....

Finally got in touch with the daughter. Verified that was her that I saw over Pataki's right shoulder earlier in the white skirt, dark blouse and white Nikes. Had a blast listening to Dubya's speech. She did the "Flip, Flop" and the "Four More Years" multiple times.

Verified that she's only been sleeping 3 hours per night but holding up well. Arriving home tomorrow at 7:30 pm. I'll tuck her in tomorrow evening and wake her up Sunday morning.

She was on her way out to party like a rock star (as much as a 15 year old can) at a reception for the Michigan ? delegates, with a boy (shudder). I'd be worried if she wasn't a good kid. Choleraprincess is signing off from the RNC convention floor, for this election.

Well, perhaps you can run for office someday since you are obviously superior to most of the republicans here or in DC. Let us know when you get on the ballot. If I qualify under your rules, perhaps you would allow me to campaign for you.

After a day of listening to my liberal classmates talk about how mean conservatives are, I'm ready for victory.

Ask your friend what it's always the liberals that get arrested at protests??

Oh and point out how republicans had more respect for Kerry and didn't disrupt his Convention speech
