Chris Matthews just said that Bush "just picked up 7 points" in the polls.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was he referring to some sort of "real time" right-after-the-speech polling results, do you mean... or: was he just saying (essentially) that GWB could or should pick up seven...?

INCREDIBLE news, if the former! :)

[OXENinFLA]

Yes.......shall we start a new thread, or stay on this one???

Yes, KERRY is going to be on LKL?......If so start a thread and slap it in Breaking, Kerry will implode, others can't miss this!!!

[RummyChick]

SHeesh, what's up with Matthews. he interviewed pataki and didn't interrupt in his usual style and now he is bashing Kerry???? I wonder if some higher up has said something to him about his behavior.

I'm glad they moved the protester out quickly and the delegates shouted them down. The security was not quite up to par, though.

Thanks for posting the photo so I could see what caused the uproar.

Chip Reed was trying to stir up disappointment with a pro life activist...It bombed..LOL!

[Happy2BMe]

I listen to every major (and most minor) speeches President Bush gives.

I respect him for who he is as our President much more than his ability to deliver a speech.

Zell Miller gets my vote for a 5-Star Democrat-Busting speech.

Mark R. Levin, over at NRO's The Corner:

"I'll bet Kerry's midnight press conference is funnier than Leno."

[Will_Zurmacht]

ya gotta be kiddin me!
I was watching the PBS coverage and LibDem kneepadder Mark Shields started off on the exact same wording!

No mention of North Korea, Iran.....

If these guys are gonna just read the Dem talking points, couldn't they at least spice them up!

As an aside, thanks to the NEW MEDIA..hehe...we are witnessing the dems media wing first hand....hard to fool people when we are on to you....

Chrissy's real life brother is a delegate and he's interviewing him right now.

Good thing all those protesters are holding up their "Mission NOT Accomplished" because they surely failed!

[Tuxedo]

I think Chris is afraid Zell is going to come kick his ass.

[Max7]

Wow, I didn't realize Kerry's hair was that long.

[Mo1]

Yep .. Kerry needs his own thread

[zook]

He said, "he just picked up 7 points." I took it as him having some poll info.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Kerry/Edwards so desparate that they are already onstage. Losing votes by the second...

[RetroSexual]

Thanks for the advice. I've been sitting on this contract for months now, plan to hold until completion.
