DNC - Night Three!!!

WOW!! Two great, inspirational speeches tonight at the DNC. I've never been so interested in politics as I am now. Who would of thought??!! HA HA HA... How is McCain and the GOP Convention going to combat this juggernaut of change??!!



I was flipping back and forth tonight from the DNC in Denver, to the Sci-Fi channel cause I LOVE ME some Ghost Hunters(T.A.P.S.)!! The two speeches I wanted to see tonight was Bill Clinton and Joe Biden. Clinton had an awesome speech, and he reminded me what it was like when things were good before Bush took over. To me, he's one of the best Presidents since JFK.




Then there was Biden. I didn't know much about Mr. Biden, other than what the press has been saying about him over the past week or so. That he suffered a great lost with his family, before being sworn in as a Senator in the 70's, and that he's well respected in US politics, as well as internationally. He also had a great speech, seems to be very down to earth, and a fighter for the average joe, just like Barack is.


I know you're all probably sick of me talking about this topic, especially if you're a Republican, but I honestly can't help it. Bare with me, there's only one more night left, and by the way, for some reason I'm not interested at all in watching the GOP convention. I believe it may have been the past 8 years of Bush that's turned me off...LMAO I'm extremely looking forward to Obama's speech tonight at Invesco Field, I hope you tune in also....

The Democratic National Convention...

So Monday, I was home watching TV before heading of to work for my lovely "Tuesday" midnight shift, there was nothing on t.v. that I found interesting, but found myself watching, and actually extremely interested in the first night of the DNC. I know, a little confusing with the Monday-Tuesday thing, but to explain my shift starts at 0030 a.m., so it's technically my Tuesday shift. If you couldn't tell by one of my previous post, I'm an Obama fan. Again, not that I'm a big democrat, but consider myself more an "independent" voter. Granted, Barack was off on the campaign trail still, but I saw that Michelle Obama was to be the keynote speaker of the night, and I wanted to see how she did with all this "so-called pressure" to make a great speech. So I settled in, flipping back and forth from C-SPAN, to CNBC, to CNN for the night. The rumor early in the night was that good ole' Edward "Teddy" Kennedy was supposed to make at least an appearance, but it was said that he would be too weak to make a speech from his recent bout of brain cancer. Now even though I'm not into Massachusetts politics, my favorite radio station is WAAF in Boston, who always seem to come up with funny skits, and jokes about Chappequiddick and his drinking(Heck, he is Irish!!), but you can't help but recognize and respect the Kennedy name in New England. LOL

Anyways, after a few hours of unrecognizable people from the Midwest making speeches, mainly people from the Illinios state government, finally, surprise-surprise!! Caroline Kennedy on stage to introduce a montage dedicated to the long-time service of the popular senator from Massachusetts. The video was actually rather emotional to me, covering his family, his love for sailing and the Cape, remembering his two brothers, JFK and Bobby Kennedy and their assassinations, along with footage from his 40 plus years in government. After the video montage, here comes a more frail, swollen version of the husky senator we've all come to know. He gave an arousing speech, much like the one's I've witness in person(Worcester 6 memorial service), and on t.v. when he first endorsed Barack Obama. So here is what I was able to find on youtube.
