Now it's time for all of us to work our collective a$$es off to get him elected.

Next week, somewhere near you, there will be a co-ordinating meeting. Mine is next Wed night. Do you have 2, 3 or 4 hrs a week to make phone calls or register new voters? Order your buttons and your lawn signs.

Let's make this a really historic year!

[pacats]

Nice reminder judyc, I just received 2 phones from volunteers from my county listing the activities and events scheduled next week. There is work to do, lets get started.

[im just smart ok]

[BannedInBoston]

Better rethink that screen name....

[Podewumun]

LOL

[JDJase]

It was an honest mistake give 'em a break

[meltingpot101]

The great state of New Mexico yeilds to Illinois. The great state of Illinois then yeilds to New York. What are they doing I wonder, I have not seen this before.

Split screen I see Hillary surrounded by her states leaders, marching on to the convention floor energized and passionate, like a fighter headed to the ring. This time Senator Hillary Clinton from the great state of New York cast the roll call vote, enough to make Barack Obama the Democratic nominee.

Hillary came to fight alright. She came to fight with Barack Obama. Fight for this country and all the important issues ignored, created and worsened by this administration. Hillary came in Unity to fight for Change, with Grace, with Dignity. And I am in Awe.

That primary race....th­ese candidates­.....this ending. It is poetic justice, it is Catharsis. It is democracy. I am so proud to be a democrat, more importantly to be an American.

Thank You Hillary, Thank You Barack.

I hear the Democrats talk about universal health care a lot this election season, we really need to put aside "feelings" and "fairness" on this debate and take a look at if we can actually afford it. Medicare has already set us on the path of $35+ TRILLION in unfender liabilities and that only covers 45 million people . . . no chance of adding another 280 million people, we will collapse under a mountain of debt.

Take a few minutes and listen to David Walker who was our Comptroller General and ran the GAO.

We'll probably never be able to put a man on the moon, either, Ughbiassed. Jeeez.

[UnbiasView]

Says the guy that didn't watch the video . . .

[qdog112]

"take a look at if we can actually afford it"

I did not look at your links, but we can't afford NOT to insure our people. I think $10 billion a month for a few months would bring a better return than the blackhole we throw it into now.

[okayigive]

Not to get sidetracked, but I don't see you complaining about the monthly cost for the Iraqi invasion.

[UnbiasView]

You must not read my posts then . . .

National debt has been the main concern of mine for a long time which includes entitlement programs, wars, government waste . . .

[realitycheck7]

you want to talk about debt, nearly 2 million people a year declare bankruptcy due to medical bills

what kind of effect do you think that has on the economy?

you don't call that debt?

[gopSTEALSyourTAXmoney]

Make sure your tax dollars don't go for paying McCain's health care plan, pension
and social security checks, or are you ok with paying into that and every Republican
politician who doesn't want you to have what they have?

[im just smart ok]

No I dont think hes a god.I actually I think he knows what hes doing.He knows that its an investment to do well as he did.If they win Hillary gets a good name in the senate and becomes a party "star".If they lose they wont get blamed for it and can run in 2012 where when you win the primary you win because of rising need for change from 8 years of a republican president.

[im just smart ok]

You did great Bill. Bill just sounded very natural and it beat my expectations.

[im just smart ok]

Wow.......­.Bill Clinton did great.....­.It was beating my expectations by a lot.Good job Bill.

[uclafan]

I am so impressed and as an African-American am so proud. Thank you Mr. President!

You are back!

[dajay]

I don't think he ever left.

[im just smart ok]

YES, hes ready!
cmon JFK,Bill Clinton,Eisenhower were all younger than him and had little experience before they got elected.Im not sure if eisenhower was a great president but JFK and Bill were great(well for bill everything except the scandal).I mean dont you guys ever notice when bad things happen theres a republican president?Great depression­--hoover(1­920's)
Bad economy--Herbert W. Bush(1988-1992)
Bad economy--George W. Bush(2000-2008)
Iraq war--George W. Bush(2000-2008)
Now how bout the good things with the Democrats.
Civil rights act--Lyndon johnson(1964--1968)
Good economy(su­rplus)--Bi­ll clinton(1992--2000)

[JDJase]

Um, Eisenhower was 63 when he got elected...­.....

[BannedInBoston]

Right -- nearly a decade younger than McCain would be (but won't....)

[AlwaysFairDem]

I have to say...he was real good. Boy, I had forgotten how natural he is when he wants to be.

If we are united like the last two days, there is nothing we can't accomplish!

Hat are off to you Clinton's for your display of unity the last couple of days. I truly feel the time is now for all to unite as one voice.

[BannedInBoston]

All trolls can go straight to Hell. This is our MOMENT!!!!!

[Darkdonnie]

Are you not the party of diversity and open to all viewpoints? or just your narrow dangerous vision for America.

[MM216]

Are you kidding!?

[BigLib]

What a photo. Look at the bat wings on the one on the right!

[mike53]

Bill Clinton. Still able to fool liberals. Its really weird. I look at the guy and I say "con man".
Liberals see him as a god.

Obama...li­berals see him as God.

Go figure. Thought liberals didn't even believe in God.

[BannedInBoston]

That was then, this is NOW.

[DaOne]

McCain people see him as a God.......­......of War.

[breakingnews]

Don't "think", it's obviously too much for you!

[speakyourmind]

Of all the millions of people in this country, and your candidate is the best you could come up with to represent the conversatives? That's just pathetic. You're a dying breed. Go the way of the rest of the fossils and let the grown ups talk now.

[Darkdonnie]

Wow pithy response! But rather narrow minded and non inclusive of the supposed un-educated by the supposedly educated grown up!

[patricklee5150]

Looks like you are wrong on everything! I am a Liberal and a Christian. Bill Clinton was the best president we have ever had. W. Bush is the most vile, evil, Godless human being to ever hold public office. Why don't you go and comment on Neo Con sites and leave your betters alone?

[Podewumun]

FDR was the best President we have ever had.
Bill was just another ambitious politico. Same for his wife.

[Darkdonnie]

Are you not the party of diversity and open to all viewpoints?
Or just your narrow dangerous vision for America.

[Ramirez]

I think I just heard John Kerry say that (paraphrase) "George Bush stood on the aircraft carrier and he declared, 'Next stop, Bagdad!".

Huh?

[BannedInBoston]

Got reality?

[Ramirez]

Did I hear wrong? I AM on my third glass of wine.

[BigLib]

No station is covering Lurch.

[WFV]

CSPAN. The only way to watch the convention.

[Ramirez]

I'm watching on FOX. They give him all the airtime he wants.

[patricklee5150]

Non-stop coverage on CSPAN without the idiots commenting like on MSM.

[qdog112]

Check that. I think he said McCain made that statement on a carrier prior to the war.

[Ramirez]

Yes. I just saw the transcript. I was only half-listening (it WAS a Kerry speech) and I missed it.

[runnerin1]

You guys I tuned into Faux after Clinton speech, to hear Hannity's voice crack while trying to respond was priceless. We're going to the Whitehouse­!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[BannedInBoston]

Was his voice cracking or was he just cracking wise?

[DaOne]

Sean reaching puberty now.
