Convention junkies can obsess details here!

[state of hockey]

Dennis Miller chimed in as well

DNC Guest Speaker, Sandra Fluke. RNC Guest Speaker, Clint Eastwood. Yeah...that's about right.

Dennis Miller definitely knows what he is talking about. I mean, who better to ask about someone ranting nonsensically?

But good for you guys. You got a big movie-star to spit out a few words some could understand. I'm am sure most of the electorate can't see right through it. Seriously.

Some context for the bump numbers that will be tricking in over the next couple days:

Re: Convention junkies can obsess details here!

DNC key note speakers. A list with ups and downs. Ups: Clinton assuming he's still on top of his game (in fact, H Clinton would probably have been a good addition). Question mark is E Warren. I don't know enough about her. Downs: I'm not big on Kerry. And along with Warren on the previous night, that's a bit much to throw at Mass IMO.

Tuesday, September 4 - Michelle Obama and Julián Castro

The speakers for the day include:
Independent Governor Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island
Former President Jimmy Carter via video[18]
First Lady Michelle Obama[19]
Julian Castro, mayor of San Antonio.[19]

[edit] Wednesday, September 5 - Elizabeth Warren and Bill Clinton

The speakers for the day include:
Democratic Senate candidate for Massachusetts Elizabeth Warren[20]
Former President Bill Clinton[20]

[edit] Thursday, September 6 - Joe Biden and Barack Obama

The speakers for the day include:
U.S. Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts
Vice President Joe Biden
President Barack Obama

Lyawatha is going to speak at the Dem convention? Maybe she tell us about the benefits gained by lying about ones heritage

Downs: I'm not big on Kerry.

Perhaps the strategy is to remind everyone what horrible candidates Massachusetts ex-governors are...

Not a good track record, is it?

Re: Convention junkies can obsess details here!

It will be real interesting to watch Clinton's speech. Clinton does not like Obama, and Obama does not trust Clinton. Look for a few back-handed compliments...."we never had troubles like these when I was President, and if we're lucky Obama will listen to me next term and maybe then we can make some progress...." he won't quite phrase it that way, yet I'll bet he finds a subtle way to imply it.

I read somewhere that the Obama people were calling Clinton with "suggestions" and he was none to happy about it.

Oh, man, if Chris Matthews heard you say that, he'd freak out, thinking you were talking in code and secretly referring to "someone else".....

It's funny how some of those commenters talk about "dog whistles," did they forget that only dogs can hear them?

Humor on the right never seems to be funny.

Re: Convention junkies can obsess details here!

Looks like Clint Eastwood's needling of Obama last night got under his skin:

Looks that way:

“I am a huge Clint Eastwood fan,”

“He is a great actor, and an even better director,”

“I think the last few movies that he’s made have been terrific.”

[Gurtholfin]

Re: Convention junkies can obsess details here!

They have no sense of humor whatsoever. Remember when they tried the Daily Show knockoff on FOX? Horrible, just like the faux Dem convention schedule that was posted here.


Weird thing is that when liberals make fun of Dems (like Stewart or Colbert or SNL) it's funny, but when Repubs do, it just seems pathetic.

I mean, Dems are funny. Plenty of material there to make fun of.
