Democratic Convention 2008

[S-wo]

Well I know I'm a bit late on this, but I wanted to have this discussion about this historical event. It aired on both CNN and TVone last week at around 8 if you live in the east coast. I thought that it was great; a few of those people that spoke sounded like they were speaking from memory or reading a screen, but Caroline Kennedy, Edward Kennedy, and Michelle Obama did great! I was surprised to see Edward there because of his late illness with his brain tumor, but to be sick he spoke brilliantly and passionly well. They really brought the issues that concerns with us now in this country: about the oil prices, the war, and health care issues. I was surprised to see that republican there and I knew he was going to be boring before he even spoke, I mean come on his name is Jim Leach, that sounds like a boring republican's name.I don't think I took a word in what we said.
I only caught a glimpse of Hilary's speech, but Michelle's speech was the best. It was also so adorable when Obama appeared on the screen and his daughters were talking to him. It was great how Michelle related herself to all Americans as a whole with her talk about her past and how she grew up. That discerned the remarks from others that said she grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth. liked Hillary's speech too, but all around it was kindof boring that day. There were a lot of great speeches last night. Bill Clinton spoke well so did Kerry, and Joe Biden. That asian woman who was in the air force spoke passionelty as well. I was kind of unsure at first, but now I believe that obama picked the right candidate for his VP. He surprise appearance last night was also good. Obama's speech on the final night was terrific and he brought the house down on Bush and McCain.
I also caught the after party program that aired after it, but didn't bother to watch the entire thing. So what's everyone else's opinion on it?

Well let's break my opinion up a bit;

Hill Dog did amazing, she gave a very rousing speech and showed she had Obama's back, I loved that speech and I think she got some of her supporters back on Obama's side after that. I found it amusing how she skipped over the one issue people thought she was gonna discuss and that was of course Mccain's campaigne adds quoting her as saying he was too inexperienced.

Obama's speech was a knock out, I mean everything he said was perfect. I knew he was gonna give a good speech I wasn't expecting a great speech, yet that's what he gave. I mean I'm not sure how exactly Mccain is supposed to even shake a speech like that off. I liked how he didn't condem Mccain as a man who hated us, but rather a man who didn't know anything. Then the part about how he agreed with bush 90% of the time. It was all very rousing, plus I've never really heard him talk about the issues til that speech he knew exactly what to say and how to say it...that speech was beautiful!
