2008 Democratic National Convention thread

Ok, I'll be expecting that in the polls over the next month.

I'm not expert on what the polls do, but I would expect the number of Hillary supporters that were polling for McCain to drop sharply. Not sure about him gaining much ground otherwise. But McCain still had like 30 percent of her voters right now. I bet that takes a huge hit within a couple weeks.

Brian Schweitzer was pretty awesome last night -- should've been the keynote.

[WTFchris]

I agree. He started off a little slow but I liked his speech as well.

[Glenn]

They didn't show his speech on MSNBC, they were too busy focusing on Bill Clinton in the crowd.

[WTFchris]

Yeah, I watched CNN for the speech. They never showed Granholm on there, just mentioned she was on the stage.

[Uncle Mxy]

She moderated a panel of talking heads.

Congrats to the country for nominating the first AA for President. I could be wrong, but I don't think England, France, Germany, etc has ever done that. I'm sure someone can correct me, but only in America.

Props to the GREAT USA!

England had a Jewish Prime Minister in the 1800s.

You're not wrong, Tahoe. African-Americans, like Americans in general, aren't typically running for the highest office in foreign countries.

Son of a bitch, beat me by 9 minutes.
