Thanks. I've been having a terrible time. Not only am I triple posting, I have to wait for ever for the page to load each time I make a comment.

It's tedious, but I love the JJP fam and conversations so much, I keep fighting.

I feel for Caroline. She's lost her dad, her mom and her brother. Ted stepped in and was there for her each time. Now he's seriously ill.

Of course he's human. He's likable. He has a beautiful, accomplished loving wife and family.

Conventional wisdom seems to be that the Obama's need to convince us that that they are 'normal Americans.' I don't think that's necessary.

Americans need to be made to feel confident that he has the experience and judgment to lead. Is he ready? That's it. Period.

Bashing McCain. Choosing Biden. Michelle as a keynote speaker. None of these strategies imbue Obama with experience and judgment and will do nothing to allay those concerns.

I really don't know what will...other than time.

I was both expecting and hoping (hell, almost begging) for him to make a very overt All-Star rap call to stop the "SELF-DESTRUCTION!"

Well, I think the McCain's are aliens. I dare you to tell me that Cindy doesn't look like that alien in "Mars Attacks" that was disguised as a woman. I couldn't figure out why everytime I saw them, I kept thinking of that same movie when the aliens blew up Congress...now I know why.

Art imitating life.

I am on such a high tonight.....Michelle did that...she laid it down...she was a QUEEN.....and I just don't think Malia and Sasha can be more precious. Lord I just pray for this family and feel so incredibly hopeful right now.

Over on Kos, they're saying that Caroline Kennedy laid the smackdown on Wolf Blitzer earlier tonight. When he asked her why they didn't vet Hillary, she allegedly said "Oh, you know a lot about the process, don't you?"

When he said "Well why don't you walk us through it?" she replied, "I'm not walking you through anything. That's a confidential process."

LOL

I was wondering if it was my connection... the live feed comes through choppy and the sound is garbled.

I know you are having some kind of problem with posting but I am digging the tripplw posts here and elsewhere, they seem to drive home your message even more.

I think the convention was great.
I liked Caroline Kennedy, Ted Kennedy, Jim Leach, Craig Robinson, Michelle Obama, Malia and Sasha Obama, and, of course Barack Obama.

I think tonight's part of the convention was meant to humanize Barack Obama.
I think they succeeded.

I don't know if this is what they're referring to:

Rachel talks about the Hillary delegate that appears in the McCain ad. This supporter doesn't know McCain is for overturning Roe v. Wade, and "Post Rational" Hillary supporters:

Rachel talks about McCain using the POW card..very short clip:

I NEED TO GO TO BED! I just can't. I don't wanna miss any of Rachel's smackdowns.

Rachel just called Buchannan out on the Rethug's intolerance of gays, and just people who are not like them in general! She mentioned the cultural wars of 1992. She was hot.

Then Chris told him there was no Christian Democratic party, or litmus test in response to Buchannan saying the Michelle did not discuss "Chrisitianity".

Best believe the MSNBC execs will be having a talk with them to calm them all down.
