Live by the speech, die by the speech...

I'll admit it - I was stunned. If he loses, I can see Obama's
acceptance speech as being the source of his loss. And if so, it will
be a shame, because I do think he is better than his speech can (and
probably will) be made to make him look. He didn't even come right out
and invoke King - at the DNC, for God sake. Even the song "Only In
America" was a terrible choice for such a setting. It will be sad and
ironic if he was book-ended by speeches at the DNC, and I think such is
possible, if not likely.

Stunned,

Oh my.

The only thing stunning is how you totally slept through the speech of a
lifetime.

That's really too bad for you - but I'm certain you'll be able to see it on
the web - including at least a few minutes citing MLK.

Dumbass.

It must suck to be you.

If you can't find it in your mean, small, cynical,
it's all about me, me, me, mindset to appreciate
the mind-boggling historic import of the nomination
of the first black man to lead the ticket of a major
party then you're too far gone.

I was born in 1956 and I never in a thousand years
thought that I would see this day.

That was a great speech and only a blind fool partisan
cynic could believe otherwise.

Most of the rest of the world thinks he will be the next president,
and they have done for a while. Only the democrats themselves seem
nervous. Although for many people outside America, ( including me)
American politics is extremely difficult to gauge, much less
understand.

It is a historic moment that a black man should be nominated by a
major party for the presidency of the United States of America, but
whether that alone suffices, or indeed is sufficient grounds to
actually elect him is another matter. In the final analysis, his
colour or creed are irrelevant, it is his suitability or otherwise for
the job which is actually more important.

Quite a few people here get the impression that he actually has no
firm policies, just hopes and promises. You can´t live ONLY on hopes
and promises. Also, as other idealists have discovered to their cost,
it is one thing to have ideals, it is quite another to actually
implement them.

Wow. How did you do that? You summarized in almost the same words what
I just heard on FOX. Amazing. Or did you take it from the script you
had before the speech? In any case the synchronization would almost
lead one to think Karl Rowe was back in the saddle with you guys. Bet
the Fax is hot tonight. Do they still call em "talking points"?

Note to self: See they really do that dog-like "loyalty brings access"
thingy real swell.

was that 'stunned' or 'stoned', RD? No less than Bill Kristol heard that
speech, shook his head and said," McCain has his work cut out for him. What
speech were you listening to?

The democrats have suddenly developed a keen sense of morality.
John Edwards has been banned from making a speech at the
democratic convention for having an affair and lying about it.

In his place Bill Clinton spoke.

And Jimmy Carter spoke on economic growth.

They even had TED KENNEDY there???

Ted Kennedy addressed issues of violence against women
The dems are embarassing!!!

I guess I was watching a different speech. I'm just amazed that he could
hit the home run I was watching on the same night he offered the clunker
you were watching.

Moments after the speech ended, the GOP released that they were considering
delaying their convention because of a hurricane. Yeah, that's the ticket.
