Happy Birthday to Casper!
I have been assuming that NY will go to Obama no matter what, even though Hillary is our Senator.
She growls?! You made her so she growls?!

I saw an Obama bumper sticker on a car in Provo, Utah--seat of a county where I think Ron Paul would hae won if Mitt Romney hadn't been running. Said car still had all its windows intact. Granted, it was a car from Idaho, which is much more liberal than most people may believe, but still.

Happy Birthday to Casper!
Tommyrot - did you hear Mayor Daley's intro to Illinois? You know - Chicago where the White Sox will play the Cubs in a subway series? Made me laugh!
Missed much of Kerry's speech. (I was going back and forth between tennis and c-span and then I took some time between the roll call and Clinton's speech to watch Greatest American Dog.)
I thought that they should have played Clinton on with some James Brown or possibly some ZZ Top. (I was thinking "Sharp Dressed Man.")
Also, can you believe that they played "Addicted to Love"? Why must convention music suck so much?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
It's odd. I have no doubt at all that Obama will be the next PotUS. And I think the debates will be the clincher.
I'm rarely optimistic. I didn't think Kerry would win at all, so didn't suffer the same sort of shock I saw in a lot of Buffistas. Disappointment, but not shock.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I will literally weep.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Oh, man. When they played "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow" as he came on, I started crying. I remember everything about election day 1992, including the Clintons and Gores celebrating with that song blasting in the background. Ever since Bush won in 2000, I have to change the channel when it comes on the radio.

Yeah, I'm actually optimistic about Obama winning too - not certain, but think the odds are in his favor. But I'm pessimistic about what happens next. He, like Hillary, is a cautious centrist - who won't make the changes we need. And unlike Roosevelt, there is not serious grassroots movement that will push him: Moveone and the rest of the "netroots"? Not strong enough, and not independent enough of the Democratic party to push the changes needed.

Yeah, that's what I'm pining my hopes on.
If only Obama can provoke something like this (in an interview with Time ):
There's a theme that recurs in your books and your speeches, both about putting country first but also about honor. I wonder if you could define honor for us?
Read it in my books.
I've read your books.
No, I'm not going to define it.
But honor in politics?
I defined it in five books. Read my books.
(I've heard McCain tends to get angry easily...)
