LiveBlog: Democratic National Convention – Night Three
11:05 – That's the night for us. Here's some video of the liberal blogosphere reacting to Obama's surprise appearance to get you all hot and bothered for tomorrow night.
11:00 – Well, that was a kind of well-put-together forty minutes. They must have gotten some help from that former Republican guy. – DDC
10:57 - Aaaaww… It's almost like the Obamas and the Clintons like each other. – DDC
10:54 – Holy shit, it's Barack Obama. What's he doing here at the DNC? – DDC
10:53 - Thunderous applause here in The Tent. Well, it's clear that the liberals liked his speech. – DDC
10:49 – From the Comments: Passerby25 – " 'Freudian Slip?' Kinda odd that it happened twice tonight… and that you seemed so ready to respond to it." – MK
10:40 – Is "George… I mean, John McCain '08" a new bumper sticker? – DDC
10:39 – Another Freudian slip? Real or not? What do you think? – DDC
10:36 – Excuse me, but I think I have something in my eye. – DDC
10:32 – Biden kinda freaks me out. He almost seems like a person. I don't know how I feel about a person being my vice-president. – DDC
10:31 – Here we go… – DDC
10:29 – Oh, good. No fourth introduction. – DDC
10:28 - "My father, my brother and I married that girl Jill." That's kinky. – DDC
10:25 – When they introduced Beau Biden, I thought they'd mispronounced Joe Biden's name. – DDC
10:24 – Three introductions??? – DDC
10:23 - Can anybody not like Joe Biden? I mean, maybe you don't want him to be vice-president, but can you really not like him? – DDC
10:21 - That's weird. He was just made the VP nominee. How did the get a montage made already? – DDC
10:19 – Did that woman just introduce Joe Biden? What's Nancy Pelosi doing on the stage? Does Joe Biden need two introduction. – DDC
10:08 – That sequence by Steven Spielberg was moving. I can't believe that was by the same guy who produced Back to the Future Part II. – MK
9:57 – Rep. Chet Edwards from Texas is now speaking. This is ironic, because it appears that Barack Obama is not actually going to be on the ballot in Texas. – MK
9:53 – Rear Admiral John Hutson. Uh oh. Not just another soldier, but an anti-Lieberman (meaning former Republican). "The Grand Old Party is no longer grand. It's just old." That's kinda okay. – DDC
9:50 – Jesus. McCain really fucked up giving the Dems an opportunity to use Veterans' rights against him. – DDC
9:48 - General Claudia Kennedy. Can you imagine how tough as nails you have to be to be a woman and a Democrat and still become a three-star general? This person could probably kill me with her eyeballs. – DDC
9:46 – Not a bad job at all, Kerry. Now, please don't say anything else for the rest of the week. – DDC
9:43 - Which is not to say that this is a bad speech. It's not; it's actually pretty good. But, I remember talking on the phone with a good friend of mine while Kerry spoke at the Convention four years ago. And we were both kinda surprised by his speech, saying, "Oh, he's actually kind of presidential. I can kind of imagine him being president." But I don't think either of us was genuinely convinced. – DDC
9:41 - Wow, I can't believe this guy was the Democratic Party's choice for president four years ago. The differences could not be more stark. I wonder if that will help or hurt Obama's choices. – DDC
9:38 - Candidate McCain vs. Senator McCain. "Talk about being for it before you're against it." That's nice. He actually didn't fuck up a joke. – DDC
9:36 – What is "Global AIDS"? That sounds scary. – DDC
9:34 – "Bush, I mean McCain…" OMG, did John Kerry just FAKE a Freudian slip? – MK
9:33 - John Kerry, reporting for duty. Again. – MK
9:30 – Does it make me unpatriotic to say that I think this woman Beth Robinson is kinda hot? – DDC
9:27 – It just got really loud in this Tent. – DDC
9:24 - Oh, wow. President Clinton just compared Barack Obama to President Clinton. – DDC
9:23 – Like me. – DDC
9:22 – Well, I mean, if you're a commie. – DDC
9:21 – This just got really good. – DDC
9:20 - No, wait. I'm thinking of Full House. – DDC
9:19 – "Katrina and Cronyism." I used to love that show. – DDC
9:17 – "…more impressed bu by the power of our power example, than the example of our power." That's good because it's clever. And it's clever because it's good. – DDC
9:15 - Yay, HIV/AIDS! – DDC
9:11 – Wow, he almost seems sincere. (Actually, I do think he really approves of Biden. Also, I'm not sure he wanted Hillary slumming in a VP position.) – DDC
9:08 – Bill Clinton just said that in no uncertain terms he is going to do everything he can to elect Barack Obama. And he wants all Hillary supporters to vote for him. Him, obviously, being Obama. – DDC
9:06 – Global warming jokes always kill. – DDC
9:05 - Oh, so he is going to support Obama. – DDC
9:04 - Let the guy talk! The audience won't let him speak. "Please stop. Please sit, please sit." – DDC
9:02 - Oh! Bill Clinton. Well, that makes sense. – DDC
9:01 - Rep. Kendrick Meek is getting ready to introduce somebody named Bill Klinton. Whoever this guy is, he's gonna have to be good to follow Tom Daschle. – DDC
8:59 – "Chain of Fools"??? Is that really the best choice of music to be played in the middle of a chain of Democratic speakers? – DDC
8:57 – Daschle was wearing a blue and green flag. An odd choice for a political rally. Unless he's secretly the Democratic representative from Sierra Leone. – MK
8:51 – Ok, Tom Daschle just makes me sad. He's, what, the third unemployed guy they've had on the stage this week? – MK
8:49 - Jack Reed gave a decent speech. I think the Democrats might pick up Rhode Island this year. – MK
8:46 – Oh, wait, no. It's Jack Reed. – DDC
8:44 – My mistake. That's Evan Bayh. Was this guy really almost the vice-presidential nominee? – DDC
8:43 – So, here we are. And, for some reason, A. Whitney Brown is up onstage talking about something really boring. – DDC







Geez, Clinton's speech was shorter than a pygmy with his legs chopped off. Olbermann of course considered it Shakespearean while Brokaw thought it somewhat different.
ummm, at (9:17), he said "… more impressed by the power of our example, then by the example of our power" which makes more sense then what you posted.
Sorry for pointing this out, I just guess you misheard it since I assume your in a big tent full of Liberal Bloggers.
Bloggy is hitting the bottle again. Some one needs to chop up a line of blow for it.
Does anyone else think it was just cruel to through John Kerry the human two by four onto the same podium that's still warm from Bill Clinton's charisma sweat? Is this punishment for losing last time around?
Does anyone else think that it was kinda cruel to put Kerry the human 2×4 on the podium that's still warm from Bill Clinton's charisma sweat? Was this his punishment for losing last time?
I'm getting bored with you John Kerry. When does Michael Phelps swim?
MSNBC's coverage outside needs the tent. What a circus. Mike Murphy, Republican strategist, taunts the crowd stating the Clintons will quietly vote for McCain. Matthews placed on suicide watch.
Obama just rolled up.
haha, you fixed the typo that I pointed out previously, excellent
*Stops playing soul caliber to watch Joe Biden*
ahh, I love Wednesday Nights, theres so much to do.
'Freudian Slip?' Kinda odd that it happened twice tonight… and that you seemed so ready to respond to it.
