The Road to November

BTW, Hillary hit it out of the park tonight.
Great speech.

I thought it was good not great, but she did her job to unify the party and support Obama.

Sweet Orange pant-suit.

Agreed.

Can you smell what Barack is cooking?

Great speech from Biden.  I don't really dig the call and response type stuff that the crowd really wants to get into but Biden really drove the points about McCain home.

Still hoping Barack takes some time tomorrow night to lay out specifics, especially his economic plans.

I have always liked Biden.  I am in the camp of if you have something to say, say it.  Truth at all time as truth breeds awareness.

[sls.stormyrider]

agreed, although that philosophy has gotten me into trouble more than once.

All the speeches were very good. I like Biden. Hopefully we'll have a change.

I enjoyed last night's speeches as well.

On a side note, I had a discussion, yesterday, with an attorney who is well versed in areas of energy policy.
He has personally met with both McCain & Obama's energy policy advisors and had some interesting insights.
The nutshell is this:
Obama has a comprehensive plan with many points across the spectrum as is needed at this time of transition.
McCain plans to drill for oil and to think about coming up with other plans.

i was really impressed with Biden's speech last night.  never heard him before, and i think he really delivered a powerful case for Obama. 

Pres. Clinton, as always, pwnd.

i'm very excited for tonight, though McCain's VP pick will probably conveniently leak out just in time for the post-speech discussions.

isn't your next 20 minutes worth watching one of the greatest orators in history make a case for the most important election in our lifetime?

It was worth it last night...

i sadly missed the first 10 minutes of it so was glad to catch it today (Yanks made it interesting against the Sox for a few innings, which grabbed my attention).

Yonder is playing the DNC tonight along with Will I Am, Sheryl Crow, Jennifer Hudson and Stevie Wonder.

The specifics to his tax plan can be found here:

I think his tax plan is well thought out.  While the rich will lose some money to higher taxes under Obama, they actually lose more money under McCain.  I find that to be ironic.
