...I don't think we would have any problem prominently featuring Al Gore or John Kerry, Joe Leiberman and John Edwards not so much for obvious reasons.

Speaking of Lieberman. Wasn't he a big star at one of the Republican Conventions when he was still a Democrat? It seems he's not there this time. His new RW friends seem to have thrown him out with the trash too.

....at least their speeches are relatively short.

Seems like last night's speakers averaged about 20 minutes each, expect maybe for the oversized attack dog's speech at the end of the evening. Hoping that the speeches this evening are about the same length. Less time for lying, which would be easier on the ear.

One can hope, right?

Can't wait for the DNC convention next week.

All of them are going to say the same thing, walking in lockstep and all.
