concerning Hillary. I felt some of their concerned concerns regarding Hillary would have been alleviated, I am sure they will be back tomorrow with more concerns.

The speeches were wonderful but today has been emotionally draining.

Plus I had to assemble two office chairs today so I'm worn out.

I kept yelling and laughing and crying and clapping - he couldn't sleep inside.

The real bitch is that the new chair is too big for me. It should fit my husband so we'll probably keep it. But the old chair that I had disassembled, then reassembled will have to be taken apart again. Then we have to try again to get the old lifter out - which we spent a week trying to do and failed.

If I can get a new lifter put in place, I will recover the old chair. Otherwise I have to search again for a chair that will fit me. I like the old chair but the lifter no longer lifts and the upholstery is messed up.

Phew, glad that was taken care of. I was starting to get concerned for their concern, cause I know how stressful that can be for all concerned.

BTW. Awesome 2 nights! We knocked it out of the park!

I don't want to take away from the others but I'm still blown away by MO last night.

Without being an insider I imagine MO took serious and personal issue with Clinton at one point. I would have. Yet it's clear she has great respect for her. Truly genuine.

I don't know. Guess I'm just a bit proud tonight. The Obamas exemplify what governance and human compassion should be. I had some thoughts back to the Bush years tonight. Such an embarrassment. I hate to say this about any politician but I feel lucky Obama came along when he did and took the chance. He was an outsider and captured that which was good in all of us. I love having President Obama and First Lady Obama in the people's house.

I think I'm a bit emotional this evening.

I watched Day 1 of the convention and it was fantastic.

I worked tonight (Day 2), and it was probably best that I did not watch.

I congratulate Hillary Clinton on her historic nomination, and I hope she wins the presidency.

But I am not a fan of the Clintons, especially not a fan of Bill Clinton, so it was better off that I did not see his speech.

I tried to stay off DU and let those who wanted to celebrate, celebrate.

Thanks for this thread. Have a good one.

Then as it goes along more of the public show up here when their interest is peaked in the election come September or so.

Hey, people have lives.

Ah well. I started a 'DNC Day 2' thread, it got one other post and sank like a stone. Perhaps partly 'cause I had other stuff to do and only watched Bill's speech.

I was concentrating on the stage, lovemydog. It really was amazing. I will have to re-watch his speech, must admit I was zoning out on the beginning of it.
