I love these everyday people speaking. It takes guts to speak to a crowd like that!

[Minimus]

:applause:

[liberalmuse]

1. I love this Insurance Agent lady.

These are really good speakers!

[BeyondGeography]

2. No kidding...Monica the Insurance Agent from Ohio kicked ass

[femmocrat]

3. The woman who just spoke (Monica Early) was better than some of the politicians!

I thoroughly enjoyed her speech!

:applause:

[Minimus]

7. Einsteins definition of insanity was perfect!

[girl gone mad]

8. Yep, she should run for office..

great job, Monica!!

[stray cat]

4. It does take courage - hats off to each of them!

[gblady]

5. I think it is....

a very cool idea. The common man. Real stories.
Real struggles. Real emotions.
Excellent!

[Lars39]

6. They're doing an excellent job!

[eshfemme]

9. Yeah, they have a story to tell their grandkids-- they spoke in front of 75,000 people!!!

How many people can say that? I'm really loving the stadium. It basically increased the democratic-ness of the DNC exponentially.

[GreenPartyVoter]

18. Multiplied by all the viewers around the world!

[Wapsie B]

10. Yeah, they did.

Monica's got a nice speech, cute too.

[grace0418]

11. They are all fantastic and they are all making me cry with a mixture of pride,

despair and hope for our country.

[Minimus]

20. me too.

[orwell]

What a surprise...

...ordinary citizens are mad as hell and they're not going to take it anymore.

A masterstroke...

[Muttocracy]

12. they've all been terrific! and brave! nt

[goodgd_yall]

13. "What makes me angry....

is that Bush/Cheney has done NOTHING for people like me." Spoken by pet shop owner whose shop went bust. She's working more than one job, no health insurance, and has diabetes.

[MassLiberal]

14. Yes, and the crowd is loving them, too!

They're so great!!

[goodgd_yall]

15. Pamela kicked ass!!!

[live love laugh]

19. Yup. n/t

[Minimus]

16. another speaker from NC - my home state - a lifelong repub voting for Obama!

[WHAT]

17. Me, too...

I wonder if any of them are the people who won the contest to meet Obama backstage?.

I was hoping for a special feature on them because they seemed like such interesting people. I like the way people have their own lives yet are knitted together...reminds me of "Working".

[Colobo]

21. I'm proud of them!

[grace0418]

22. Barney Smith before Smith Barney!

brilliant!

[vaberella]

23. I adored Pamela. Barney! Barney! Barney! Barney!! n/t

[Minimus]

24. Barney Smith before Smith Barney!!! bwahahahaha!!! I love it!

[blonndee]

25. I'm so glad I switched to CSPAN! These people are wonderful!

And the nurse from NC was a hoot, but gave a very powerful and convincing endorsement.

[Raine]

26. They're doing GREAT! I would be so scared

to get up like that I probably couldn't say anything.

[Muttocracy]

27. whoever planned these speakers deserves a big old prize. nt

[grace0418]

28. Even the ass on PBS (David Brooks) liked them! It's the first wholly positive

statement I've heard him make.

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

29. Pam from NC was the shiznits

[jasmeel]

30. PAM!

That is all.

Also, McCain should shit a brick.

[Minimus]

31. I tell you - NC is going blue!! I live in rural NC and there are many just like Pam!

[WinkyDink]

32. It most assuredly does! Gotta love the chants of "Bar-ney! Bar-ney!"
