Got my C-SPAN on, got my water...

[MrScorpio]

The delegates on tv look like they're as nutty as a fruit cake, but I actually like fruit cake. It's a happy, fun-loving crazy, not the blind with hatefulness crazy that we saw last week.

The crowd also looks more like the America I know, not the America that thinks that Ozzie and Harriet is the norm.

We're going to get a good show, a positive and optimistic vision of our future under Democratic leadership.

The world doesn't have to be a scary place unless that's how we want it to be.

Time to make a choice.

Let's get this party started.

1. The quote of the convention came before the gavel even dropped.

"The delegates on tv look like they're as nutty as a fruit cake, but I actually like fruit cake."

2. I can't even watch...

which is a shame considering I was going to go over and be there in person over the next few days.

So damn sad.

4. Thanks for the heads-up! Tuneing into C-Span now!

Loving this rendition of the Battle Hymn of the Republic.

5. Hope some of the love rubs off on those agitators. Should be entertaining either way.

7. I have to run out and work for a few hours, but I have enough...

free space to record the whole thing.

Choir opening is an interesting choice-- start out with a slap in Trump's face. Dunno if that was the intent, but the contrast is welcome.

8. YES - moved to it 5 minutes ago

The DNC just put a message out there with that performance.

11. Was Bush at home dancing?

12. !!!!

15. Isn't the Battle Hymn of the Republic his favorite dance tune?

Boogy down, Dub-ya.
The Democrats are in the house!

[BumRushDaShow]

16. This version

may have been too slow for him.

10. I'm watching on C-SPAN too.

I don't need media spin from the crazies on the right or the very, very concerned on the left.

And as an added bonus, in my sixth decade, I will watch my party nominate a woman.

Let's get the party started indeed.

13. Might need something stronger than "water" if things go south.

I hope the atmosphere influence folks to behave.

[MrScorpio]

14. I'm not worried one bit. nt
