I'm so proud of US

Watching Chris Matthews, with a backdrop of Dem convention goers - OMG, they are so different than those seen at the Rethug convention! Enthusiastic, diverse ... makes me feel really proud that we are who we are, unlike THEM. Reverand Jesse Jackson. Chris is all grins, hearing the enthusiasm and cheers. We are special. We have to win this. We WILL win this.

Go Obama & Biden! We need you!

I am watching Thursday night with my neighbors and they are such a great family. They invited about 20 people and we're all bringing appetizers and our instruments. I imagine republicans barricaded in their homes, clutching their guns and bibles and hating their Hispanic neighbors.

Maybe the RNC Photoshopped them out to preserve their "whiteness".
