12. Actually, I'm reminded of James Brown tonight
James Brown put it ALL on the line for his fans.

He never held back. When they came and got him from the stage, on his knees... trying to pull him back, with that cape around his neck...

I used to think... "Oh, it's an act... just hokum."

But I was wrong...

Barack reminded me of James Brown tonight. He's trying to tell us... he's not going to stop until we hear him... no holding back... this is me... this is real... If not me, then WHO? IF NOT NOW, THEN WHEN?

2. I just missed all that ruckus -- my son interrupted me -- what did he say right before he said
"I hope there are some Hillary supporters here ... I want to persuade them..."?

It's a rowdy crowd.

5. "Senator Clinton is a tenacious opponent." (Boos)
Edited on Fri Apr-18-08 08:03 PM by Tatiana
But her basic argument is vote for me because I know the game and can play it.

Clinton defends kitchen sink strategy because this is how the Republicans will attack.

"I'm not running to defend Washington, I'm running to CHANGE Washington!" (Thunderous applause)

7. "I'm running to tell the American people the truth."
I won't stand here and tell you we can stop every job from going oversees... But what we can do is say we won't enter into any more trade agreements unless there are standards.

Politics that keeps track of points scored on fake controversies. This doesn't make for good government. Doesn't help you pay for college or bring your loved one home from Iraq.

The Democratic party has always been best when we have led by principles.
