Democratic National Convention **live commentary thread**

[Eraserhead]

I dont get the Ryan-Romney thing? Is that a joke in liberal circles?

All of the ideological weight is on the bottom half of that ticket. Nobody really knows what Romney is. Thus the joke.

[Likely Voter]

That little girl is stealing the show.

[Lief 🗽]

The relay not a race and microphone not a mop lines were both pretty sweet.

[pepper11]

Someone tell Julian he isn't the new Barack.

And way to cheat off of Rubio with the "I can hold this microphone instead of a mop." line.

Yeah this is no Obama 04 speech...

Decent partison attack lines, otherwise boring and divisive.

Cute kid.

[Lief 🗽]

Uh... what was divisive about that speech?

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Excellent speech.  Castro is definitely looking to move up somewhere.  Too bad he's from a state where it will never happen.

[Negusa Nagast 🚀]

Castro was good, but I would have preferred Patrick in the slot.

[Eraserhead]

Castro did a nice job. Nothing too amazing but he had some good lines.

This convention already blows away last week's.

Damn, we are pandering hard for VA.......

[Negusa Nagast 🚀]

Damn, we are pandering hard for VA.......

Yeah, but we're pandering for Ohio even more.

[pepper11]

This is where the Repubs messed up. Should have divided the speeches with nice intros like this.

[Lief 🗽]

Not really sure what the point of this video is? We all know Michelle is adorable and literally the best and anyone who disagrees can just GTFO of my country.

[pepper11]

Where is Michelle?

[Eraserhead]

I honestly don't get why anyone wouldn't like Michelle Obama (other than the one pathetic, obvious reason). There's really nothing grating or even partisan about her.

[Thomas D]

Where is Michelle?

Where was George?

Just that one itty-bitty War on Fat People.

[Likely Voter]

Dems are doing it smart. and in the right order for prime time hour

1. Fiery speech for the base
2. Nice intro video for main speaker
3. Brief introduction (from regular white middleaged mom...key swing demo)
4. Main speaker to appeal to the middle

Obese libertarians acting offended that she's trying to get their children to be less fat.

[Torie]

Castro did a nice job. Nothing too amazing but he had some good lines.

He's a very good speaker (next to Rubio, the best Hispanic speaker I have seen). I didn't agree with much that came out of his mouth, but then I am almost totally estranged from Obama's economic/medical subsidies policies now. Obama has done a fantastic job of reminding me why I am a Pub.

Granted, no one likes to be told they are a fat***.....

What do you mean you want my children to live longer and look better?! Preposterous!

[King]

But how many businesses did this lazy dying man start?

[Averroës Nix]

Crap. I fell asleep five minutes into O'Malley's speech and I've missed everything since then.
