Thankfully, there was some problem with my feed so I quickly surfed through channels -- skipping over FOX and MSNBC -- and found PBS and C-SPAN.

CNN is going to Castenanos.. Warner is the next rock star and serious competition in 2012... uh, if Obama doesn't make it.  (Did anyone not know that the Dems were pushing Warner forward? duh)  Bernstein on, must change channel (he says Warner was Clintonian, ha)

MSNBC.. what is it with the hair?  Tweety looks like he's been (I can't write that) ok, his hair is messy.  Oblaberman's hair is so stiff and  shiny all I can think of is a Reagan holloween mask..... (I like Pat Buchanan this election)  Tweety: 'post rational' time to change the channel.  

Fox: speech won't make a difference.  They say Warner was moved because he would not go after McCain.  (Why don't people like Warner just run as indies?)

MSNBC, post-partisan won't get voters.  Need specifics.  This is not going to get votes.  Myers: talk to rural voters.  (Does she know Rahm said this election was going to be in the suburbs? ha)

CNN: Begala, Penn got Clinton where she is (ouch) Borger: Clinton will discuss Clinton economy years.

MSNBC: Tweety still needs to comb his hair and Oblaberman needs a shampoo.

I thought it would have been a good opportunity to address the Democrats platform on gay rights and equality, but, he just launched into the same old, same old.

I know, I know ... his daughter's sexuality is a personal issue, but it was widely publicized in Mass. media and some national media ... and Patrick even marched at Boston Pride because of that.

The video and the introduction was just amazing.

The song when she came on was really good. I wish I knew what that song was.

Michelle Obama clapping for Hillary.

HRC: "Whether you voted for me, or voted for Barack, it is time now for our party to unite for a single purpose."

"We are on the same team, and none of us can afford to sit on the sidelines. This is a fight and one we must win together.  I haven't spent the last 35 years in the trenches, advocating for children, universal healthcare...and fighting for womens' rights around the world and here at home, to see another Republican in the White House squander another opportunity to fulfill the hopes of our country...or for us to suffer through more failed leadership.  No way, no how, no McCain."

"Barack Obama is my candidate, and he must be our president."

Wow... the applause is amazing, the video was very moving, hope we get to see, tears, looked lke bill teared up, showing a young woman teared up, she can't stop the applause, I am here as a proud mom proud Dem, proud Sen from NY, proud Amer, and a proud supp of BO, Bill stood and cheered, michelle is on the ?? she looks mad :(, they keep going for her expression... time is now to unite as a single party w/single purpose the applause are huge.

We are on the same team, and none of us can afford to sit on the sidelines.  A fight for the future,  we must win together.  I haven't spent the past 35 yers in the trenches... children, UHS balancing work and Family, women;  to see another Rep in the WH to squander ???... and you haven't work so hard for 18 mos, to suffer through more failed leadership,

Love that she's paying tribute to Stephanie Tubbs Jones.

"Family of Democrats."

But they're going to rip her for forgetting she was supposed to be speaking for Barack, not give a stump speech for herself.  It kills me, but I can feel it coming.

And she doesn't do any of that post-partisan crap. "Not another Republican in the White House".

Addressing Iraq and the toll on the injured and just those who spent time there.

Now, unemployment and poverty.

Sisterhood of the traveling pantsuits! You never gave in and we never gave up.

Mentions loss of Tubbs Jones and Ark Dem chair--my god! She's become a great speaker!!

Fairness. The Clinton key word that still resonates. Even chimps demand fairness! It's in our DNA.

Succinct--a phrase to bring to mind entire complex issues. All to dealt with fairly.

Matthews: exuberant, eyes wide open. Compact.  Presidential.  No sense of defeat, not triumph, purpose... we are going somewhere together. Her heart.  Great speech writing (Olberman, great stuff)  Matthews seems to be pandering to Dems.  Matthews is effusive.  (I wouldn't say it, but I am thinking @sshole)

Our party made a mistake folks.

He's raving about Michelle's speech from last night and lying about how excited Michelle and Joe Biden were during the speech.  Sorry, but Michelle looked like she was sucking a lemon.  Even I was surprised that she didn't at least try to fake a smile.

Unsolicited Advice for Hillary   [Lisa Schiffren]

If Hillary Clinton is wavering over what the correct thing to do tonight is, I hope she will consider a few points:

This is Barack Obama's party now. By dint of Democratic party rules, rather than real majorities in key states, he has won the nomination. Therefore, it is his obligation to unite the party, should there be serious rifts, and to win the election in November. Hillary Rodham Clinton, you have spent too much of your life cleaning up after Bill Clinton, making his messes go away. For the first time in your life you have come near realizing your potential alone. Do not bend now, and do Obama's work for him. Don't help. Just sit there. You get nothing for helping. Am I clear?

Release your voters -- but leave it at that. Stop raising money. Sit out the election. Free yourself of the addiction to crowds and adulation over the next 12 weeks. If he wants those female and/or white working class voters, let him figure out how to convince them. If he can't do it, he shouldn't be president.

Be correct. As Emily Post would have advised, be icily proper. Say nothing wrong. Express verbal support for the Obamas, but convey no positive emotion or energy on behalf of the ticket. Be a tiny, tiny bit condescending about his experience. Dismiss claims that you are not being supportive with a brusque, "that's ridiculous. I have always been a Democrat and I am not changing that now," non-denial. If asked whether you have changed your mind about his qualifications for the presidency, raise an eyebrow, assume a mocking look for a nano-second, and say, "We share the same values."

Issue perfunctory denials of support when John McCain quotes you in sly ads. You have clearly mastered this already.

Establish your power base and define an agenda of items you absolutely wish to accomplish. Discuss these publicly. If Obama wins, he will have to support your policies. If McCain wins, he may feel that he has to support (some of) your issues. (I am certain that I will disapprove of these policies -- but that isn't the point.) Send the McCain campaign any good oppo research you didn't use in return for a promise about some program for kids.

Do not wear a pantsuit in a color that could be confused with an elevated threat level tonight. I am not suggesting anything as radical as a dress. But keep the color cool. Grey, lapis blue -- those are good. For the future, think about a new sartorial style. Just to shake things up.

See if you can learn to speak with something like a smile around your eyes. It will make you seem good natured and wise, and will help with seeming above it -- the last of which is necessary for the next few months.

Regroup. You have many options. Your party has a weak bench (Joe Biden?) and 2012 is possible. It is also possible that you can actually acquire serious power, and accomplish much of your (evil) agenda in the U.S. Senate, which your party will control.

Why should you do all this? Because the most important thing you demonstrated to women in America is that when you got hit, you got back up to fight another day. You learned from your mistakes and went on. Showing up in politics was a big deal for your generation. But all women expect to work now. Mostly they expect to succeed -- until they (we) hit roadblocks. You showed women, girls, and men that when you got hit you would come back swinging, and that you would get back up if you stumbled. That is an invaluable lesson, because everyone gets hit sometimes, and women are not taught to return to the arena the way men are. (These days young girls are taught that...but we can't wait for all of them to grow up.)

She sure does know how to capture the crowd, doesn't she!?
