Before I get to the incredible speech by Barack Obama tonight I want to do a quick update for day 3 which I unfortunately wasn’t able to get to until now. Joe Biden (the VP nominee), John Kerry (2004 nominee), and Bill Clinton (President from ’93 to ’01) were the biggest names speaking on day [...]

It’s official. Barack Obama is the 2008 nominee for President from the Democratic party. Hillary Clinton asked to cut today’s official roll call short as a show of party unity and support for Obama for President.

Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer gave a great speech at the Democratic Convention last night but unfortunately most people didn’t see it as it wasn’t carried by most of the news networks (they’d rather let their talking heads ramble on rather than listen to the actual speeches.)

It’s important for Democrats to drive home the idea that McCain is just like Bush and represents 4 more years of the [...]

Ohio Democratic Congressman (and Presidential candidate in ’04 & ’08) Dennis Kucinich gave an impassioned speech about the despicable Bush admin and how important it is not to allow another 4 years of the same (John McCain) at the Democratic Convention today. Watch it:

Every time McCain needs to defend himself he says “but I was a POW.”

Last night Barack Obama’s wife Michelle Obama finished up the first night of the Democratic National Convention with a fantastic speech. Watch the entire speech below (along with the end of the introduction by her brother, Craig Robinson.)
