By that I mean, every single talking point on Clinton speech has been discussed here, and with the same points for clarification or support. We're all over it.
Another good reason to stick with this crowd
Thanks DU for keeping me very informed and up to date of the impotant topics that pertain to all of us!

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Former President Bill Clintons stem-winding nomination speech was a fact-checkers nightmare: lots of effort required to run down his many statistics and factual claims, producing little for us to write about.
Republicans will find plenty of Clintons scorching opinions objectionable. But with few exceptions, we found his stats checked out.

I love it when everyone is posting threads on the same thing, due to so much excitement, like the Clinton speech last night.

...but having it on the tail of all those previous speeches...well, the whole package makes me pretty darned proud to be assosicated with this party.
