7. So many great moments.

Sep 2012

From the soft spoken Harry "Rope-a-Dope" Reid, Jimmy Carter, and Lincoln Chafer, to the fiery Democratic House women.

High points for me, beyond the obvious ones, Tammy fucking Duckworth who single-handedly gave the lie to the entire RNC convention which never once mentioned the military, let alone war. She brought Joe Biden to tears, and me, too. Gawd, we need her. Please support Tammy Duckworth for Congress. That's presidential material there.

The Democrats were taking no prisoners. Even the Teddy Kennedy tribute skewered Rmoney.

But, the best of all were all the women. Gees Louise! They were brutal against the idiocy of the Republican position on women's health. Many of the male speakers echoed that.

My take away is that the Democrats are bringing the battle to the Republican's door. There is no escaping that the RNC has no where to hide. They are hoisted by their own petard. Embarrassing for them. I would be ashamed, if I were them.

Amazing night, and there are two to go.
