This convention is so LIFELESS
Part of it's the hurricane, but the whole thing just seems totally irrelevant. And I'm trying to say that as objectively as I can.

The convention seems incredibly empty and nobody seems to care. I don't want to get too cocky, but honestly, I would not be shocked at this point by a comfortable Obama win or even a landslide.

Anyone want to guess what the ratings are going to be for McCain's speech on Thursday?

3. Wait till the Palins blow in
Then it will be a party!

Wouldn't it be great if they rode in on SNOWMOBILES?

12. The folks being interviewed on the teevee keep saying how energized the GOP is now.
So, the scene on your teevees is that of an *energized* Republicon Party.

17. OMG...They are DRAGGING OUT that damned POW story. They have beat that to death!

Does anyone else think this is funny? That's his fallback line....."My friends, there was a time when I didn't have a convention to attend, I didn't have $520 shoes to wear, and I only had one kitchen table to sit at. No, actually there was a time that I didn't even HAVE a table.: :puke: to the MAX

Trying to beef up the ticket, saying Lieberman and Graham will be there- called them (?) the 3 amigos!
