QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 10:31 PM) I know we shouldn't think about this politically, but if this thing hits New Orleans during the GOP convention and the levees fail again, I think McCain is dead. It would be a living reminder of the gaffe that was Katrina, and I'm not sure they are ready to do any better down there if it happens again. Take a guess who gets the blame if this is a disaster again? For the sake of the people down there, I REALLY hope this misses New Orleans. Although really, if a storm that strong hits anywhere, it's a big problem. Frankly. it crossed my mind too. I didnt want to bring it up and we probability should avoid talking that angle. YOu are right on all accounts. Republican or Democrat, those are Americans there and they will need our help... again. The interesting point brought by MSNBC is how do you cover the hurricane / NOLA and the convention. As a news organization, they need to be fair and cover the GOP side equally, but that's pretty darn hard when the city goes under water again.

QUOTE (DABearSoX @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 09:25 PM) yea that was awesome.... anyone else see that McCain Commercial that was just on CNN with the "Hillary Supporter" that is now voting for John. That was laughable That supporter said in a McCain campaign conference call that McCain did NOT support overturning Roe v Wade. He has said many times over that he is indeed in favor of overturning it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 09:21 PM) Does the RNC reset their Biden Gaffe clock for "George...I mean, John McCain..."

When Biden referenced his mom and telling him to "bloody their noses" and Mama Biden mouthed "it's true", my wife and I literally laughed out loud.

CNN Reports that McCain has picked his VP. No name yet

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 07:20 PM) Bill's still pretty good at this. He soaks it up and loves every minute. THIS is the Bill I remember, not the one of the past 8+ months.

QUOTE (Steff @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 07:17 PM) I agree he's got some skills, but the Clinton's so easily deliver zingers as if it's just another breath they are taking. that is true

QUOTE (Steff @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 08:13 PM) This is the 4thd time I've watched and cared about these conventions and I have laughed more in the past 2 nights then all the others combined. Bill and Hill can't be beat at public speaking. Obama's pretty damn good

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 08:06 PM) And on the other hand...if it does head towards New Orleans...I could see Bush on TV...having a cake.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 07:02 PM) If it does start going towards New Orleans again, I could see Bush on TV now. "Seriously, get the f*** out of that city now, I'm not f***ing around! As a matter of fact, if you can see this broadcast, we have a problem!" LMAO!!! That takes the cake.

"sit down. we need to get this thing moving along" lol classic Bill. And there's the money line: "Barack Obama is ready to lead"

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 06:39 PM) It's gonna be a half hour of a f***ing Robot demonstration. my friends

QUOTE (Texsox @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 06:31 PM) To paraphrase Rush today he warned his readers how the "drive by media" will attack the GOP if they continues their convention while Obama and Co. are busy rolling up their sleeves and sandbagging New Orleans. Now THAT is counter programming.

Report: Bill Will Forcefully Attest To Obama's Commander-In-Chief Readiness

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 06:30 PM) LOL, have they seen McCain speak? My friends My guess is the less the better. I'd hate for him to tell America he'd veto beer and give hot water to your children

QUOTE (DABearSoX @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 06:23 PM) hahaha Mayor Daley..."and home to the 2008 World Series between the Chicago White Sox and Chicago Cubs" My wife looked at me and said "is that possible?". I told her both teams have a real shot at making it.

The Dem Gov from Montana is "pushing" Bob Barr. very sly.

For what it's worth, the Libertarian Party is declaring that Bob Barr is the only presidential candidate on the Texas ballot. They claim the republicans and democrats missed the deadline to file. My guess is that there is an exception for late conventions and the LP is just too giddy to realize it.

Biden Unleashed: Attack Dog To Be Let Loose Tonight

"Chocolate New Orleans" is on CNN right now. He's really really worried about Gustav.

FYI: Conventions: 18 Million Supporters, 26 Million Viewers for Hillary I say this not as an Obama supporter, there is NO way the GOP gets these numbers.

I just realized that I witnessed the first African-American be nominated as a presidential canidate for a major political party. Pretty damn cool.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 04:40 PM) That nominaion thing is pretty cool. Next time they should have whiskey involved. that would be bad ass. Yea, I love procedural crap like that.

And it's official, Obama is the nominee.
