About time errriiiccc - except you have the heading wrong it should read "Barack Obama's Democratic Nominee Speech"

FIX IT!!

Now THIS is a speech!

FTW

Sen Obama has +9,000 net votes tonight with only 62% of the Big Sky counted (it is that big).

Really, who gives a fuck.

He bought the nomination, had his cronies lynch Clinton at the Rules meeting. Voting for Obama is like voting for the intern to run the company.

I urge all Clinton supporters to both continue to support her and agree not to vote in the election should Obama actually receive the nomination in August.

32000 people came out to see him tonight. That's got to make Republicans nervous....

Well, let me see if I understand this. Obama has made history tonight as the first african-american as the nominee of a major political party in the western world, not just the US. Unbelievable. Amazing. We will be talking to our grand-kids about this.

And, what's the heading on the front page: "Obama declares himself the nominee." That's fucked up. What's the heading above his speech: "Obama's primary night speech." That's fucked up as well. Why is there no respect from the clintons, the clintons' surrogates including TPM, Mcbush, anybody? Hello. This is an incredible and historical event and the response is no big deal and by the way he is claiming it himself, not every fucking news organization and the supers that have come out and endorsed him.

Damn, I can't wait until the clintons are gone. Pathetic.

Afterhours on MSNBC was talkign about Hillary for VP, yes/no?

Here is my quick reply giving the top-three reasons is should be no:

1) Iraq: She voted for it, and destroys the Obama argument that judgment trumps McCain's experience, because she had the same lapse of judgement that has killed thousands of our troops and enabled the biggest foreign policy disaster in our nation's history. She forces that issue off the table because McCain can simply point to her to negate his clean argument on this issue and thereby cedes national security by default because she is on the ticket.

2) She unifies the GOP: She would be the single biggest unifying force for the GOP base to embrace McCain.

3) GOP pre-loaded GOP talking points: The GOP can avoid talking on the issues if the CLinton name is on the ticket. All they have to say is "Hillarycare" and half the country tunes out and rejects the Democratic potion in Pavlovian response to the tainted brand name of Clinton.

Can I just say that Lanny Davis is a lying fuck?!??!?!?!!??!111??!!?!??

You people just don't get it. Obama hasn't won anything yet. And even if he wins, he won't be able to accomplish anything with a Democratic party split in half.

He broke in line. And any grade school child can tell you that you don't do that. The only question now is will he be another George McGovern or another Jimmy Carter.

I watched this again and it still moves me to tears. This is just an incredible moment in history for our country. I'm so proud that we succeeded in bringing him the nomination and am really looking forward to the General Election. Obama is gonna kick ass!

I fell asleep with C-SPAN on and woke up to this speech. Usually when I accidentally fall asleep with the TV on I wake up thinking I can become a millionaire reselling real estate or convinced that I need a new set of knives. So this was a nice surprise. :)

As an Obama fan, I was a volunteer 16 months ago in Springfield Illinois when he announced his candidacy. Seventeen thousand people came from around the nation, and stood in the extremely cold air of below 10 degrees, to be present at that historic moment.

I helped direct cars to free parking lots for five hours and had to keep moving farther and farther from the speech venue as the closer-in parking lots filled. I lost track of the cars with out-of-state license plates, but I will never forget the joy-filled faces of those inside all of those cars as they opened their car windows to hear specifics on where to park. They said they were there to witness history and had brought their children to witness history.

Well, yesterday was an absolutely terrible day in my long haul of following and supporting Barack Obama. I missed all the news and all the speeches because severe storms caused electricity outage in my entire county from mid-morning yesterday until early am today. No news about the day's endorsements, or the last two primary results.....sleeping in the basement, and missing the culmination [in real time] of what began 16 months ago.

But, hey, I can live with missing the day, and I am catching up through TPM this morning. Thanks, TPM!

A very friendly crowd. I was amazed looking out at the crowd, young, old, black, white, brown, every shade in between, blue collar-working class, white class, kids, women and men, gay, straight, mothers, fathers, grandmothers, and grandfathers. I was very happy to be a part of such a diverse party as the Democrats are and very proud that Senator Obama could bring us together with so much excitement.

Back in February when I voted for Clinton, I thought these rallies were silly and kind of American Idol. Being there I experienced something totally different. The unity, the community, the atmosphere itself was so inclusive. I really felt like we were all family. Happy to have you be a part of that olwhitelady. Happy I met Tish, a very nice young woman, who sat next to us, too! Hi, Tish!!!
