The conventions are here and e-mailers are clamoring to comment, so now’s your chance. Sign into the thread below and follow the WordPress registration steps — after reading our terms of use, of course. If your comments don’t appear immediately, please be patient. It takes time to process them at first. They’ll be there eventually.
Michelle will be in and around Denver this week, Ed will be live on the scene in Minneapolis starting next Monday, and I’ll be posting only the choicest robot-related viral videos, so there should be plenty to comment on. Enjoy, and welcome!
Update: No need to sign in below, actually. You can register by clicking here.
Update: It’s 12:45 a.m. and the door is now closed.

Well, my guess is that he represents the “average” Russian view on Putin and their country’s role in the world.
Something to consider even if you wind up rejecting it.
SteveMG on August 25, 2008 at 1:23 PM
Way Cool! I am excited to finally be able to comment. I’ve wanted to many times but couldn’t. Thanks for opening up.
Snuffy on August 25, 2008 at 1:25 PM
Woohoo! Newly registered!
Popcorn at the ready, chaos anticipated in Denver! :)
Edouard on August 25, 2008 at 1:27 PM
That’s what I’m hoping too. It’s been so long, I don’t remember myself.
And yeah, I’m a masochist like that. ; )

Thune on August 25, 2008 at 1:34 PM
Allah, could you please change my name from “consanescrion” to “Consanescerion”? (it means one who was healed in latin) I mistyped and now my IPs locked out so I can’t register a second screen name. Neither am I allowed to modify my moniker.
consanescrion on August 25, 2008 at 1:34 PM
I suggest Keepon. Words cannot encompass my feelings of WANT.
Andrew D on August 25, 2008 at 1:36 PM
AHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!
I’ve been waiting for a year!
What is this, Christmas?

Better watch out for Hot Air’s Spirit of 1976. He won’t be happy with you, and he’s very smart. I can see a duel being set up.
Seven Percent Solution, fun indeed. Just control yourself. Ok, just a little. ‘naugh said!
John Thune for VP!
Entelechy on August 25, 2008 at 1:46 PM

My screenname says it most. I’m also mom to 5. DH is heading downrange soon so I need some diversion:)
Thanks for opening up registration:)

Hello, and thanks for opening up the comments!
phatphat on August 25, 2008 at 1:50 PM
It’s great to be back…and as the website gets back into shape, to track back as well.
The Wild Duck on August 25, 2008 at 1:53 PM
Hello! Glad to have the opportunity to comment.
MissEm on August 25, 2008 at 1:54 PM
Hi from ND! I’ve been reading for over a year now and love it.

Just testing. Been reading ever since Ed joined the Hot Air team and glad to finally post.
Obama/Biden – The Clean/Jerk ticket
McCain/Romney – The Spit/Polish ticket
ramdom1 on August 25, 2008 at 2:06 PM
John Thune reminds me of mix of Tony Snow and Mitt Romney(his looks) :)
Chakra Hammer on August 25, 2008 at 2:07 PM
Allah, please ignore the comment above, I found a way around it. The “consanescrion” login can be deleted.
Consanescerion on August 25, 2008 at 2:08 PM
I think Hotair is the best. It’s a great privilege to be here. Thanx!
Mr._Chumpo on August 25, 2008 at 2:10 PM

Thank you, and welcome to have me poster. The kung-fu seems strong in this place.
drunkenmaster on August 25, 2008 at 2:18 PM
Registered at last — thanx much. Love this spot, glad to be able to post.
cheeflo on August 25, 2008 at 2:27 PM
This is the first site I check every morning. Now I can finally post – yay!
JA on August 25, 2008 at 2:29 PM
Excellent!
I’ve been visiting a while now – I came over when Capt Ed joined the team – but missed the last opening to register.
Paradox Drive on August 25, 2008 at 2:29 PM
holy cow! I finally visited HA while there was an open registration! Finally I can join the debate instead of reading it….. yay!!
gaelgirl1120 on August 25, 2008 at 2:31 PM
I have so much frustrated commentary saved up – watch out!
Luv it!
trailboss on August 25, 2008 at 2:36 PM
Wow! That was easy. I didn’t think I would ever have a chance to register.
Thanks!
Jeanne on August 25, 2008 at 2:37 PM
Is this thing on……?
trailboss on August 25, 2008 at 2:41 PM
AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!! At last! Free from the darkness of lurkers and unregistration! At last I may speak freely!
Good Lord it’s bright in here.
Now to see if my work filter blocked logging in and posting like they did registration… pray for not, I constantly have at least one, sometimes more, HotAir windows open in the background at all times. Will be nice now to be able to toss in the comments bouncing around in my head rather than simply read.
Good to meet you all finally. Now you shall never be rid of me.

Grue in the Attic on August 25, 2008 at 2:42 PM

NukeBerkeley on August 25, 2008 at 3:18 PM
This is great that I’m able to finally register in Hotair. I love Jason work at the DNC and since I’m from the Twin cities…I can’t wait for Ed’s reports!
Conagher on August 25, 2008 at 3:24 PM
Oh, finally. I’ve been on Hot Air every single day for the past two months, dying to comment.
Thanks for opening it up guys.
Conservative Panda on August 25, 2008 at 3:24 PM
*sniff* *sniff*
What’s that smell? It’s a strange combination of baby powder, ozone and gym socks.
Oh, it’s open registration- I smell noobs. Lots of them.
Hollowpoint on August 25, 2008 at 3:25 PM
It’s nice to be able to comment; never thought I’d see the day.
Thanks to the HA folks and emailers who bugged them about opening registration. I thought I would have to beg.
HelenW on August 25, 2008 at 3:26 PM
YEE HAW!! One more place I can say stupid stuff online!
TexasAg03 on August 25, 2008 at 3:41 PM
I finally will be able to comment on the Robot Videos. Huzzah!
thataintchicken on August 25, 2008 at 3:42 PM
I said it before, I’ll say it again: Thank you, MM, and may God bless you! As a former Dem I’d like to say more but my teleprompter is in the shop.
mushroom on August 25, 2008 at 3:50 PM
To Capt. Ed and the Able Crew,
Nice to be aboard Captain. Been reading Hot Air since Michelle started it and I’m happy now to be able to comment.
This week should be VERY interesting – I think even more so than 1968, and the fireworks INSIDE I think will be of a higher intensity than those outside. Hope those folks on the floor are wearing their flak jackets!!
Bill_Bowen on August 25, 2008 at 3:53 PM
Don’t worry, new comment registrants. Just follow my lead, and you’ll do fine.
:-)
Kralizec on August 25, 2008 at 4:01 PM
I like you already.
Kralizec on August 25, 2008 at 4:02 PM

TXUS on August 25, 2008 at 4:06 PM
So now, Hot Air gets some of Ace’s comments too!
Oh, Boy. More Popcorn Please
Kempermanx on August 25, 2008 at 4:09 PM
How rude of me! I forgot to thank Allah and Ed! Anyone else left out?
mushroom on August 25, 2008 at 4:15 PM
Michelle M too… after all we all wouldn’t be here if she hadn’t set us up.
Much kudos to all you folk.
*eats*
Grue in the Attic on August 25, 2008 at 4:17 PM
Welcome everyone. Isn’t it a great feeling to finally be on HotAir? Coolest site on the web.
Geronimo on August 25, 2008 at 4:18 PM
Worry not, new one, darkness will befall you soon enough, especially in the HA attic :)
p.s. Kralizec is the Voltair of HA.
Entelechy on August 25, 2008 at 4:30 PM
I’m a newbie.
Now I just gotta get into LGF, and my life is complete.
cyclosarin on August 25, 2008 at 4:39 PM
Finally, a chance to say thanks for all the great work Hot Air!
Freedom_Fighter on August 25, 2008 at 4:39 PM
Finally, after nearly 3 years of reading H/A I finally have caught an open registration. Thanks and Semper Fi to all.

lorien1973 on August 25, 2008 at 5:29 PM
Fantastic! Made my night better. Hello, everyone. I want my first comment on this site to be substantive, so . . .
Oprah Winfrey waddles like a duck. Hah.
NeverContango on August 25, 2008 at 5:30 PM

Even the Collie needs the Feline American vote.
PA Cat on August 25, 2008 at 5:40 PM
Finally! Hello everyone!
I missed the last two open registrations and they come far and few between here… and what a long opening it has been today. I imagine things are going to get real busy ’round here now.
Bring in the clowns!

Somebody holler when that happens will ya?

I’m glad to be commenting here at HotAir. Thanks for the opportunity, everybody.
Morgan on August 25, 2008 at 6:13 PM
Yeah Buddy !
I’m in !
I ousted myself from Redstate after they decided to go for looking good over increasing content and their loss is hot air’s gain; i will now prove it.
In IBD article: http://www.ibdeditorials.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=303693123946167, Alaska is shown to now be pumping natural gas back into the ground because of a lack of current pipeline. If the proposed pipeline is built, it will send 4.5 million cubic feet to the lower 48 per day.

Open registration? Wow, I always assumed everyone who posted here must have received an invitation or something. Now I can post on the internet’s most exclusive web site!

jaime on August 25, 2008 at 7:01 PM
Happy to be here, but I gotta tell ya, I feel like this is a gutsy move. Been reading comments here for a while and am amazed by the knowledge of some of the people at this site- a little intimidated actually. Hope to learn a little something while I’m here.
Thanks for having me!
Smitty24 on August 25, 2008 at 7:04 PM

A warm welcome to all the new Hot Air members.
Better buckle up. It’s going to be a bumpy ride!!
Et tu Brute on August 25, 2008 at 7:16 PM
With freedom comes responsibility–who is minding the store. Some of the new commenters need further education or, failing that, expulsion.
It was so nice just having to content with apacalyps and St. Olaf.
