Low expectations…mean big score for McCain. He should not try to distance himself from the greatest president the greatest president ever
tomas on September 4, 2008 at 8:10 PM
Does anyone else think Frist is not such a good speaker?
Count to 10 on September 4, 2008 at 8:16 PM
His strategy is clearly to find disgruntled Democrats. Therefore McCain shut up about being a Reagan Republican (a filthy lie anyway) and is sending the message to the left that he will seek to stick us with amnesty McCain style, he will not change the status quo in killing off unborn life,
He will go along with the mythology of global warming solutions. In short he thinks putting Palin on the ticket is all that he has to do to make the GOP base unquestioningly support a bitter old liberal like McCain. Sadly it probably is for far too many of the GOP sheeple who will no longer hold McCain accountable when he starts his liberal agenda on the social issues.

I’ll be at the convention broadcast just south of San Francisco tonight hosted by the SFYR. Look me up if you happen to be around as well.
fanderbiles on September 4, 2008 at 8:19 PM
Is the selection of some of the most boring speakers preceding him supposed to make McCain look good? Then there are two of my favorites – Mel and Lindsay also both scheduled (well Mel just flopped off so its up to Lindsay now) …. oh I can’t stand it! Heard the ‘Maverick’ is also going to talk about reaching across the aisle.. just the thing to bring the base together…
After last nights energy and excitement – he is bound and determined to follow it with a total downer…
It’s the old boys RINO network ……. think I’ll go to bed early tonight!

We have all been starving for a conservative somewhere to stand up and turn on a light! Finally, one did!
What is so great about Palin, is that she has reminded us, that one does not have to have a Harvard degree, one does not have to be accepted and anointed by the mainstream media, one does not have to come from New York or Boston or be from the right family to shake things up. Palin is proof that in America ordinary people can shape a nation. She is just a mom who started down this road because she cared about her kids education. She wasn’t satisfied with leaving everything up to the experts. She took her parental responsibility seriously.
The threat she poses to the liberal elites goes beyond this election. The threat is also about the example she sets that others may be inspired to follow.
Like little Dorothy pulling the curtain away to reveal the inept man behind the image of the mighty Wizard, she has stripped liberal elites naked for all to see.
Mighty liberal walls and fortifications crumbled last night. They crumbled not by some mighty army, but, by a mother. Just a mother who cared enough about her kids education to get involved, to show up and to speak out.

I’ve been spending most of my “convention” time over at Michelle’s signature site. Just wanted to say thanks again to Ed and Ustream TV for the coverage here.
Zorro on September 4, 2008 at 8:57 PM
I paused it when Grahamnesty came on….can’t stand him.
ex-Democrat on September 4, 2008 at 9:01 PM
OK, the Frist schtick was the single worst public speaking event I have ever witnessed. He is just awful.
Brownback was better, but the crowd looked like they had been injected with Demerol and followed with a 6 pack of Bud Light. What a mess.
Jaibones on September 4, 2008 at 9:02 PM
Just watching Obama on O’Reilly. Was he trying that “lean in” to O’Reilly’s space thing that Clinton used on Chris Matthews? If that is what he was trying, he failed miserably.
Kevin71 on September 4, 2008 at 9:02 PM
Uh, oh. Fox has Grahamnesty on now. Yuck.
Jaibones on September 4, 2008 at 9:03 PM
Kevin71,
He gives up a couple inches to O’Reilly. That won’t work.
Jaibones on September 4, 2008 at 9:04 PM
Okay, why am I not allowed to participate in this chatroom?
My feelings are, like, hurt.
:)
Bob's Kid on September 4, 2008 at 9:06 PM
Grahamnesty is dull and not trusted. Lets hope the speakers get better after this. This night needs to be strong!
Nyog_of_the_Bog on September 4, 2008 at 9:07 PM
Why is Clay Aiken adressing the RNC?
Knuckledragger on September 4, 2008 at 9:07 PM
I think I am pessimistic like AP is. It’s hard to not be considering the media is carrrying the water for “The One.”
matthew26 on September 4, 2008 at 9:08 PM
Couldn’t they put Graham on Tuesday at 9:00? He is dull.
jencab on September 4, 2008 at 9:08 PM
RINO night at the Convention, I see. Yeah, that Graham is about as a wet blanket that they could have put out there…guy has the charisma of mortician. Agreed with most of what he said, but he’s such an obvious hack that he left me down. Well, maybe his speach was designed to make Maverick’s look good by comparison…Maverick needs to do something to compliment Palins blockbuster last night…
AUINSC on September 4, 2008 at 9:15 PM
Ridge…patriot and nice guy. Should never has been chosen to speak tonight…again, not an inspirational speaker…that’s the only pattern I can detect with tonight’s speaker lineup leading up to McCain’s acceptance speach.
But, like dubya, McCain is very loyal to his friends…
AUINSC on September 4, 2008 at 9:19 PM
I could not allow the memory of last night to be spoiled by watching Grahmnesty.
JellyToast on September 4, 2008 at 9:23 PM
Cindy McCain is going to be a spectacular first lady…more along the lines of Jackie O and Nancy Reagan. I think the video was a good tribute and gave the viewers the chance to see she’s not just a pretty face.
Deanna on September 4, 2008 at 9:47 PM
Oh, bull! They hack your family to death and you are suppose to forgive? This reconciliation movement only means the guilty get off scot free. That’s the type of justice they have in europe where everyone is considered rehabilitated after 10 years max in prison. That better not be a McCain policy.
Blake on September 4, 2008 at 9:54 PM
By the way, the video and the chat almost fit on the screen of my laptop, but only if there is no text between them.
Count to 10 on September 4, 2008 at 10:03 PM
What’s up with the live chat? Those idiots writing all the crap aren’t HotAir posters are they? Please tell me we didn’t open the doors and let in all those assclowns in here. They’ll fill up these threads with so much garbage to wade through that the rest of us might give up. That can’t happen just weeks before the election! WAIT A MINUTE… WHERE’S ASHTON KUCHER? I’M SO SILLY. WE’RE ON MTV, RIGHT?
NightmareOnKStreet on September 4, 2008 at 10:56 PM
He’s no Palin.
JellyToast on September 4, 2008 at 11:02 PM
The man just makes me think of Charlie Chaplin in the later years..
PiggieSez on September 4, 2008 at 11:04 PM
finished watching Mccain. I thouht it was great and it broke my heart as he was asking for people to stand up and fight, he could not raise his arms.
That is true sacrfice.
jharada on September 4, 2008 at 11:06 PM
Not a bad speech by McCain. Good ending.
Count to 10 on September 4, 2008 at 11:06 PM
OMG, you HAVE to get that clip of Andrea Mitchell talking just now. She was swarmed by balloons, and she kept swatting them away and they kept coming back.
I haven’t laughed so hard in my life.
Enoxo on September 4, 2008 at 11:19 PM
MSNBC ANDREA MITCHELL IS LOST IN A SEA OF BALLOONS TRYING TO GIVE HER REPORT. OMG!! SO FUNNY. THOSE PEOPLE WEREN’T INTERESTED IN HER REPORT AND I THINK THEY MADE IT CLEAR. OLBERMANN & BROKAW ARE CALLING HER A “WARRIOR” AND “BOOM BOOM MITCHELL”. SHE STILL DOESN’T GET THAT SHE IS THE TARGET!!! PRICELESS!!!! LOOK FOR IT ON YOUTUBE! (SORRY FOR THE CAPS)
NightmareOnKStreet on September 4, 2008 at 11:19 PM
I left before he finished. I read the ending and it reads great. I think the Republicans are going to do well.
JellyToast on September 4, 2008 at 11:39 PM
Uh-oh. An MSNBC interview of a veteran who knows McCain just said McCain’s experience will make him the kind of leader that is “incapable of backing down”. I’m sure this will be taken out of context and shown repeatedly. Poor guy was only trying to praise his friend and say he wouldn’t back down, but the incapable part sounds too much like what the left has said about Pres. Bush. I sure hope I’m wrong.
