1. Thanks for posting this. Hmmm. I bet the fix is somewhat in for Markey to

be Kerry's replacement as senate candidate when he wins. He's got the strongest ties to him I guess. I'm never going to forgive him for helping with the anti-first Amendment FCC witchhunt though. I mention him because he's the only rep from Massachusetts to be speaking.

Great list though.

2. i noticed

Markey was the only possible Senate successor to Kerry speaking also and assumed it means he will probably be the Democrat to run without any challengers in a primary. i didn't know about the fcc thing. i would rather have barney frank succeed Kerry to the seat. but i guess it will be Markey. but i'm not disappointed with him either.

3. good list

Glad to see that Dennis will get 6 minutes of prime time on Wednesday. If only the broadcast networks would show it.

[JI7]

4. yeah, they are skipping most of it

from what i remember they will only show bill clinton, john edwards, and john kerry.

5. A wide range of speakers, sounds great

from conservative blue dog democrats like Jim Turner to Kucinich to one of Kerry's crewmembers and a 13 year old. I wish I could go but I gotta work and I dont have much money. Great list.

[JI7]

8. yes, they have something for every democrat

whether you are conservative, moderate or a liberal democrat. i also love it that the kids of both kerry and edwards will be speaking. and it was good to include all the primary candidates in the primetime schedule. i'm just glad i got cspan because the major networks will not be showing most of it. it's too bad also since i think even those who aren't very much into politics might have enjoyed seeing some of the speakers.

6. Excellent photo from the primary debates...

Two ironies... Everyone's waving with their right hands 'cept Dennis who's waving with the left. Natch. And Kerry and Edwards, ironically, aren't waving at all.

"I buried Paul..."

7. WOW! I'm pumped!!!

I can't believe I'm so excited to watch a week of politicians speaking! This list is amazing, it's going to be a great week for Democrats!
