Tonight feels like the debate nights...
last fall. I don't know what it is. There have been other speeches this year, but tonight feels different, both in general and here on DU.

Anyone else feel that way?

BTW, thanks to all who posted about what was going on during the speech! I really appreciated it! :hi:

15. Just don't tell me we are turning the corner
or that the administration is in its "last throes", because then it will last twelve more years :scared:

And coming together, yes. I think I'm seeing more of that lately.

6. Probably because the intelligent man who should have been our President
spoke earlier today and (pre)rebutted the Idiot King's dismal performance, just like the debates.

13. True...Kerry was the counterpoint again,
and it felt like a lot of people were rallying around him, which I always like to see!

7. Not me-- because with the debates, I had HOPE we'd get rid of
that piece of crap. So I was in a light-hearted mood then.
Not anymore. :(
