[La_Serpiente]

2. Isn't it live?

I thought it was live.

[w13rd0]

3. Yes. but sometimes there's an advanced release...

...of the text of the speech, but I've not seen one. Still waiting...

[MrSoundAndVision]

5. i hear people

but see flags.

[La_Serpiente]

6. Wow, is that in a stadium?

Looks like a lot of people.

[La_Serpiente]

7. I wonder what Al Gore is going to say

8. McCain is stealing Gore's audience

He's insisting on more questions, even when prompted to leave.

He knows that nobody would tune in to hear his lame ass, so he's cutting into Gore's time, when there's an audience.

10. This was from Wednesday

as clearly labeled in the right hand corner of the screen.

[mw]

15. Well, then McCain benefits without knowing it.

Someone to actually listen to him.

[Snoopy2]

9. C-SPAN will be showing it

C-SPAN is running a blurb on the bottom of the screen that they will cut to the speech when it starts.

14. Zack Exley (moveon)...

...talking about how the internet has been used. Talking about queries on the database to see what people have been participating in, calls to congressman, donations to moveon ad campaigns, pushing public debate, organized real events using internet tools, candlelight vigils, thank you, thank you in person, thank you in advance. Something tells me, I have a feeling, 2004 is gonna be a very good year. Excited to be co-sponsor with American Constitution Society, progressive approach to the law, countering right-wing assault on the law and Constitution. Standing up to it. Co-Sponsor, pleased to be working with them. Lisa Brown, advisor to Gore, member of ACS.

Lisa Brown (american constitution society)...
Applaud moveon for work they do connecting americans to their democratic process. Recognize an amazing woman for engaging women in our civic process, reminding us all politics is personal. Please welcome Tipper Gore. Finally, let me thank all of you. Great to see energized people gather to hear one of our greatest leaders talk about how to protect our nation and preserve our principles.

16. kick... still on

[BlueEyedSon]

17. Woohoo! Fun to watch our elected President in action!

[ET Awful]

18. So far great speech as usual. . .

Starting with the intro where he was called "President . . . excuse me Vice-President Al Gore." and continuing on to his shredding Shrubco for invading Iraq do shift attention from bin Laden.

[Eroshan]

19. Man what a different

world this would have been had the better man been allowed to take office as he was voted for. He is light years ahead of the short bus president. great speech so far.

[livinontheedge]

20. I still can't stand his whiney, condenscending tone.

Dean should give this speech.

[Eroshan]

21. you must have

been listening to someone else. I did not feel condesended to. I felt like he was sharing information and trying to rally the masses.

[livinontheedge]

22. No, I'm sure I was watching the one and only.

I said his "tone" was condenscending. I can't stand it. He sounds like a professor trying to lecture the dumbshits. I don't disagree all that much with what he said, just the way he says it.

[Jackson4Gore]

25. Please remember, Gore is the leader of this party and was elected once

as President. When Howard Dean does that come back and tell me!

[Cheswick2.0]

26. I am sorry you feel like a dumbshit listening to Gore

Perhaps you are one of those people Ari the liar was talking about... you know, the ones who don't want their Pres to be the smartest guy in the room.

[Skittles]

24. whiny and condescending?

who said that? Rush? Savage? O'Reilly? :puke:

[MasonJar]

23. Gore's speech

Wow! That speech went all the way. It was in direct contrast to Shrub's monitor driven dribble. He obviously was not reading off a monitor. It was empassioned and no holds barred. He minced no words in calling the Bushies to account for the attack on civil liberties. If you haven't seen it, do.

[Gingergal]

27. Gore's next speech Tues. Nov. 11 in Tenn.

Will CPAN carry this one?
