I keep my Teevee off till 5:00 p.m. religiously.

[Ichingcarpenter]

6. Me too.... its been great listening to good music instead.

I only turn it on for Keith and then when someone on DU says something
is happening live.

[IndyOp]

4. The whole thing? I'll turn it on, but load CNN.com just in case he cuts away. (n/t)

I am not sure it will be on CNN.com, but recent Obama events have been so I am off to check.

:hi:

[blogslut]

5. Did CNN kill the live feed for good?

Or did they just jump the gun because it's not supposed to happen for another 30 minutes?

[Ichingcarpenter]

8. MSNBC now has a split screen on with the speech and still doing their news

on McCain's Clayton Problems.

[blogslut]

But I'd rather give him the feed than to CNN (which freezes my computer sometimes!)

[blogslut]

Obama's site could get overloaded.

Whoa, somebody is having trubbles with that music. The speed keeps changing

50. Now, no more sound again? I'm on high speed. This is not right!!!

[ContinentalOp]

49. Nothing is happening but I'm enjoying this DJ while I work!

I seriously never thought I'd live to see the day that a Presidential candidate actually had a decent DJ at their events!

[K Gardner]

51. Jennifer Granholm is an absolutely stunning woman !

[Ichingcarpenter]

54. Yes she is...n/t

[Barack_America]

55. Damn yous, Canada!

;)

[Ichingcarpenter]

58. She can't be a US president because she was born in Canada.

[Barack_America]

60. Precisely why I was cursing them.

I was thinking more along the lines of VP, however. ;)

[K Gardner]

63. She can't qualify for VP either, unfortunately.

[Barack_America]

71. Indeed.

To come full-circle, I was cursing Canada because their existence prevents Granholm from being Obama's VP.

I was just being silly. I'm actually quite fond of Canada.

[Ichingcarpenter]

57. She is doing a good job on talking about alternative automobiles

[Thrill]

65. She is so beautiful

[Willo]

52. The viewer count on Obama's site is rising rapidly

8833 and counting

[Ichingcarpenter]

53. Dana Milbank sucks like normal- and slamming Gore

[Hissyspit]

I've become sick of Milbank. He is so full of himself.

[slinkerwink]

62. I'm not even tuned in to what Milbank is saying. Omg, GRanholm has her shoe off!

[Hawkeye-X]

56. Any other TV showing this LIVE (MSRNC is bloviating - and I wanna hear what they have to say)

[gateley]

85. Well said -- chill producing. nt

[blogslut]

88. Yes it was

What a great moment

[Ichingcarpenter]

90. That's the ticket! Gore is now saying to respect McCain but

It doesn't mean good judgement or wisdom.

[tishaLA]

82. Al is a damn rock star!

[Hissyspit]

83. Gore brought up 2000!

"Thank you Senator for supporting me in 2000."

[Cha]

89. Obama had to crash the

Democratic Convention in 2000!

[Hissyspit]

86. Hell, I'm ready for the convention!

Guess we need a VP choice, though.

:)

[ecstatic]

87. nt

[Barack_America]

93. .

:P

I knew what you were talking about. He had to give him his props for acknowledging global warming, that's all.

[Hissyspit]

91. Gore brings up JFK!

Nixon: Experience counts. JFK: Excluding those under 44 would have excluded Jefferson writing Declaration, Washington commanding...

Gore recalls his witnessing of JFK speech.

[Ichingcarpenter]

92. And doing a damn great Job comparing JFK to OBAMA!

[Ichingcarpenter]

94. "ELECTIONS MATTER" take it from me!

[K Gardner]

95. Dayum.. Gore is ripping the Repugs a new one.. wow !

[Ichingcarpenter]

98. Even our Cats and Dogs know ELECTIONS MATTER!...... LOL N/T

[Bodhi BloodWave]

110. i think those claiming that Gore's endorsement was worthless is having to eat their words now :D

Because this is almost awe inspiring

[Hissyspit]

96. "Take it from me. Elections matter."

Supreme Court - you know elections matter.

If you live in New Orleans. You know elections matter.

If you are struggling with your mortgage. You know elections matter.

[Thrill]

97. LOL Dogs and Cats know elections matter

[shadowknows69]

99. Why is the CNN online camera guy shooting anything but Al talking?

[Roxy66]

100. WOW....He is hitting it home!!!

[Ichingcarpenter]

102. I know and this is the speech I've been waiting for!

We need a change!

[GreenEyedLefty]

103. Out of the park!

I can feel the electricity from here... just north and west of Detroit. :)

[Hissyspit]

104. This thread could use some recommendations, folks.

[Ichingcarpenter]

106. Thanks for recommending... Gore is hitting it out of the park

[jenmito]

107. Done!

:hi:

[GreenEyedLefty]

109. Done!

[fight4my3sons]

113. done!

[Jazzgirl]

105. Chanting 'we need change'!

We damn sure do!!! Go Al!!!!!!!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Hissyspit]

108. "Many people were waiting for some sign that our nation was awakening..."

"Millions of young people getting involved" might be a sign.

[Ichingcarpenter]

112. Gore is just ......... unfricking believable

GREAT SPEECH!

[Raster]

121. My God, Al Gore was wonderful! Contrast to whom we actually elected...

to whom we got stuck with. 82% of this country believes we are on the wrong track. We could have had President Gore.

[SeattleGirl]

111. Al sounds so great!!!

I hope to hell Obama has a place for him!

[Ichingcarpenter]

117. Shit now Abrams is talking over OBAMA

STFU.... DANNY.

[foo_bar]

130. CNN cut him off too (with Larry King), fuck em

There's a live feed on cnn.com, but it's insulting the way both (all?) networks cut off the audio of the man Gore introduced as the next President (but left the video up in MSNBC's case so you can "see" Obama talking between commercial breaks).

[Hissyspit]

114. GORE: "We have such a nominee. Yes we can. Ladies and gentleman, the next President of the United

States. Barack Obama."

[Rosa Luxemburg]

120. I wish Al would do the VP 08

[psychopomp]

115. Notice the new slogan under the rostrum

and on the sign in the background: "Change that works for you."

I guess this is in response to the McCain copying of "Change we can believe in." (McCain' site says "A leader we can believe in" :puke: )

[Ichingcarpenter]

119. INTERESTING ....... I like it!

[Tatiana]

116. I love Al Gore!

:cry:

[ellisonz]

118. I think we need an Obama/Gore tour.

[Ichingcarpenter]

124. Yep, I expect Gore now will go on TV and talk to the talking heads

He can handle any of those bastards.

[Hissyspit]

122. "Just in case there's maybe one person who isn't registered yet, who hasn't volunteered yet...

maybe you just came out of curiosity - we need you starting tonight. We need you to volunteer. We need you to make phone calls. This is a grass roots effort."

[Ichingcarpenter]

127. Great Idea! n/t

[gateley]

123. How many people in attendance? nt

[Hissyspit]

125. "I want to thank most of all Al Gore. Everything he is doing to make sure we leave a planet that is

better for our children."

[Hissyspit]

126. "Eight years ago after the debacle in Florida, Al could have retired..."

But the arc of his career took a new path.

First congressional hearing ever on greenhouse gas emissions.

[Hissyspit]

128. "I'm running because of what Dr. King called the 'fierce urgency of now.'"

[Ichingcarpenter]

131. McCain is running on the "Fierce mediocracy of yesterday."

Damn the Cabal Networks...... they are not covering shit

[DerekJ]

129. "Quite Desperation" is the New Bitter :)

[Hissyspit]

132. "Of course no one told me the primary was gonna last 15 months."

[genna]

133. Gore makes me think of what might have been and what was taken from all us Americans

Yes we can and by God's grace we WILL.

[Ichingcarpenter]

136. The Family Guy episode where we had flying cars and free energy

in Peter's alternative future.




Obama now is give Clinton Mass cudos. BTW.

[TheDonkey]

134. Obama said he'll fully seat MI

[DerekJ]

135. Man!! you're fast.

[TheDonkey]

[TheDonkey]
