*********----+++ MARK WARNER SPEECH THREAD +++----*********

[bidenista]

Seems good so far.

[bidenista]

1. KICK. nt

[medeak]

2. why was he saying dems wouldn't like speech?

or at least the pundits were saying that...

[CTD]

3. You can't be watching the same speech. This is awful.

Really really bad.

Why does ANYONE care about him becoming a millionaire selling cell phones? Lame approach. Weak content. And truly awful delivery.

How was he considered a potential POTUS candidate?

[mzmolly]

8. Indeed, you're watching

a different speech.

Not sure what you mean by him being considered for the POTUS? He did not run.

[Alexander]

9. Now he's talking issues and bashing Bush.

Remember, most of the country has never heard of these people and the first time anyone knows about them is the time they speak at the convention.

Hence they have to introduce themselves.

[CTD]

11. It's getting somewhat better, at least content wise.

His delivery is still weak.

[JerseygirlCT]

25. I have to agree. I'm sorry - that was dull.

No energy there. Too careful.

[NEM]

29. Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!

36. Even Rachel Maddow agrees with me. AWFUL speech.

AWFUL

[mzmolly]

4. He's doing a nice job.

:D

[my2sense]

5. Excellent point about getting off of foreign oil after 9/11 n/t

[cinci_democrat]

12. I agree - great point!

Good speech...slow start but..."we will actually have an administration that believes in science"
Great!

7. Seems OK to me.

As phone salesmen go. :shrug:

[Madam Mossfern]

13. I'm not impressed

I expected a little more passion.

[MissDeeds]

21. Me too

I really like him, but I expected more. Even the audience seems bored. This is his moment to shine, but it isn't happening. Yikes!

[sfam]

10. Warner, my future Senator, is rockin this joint!!!

I love'em!!!

[ramapo]

14. He just nailed it

Election about the future not the past

[speedoo]

15. I like him. It's a good speech.

He's coming at it from a different angle. I like how he criticized Bush for never bringing out the power of the the American people. That's a powerful criticism.

[Barack_America]

19. That was a FANTASTIC criticism.

Indeed, why not?

[medeak]

16. subjective but

he creeps me out for some reason?

[Teaser]

17. Better than I thought it would be

.

[merbex]

18. This is a piss pour Keynote address

A keynote should be inspiring and set the stage for the major addresses

Casey's was better IMO

[NEM]

31. I could not agree more.

[Teaser]

35. This isn't the real keynote address, though.

Hilary's is, when you get down to it.

[blitzen]

20. The Future vs. Past theme (i.e., McCain is an old fart) is good

[stray cat]

32. Excellent line!

[mvd]

22. "when hope replaces fear"

Very true.

[aaronbees]

28. That was a nice line

:thumbsup:

[Phoonzang]

23. Thank god that's over. Now where's Schweitzer?

:)

[Arnold Judas Rimmer]

24. He made some good points, But I really didn't care for the DLC commercial in the middle

His delivery could use some work. Not everybody can be a charismatic speaker. But a keynote speaker probably should be.

[bidenista]

30. it kinda nosedived

Shame, I think they should've given the keynote to Casey on the basis of tonight's performances.

[democrattotheend]

33. I never thought of Casey as a good speaker, but I thought he was terrific tonight

I don't know if giving the keynote would have made sense though...it might have created more drama with some of the female Hillary delegates.

[Barack_America]

26. What an interesting angle. "Keeping America Competitive"...

If there's anything that's going to appeal to Independents, that's it.

[goodgd_yall]

27. I liked what he said about jobs going overseas

If they can send jobs overseas, they can bring them to Danville (a small town in VA).

[NoodleyAppendage]

MARK WARNER is BORING! Where's the "killer" rhetoric???

As usual we have Dems like Warner preaching "love and happiness," when what WE NEED TO WIN is "blood and guts."

[PolNewf]

34. I think it was pretty good

Content was better than delivery but I've gotten a little spoiled over the last 4 years.
