Barack Obama's Speech at the Convention
 

Am I the only one who thinks that this had to be one of the most amazing speeches ever given? This man has it down on what it is to be an American. The crowd was so energized! I just wondered how many others found him someone who is probably going to be around in the Democratic party for a long time... :thumbsup:

Missed it...
 

but I appreciated Ron Reagan's speech, Considering the touchy subject of stem cell research. (He even mentioned how it could cure lymphoma, Which is what my wife is still suffering from).

I would have payed more attention earlier, But the Oklahoma primary results are coming in. Gonna be great to see Democrat Carson going against Republican Coburn for the US Senate.

I like Carson, His ad stating how those in Washington DC care little about Oklahoma and that neither party has the mutual license to lie was the best political ad I have seen this year...Period!

Even though...
 

I am not a "Franken-Kerry" backer, I have to say his wife should be the One running for President...I'd vote her after the speech she gave (Time to turn the mute button back on.)

There were so many great speeches given tonight from Barack, Ron, and especially Teresa. She is an amazing woman with her own opinions. She is just extremely wise and enchanting. I hope she takes a very active role when John is elected. I would fully support a Teresa for President movement. That would be great! Again, I love her as much as I do Hillary -- and that is a hard status to obtain. I mean, so far it only belongs to Hillary, Stevie, and now Teresa. :D

Not a Hillary fan...
 

but I betcha Teresa would & could kick her ass back to Ark-i-saw in a fair fight :lol:

Oh yes. Obama is an up and coming star in the party. He was right on the money with his speech tonight. He will go far. Best of all, he is running unopposed. :thumbsup:

I loved the way she greeted the crowd-in five different languages! Unfortunately for us, she was born in Mozambique, so she can't run for president. Her charitable foundation gives tons of money to left wing causes. She also is on the board of the Brookings Institution. What a woman! :)

Another up and coming...
 

Democrat is Brad Carson, Who is also running for US Senate against Republican Tom Coburn (Who is from my hometown...Thus one of the knocks against Coburn, lol!!!).

This kid WILL be big in the coming years:

Obama and Heinz Kerry
 

great speeches!

I didn't even know they had Democrats in our region of the nation...lol. Is Oklahoma flooded with Conservatives like the Texas Panhandle? Just want to know if it changes at all across state lines...

The fact that she cannot run since she isn't a naturally-born citizen is a shame, but they'll let complete morons in office *cough*Bush*cough*, I don't get that at all.

Since the beginning John Kerry has made her a open part of his effort to win the White House. I would do the same if I had such a person to share my life with. She is stevienicks-ish to say the least. :)

Texas used to be a Dem stronghold. Lyndon Johnson was from Texas and Ann Richards was a great governor.

I have been a huge fan of Obama for months now. And after his speech tonight, I think that he can certainly be the first African-American President of the United States.

Uh...
 

Oklahoma is about 60-67% Conservative...Conservative Democrat!

It's funny how a Democratic president hasnt carried Oklahoma (A diehard Democratic state) since 1960, Which is the last year a Democratic candidate (JFK) appeared here to rally votes for an election. (Moral of the story-"Don't campaign in OK, You have no chance of winning".)

Kerry's chances of winning OK are nearly non-existent, Kerry finished a very distant 3rd in the Oklahoma primary (Behind the winner Clark & the runner-up Edwards), He is not popular whatsoever among the Oklahoma Democrats!!

Two GREAT Democrats at that! That's why I love being a Texan, because when you get us liberal few -- you get the best.

Yeah, I don't know what happened to make everyone here Cons...
