Democratic National Convention – Day 3

There have been more speeches from congressman and senators that support Sen. Obama. From former Sec. Of State Madeline Albright to Majority Whip Sen. James Clyburn (repping for the palmetto state!). Tonight former president Bill Clinton gave his speech before introducing vice presidential candidate Joe Biden. He has pledged to do whatever he can to get Barack elected. He even goes as far as to say that he thinks Barack is presidential material. I honestly think that he is into Joe Biden being in the white house than Barack. He says that the choice was a “hit out of the park”. I thought he was fighting to get this wife that spot? Well I guess since that didn’t work out Joe will have to do. Overall his speech was on point, even at one point comparing what the republicans said about his him in ’92 to them saying the same things about Barack now in ’08. You know the whole inexperience thing. Which is what his wife has been screaming during her run for the nomination.
Sen. John Kerry also spoke after Clinton was done. he spoke on McCain’s downfalls. Not too much else, same old good vs evil type stuff.
This must have been military night because between the main speeches were little speeches by all these military related folks. Tom Hanks narrated a piece about war w/ interviews and monologues from war vets.
Speaker of The House Nancy Pelosi came out to give the official nomination for vice president to Joe Biden as a traditional ceremonial thing. He of course accepts and delivers his acceptance speech. He was introduced by a lovely emotional speech given by his son. The first thing he does is give props to Hilary. Why? I have no idea. his speech was about the economy and how families are struggling just to make ends meet let alone trying to save for retirement or to send kids to college. After his speech and before the ending benediction we were treated to a surprise. Senator Obama came out to talk about how proud and excited he is to have Joe Biden on his team. He goes on to thank his wife for her opening speech the other day, President Clinton for his speech and his supporters. The convention will be moving to Mile High stadium (home of the Denver Broncos) for the 4th and final night of the convention. Thus ending another night at the convention.
