CNN

Good i hope he lets the world know that McCain will restart the Clod War or better yet WW3.

Of course, he'll give a speech after his wife's. He's a showboater. BTW, if I were Hillary, I wouldn't believe any promise of a job offer before the election. One thing we do know about Obama is how often he "refines" his stance.

Just reading some of these comments makes me wonder how people can actually look at themselves in the mirror. The prejudices of some are just a little to much to take. This world isn't going to last forever and you will be judge at the end of your life. You better take a good long look at yourselves and wonder where will you spend eternity. This country has suffer enough with a person who doesn't care about what he says or what he does. If you want to continue to suffer then feel free to vote for McCain. You better believe if Hillary would have won the election I wouldn't think twice about not voting for her. A vote for McCain is just going to make me and my family suffer a while longer.

CNN, keep manufacturing news to sell airtime. This is getting really old. I bet you, you next ticker item will have Hillary in it.

This event was billed as a way the average voter could be a part of Obama's nomination. It will be interesting to see if a stadium full of celebrities is what Obama presents as average voters. The culture of corruption in full view, live on TV..

He "changed" his mind on NAFTA. He "changed" his mind on FISA. He "changed" his mind on offshore drilling. He keeps "change"-ing all the time.

This is "change" you CAN believe in....

"Oh, how do I love me...... let me count the ways.."

Obama will go down in history as being one of the greats.......He showed his wisdom when he selected Biden for VP. He surrounds himself with people who will put him in a position to really affect change in Washington.

I just took the CNN poll on how much of the DNC Convention are you going to watch. The results are disturbing. How can anyone make a educated choice in a candidate if they (by choice) choose not to watch any of the Convention? Unlike the 56% of those uneducated by choice, who are not going to watch the DNC Convention, I will be watching both the Democrat AND the Republican Convention. I cannot afford not to.

OBAMA 100%,

all obama, all the time. Thats the democrat theme this year.

we dont care about hillarys debt (the clintons will write a book and make millions), we just want to make sure that Obama loses.

Obama is a good person and will make a great President.

The GOP is trying to paint him as this horrilbe monster by making false accusations and trying to tie him to anyone they can. This is what they have done in 200 and 2004 and look at the damage that was done by election Bush twice.

Don't believe the GOP lies if you want America to get back on track and restore it's reputation that the Bush/Cheney administration has greatly damaged.

Obama in 08!

He just can't wait until Thursday to hear himself talk. He loves to give a speech and take in the adulation of the crowd. He has said so on several occasions. That is what he is all about, soaking up the glory with nothing to offer in return. Wonder how he will react when a chorus of boos will dampen the cheers?

I can honestly say that in all the years I have been a registered voter, I have never been so dissapointed by the choice put forward as I have been in Obama.

I am sickened by the video out today showing a Hillary supporter being verbally abused by a delegate in the name of supporting Obama. Are we not in America? Are we not allowed to express our views and stand on the street with a sign supporting our choice?
Isnt that what this great Country is about?

Hillary supporters have been treated like a herd of cattle that should all be rounded up and put into Obama's camp. We should just go quietly and calmly, just follow the line. I dont think so. I live in America, land of the free, home of the brave. This Country is all about the freedom of supporting who you believe to be the best candidate. The fact that these basic principals are already being treaded upon in the name of Obama goes a long way as to why I will vote across party in this election.

Who Cares!...I will only watch the Kennedy part of Monday night in hope of seeing memories of John and Robert...I will watch Hillary on Tuesday night in hopes of seeing a great speech by a great AMERICAN woman. I will also watch President William J Clinton on wednesday night. Here is a true American who was trashed by the Chicago Obama maniacs. Bill Clinton has BEATEN the Republicans twice....How dare anybody in the Obama camp not give him a STARRING role.....Obama is all about himself...I am not an old white haired woman...I am not a racist !!!!! I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA ... He destroyed the DEMOCRATIC party .......The DNC knows now that the ticket should have been Hillary Clinton/ Barack Obama Obama has done nothing for any part of Illinois except forget about us.

Will Obama disregard Kennedy's sleazy past -while expounding on the failure of McCain's 1st marriage? Dems are such low-life politicians! Suddenly, Ted Kennedy is a patron saint? I guess Obama supporters are too young to know his backgroung of dirty politics.

Obama is the real deal and a change we can belive in!

Yep – remind them whose convention this is.

THE SO CALLED HILLARY SUPPORTERS ARE ONLY MAKING A LOT OF NOISE AND YET, THEY ARE DOING NOTHING TO RETIRE HER DEBT.

I love it CNN when you put ROLAND MARTIN AND JAMAL along with OBRIEN it makes me know I am making the right choice to vote for McCain.

Sorry for Kennedy's illiness – but no thanks for giving us Obama Mr. Kennedy. You should have backed Hillary. Same goes for the dem. party. You will all be sorry if Obama gets in. We will be wishing we had Bush back and I never thought I would say that.

I bet there's far more square footage of mirror in the Obama home than in most American households. Obama seems to have just a touch of narcissism.

He managed to shake things up by ensuring he gets a bigger audience outside the convention at the stadium. Was this still not enough? All Obama is doing is reinforcing the perception by those who view him as a showboater intent on making himself a rock star rather than a dignified statesman.

I'd like to know who is paying for the additional security of this since Obama is taking it away from the already secured convention? It's been reported that the Secret Service, the FBI and the local police are responsible for this over glorified event at the stadium does that mean it's coming out of the taxpayer's money and not the DNC? CNN please look into this and report on it!

Go Obama and Dems!

Too bad the Republicans and their stupid voters have nothing nice to say about McSame!!! I know... it hurts doesn't it?

Obama/Biden!

I wish I was in Denver so I could go to the big show at the stadium. Maybe not as big as the opening ceremonies in Beijing but pretty big.

He can give all the speeches he wants to. I will not be watching . When Hillary Clinton was shafted by the democrat leadership in cohots with Obama i quite listening. I am voting for change and hope. I am voting for John McCain.

If Obama expects to win the support of Clinton backers, he needs to speak directly to them in his speech. In fact, I would like to see him give her something that is near and dear to her heart: health care. If he puts her in charge of health care or extends some other olive branch, I could vote for him.

Of course his comments will be brief. He has nothing to say. He is now trying to figure out why he is tied with McCain. Guess he has a lot of work to do. No matter there are a lot of voters like me who supported Hillary who is way smarter than him. He listened too closely to Caroline and Ted Kennedy now it will cost him the election.

I can't bring myself to get past the thought of having a President with a middle Eastern name representing America. Are the American people not aware that we are at war in the Middle East and that the 911 terrorists were Middle Eastern? Wasn't Barrack Obama's real name changed from an American name to a muslim name? Why would he shed his birth name for a name that is so offensive?

Socialism would wreck our medical community. You think your emergency room wait is long NOW??? Everything should be private: schools, health care, keep the government from controlling EVERYTHING.

He cannot miss an opportunity to talk and be seen.......and he will need to clean up after her becuase she's sure to say something crazy.

I wonder what their plan B is if it rains or a tornado decides to cross paths with the stadium? Again, Obama overplayed his hands. Bigger is not always better! But I wouldn't want him to take this advice. Please, keep up with the extravagance and over staged concert theme. Its working out so well for Obama so far

The only statement in you narrativge that has any weight is"His remarks will be brief". They can not be long because he really has nothiing to say right now because the DNC is going to keep editing his speech until he looses in November. I am a Hilary democrat and will vote independent this November.

I hope Michelle doesn't forget to mention that for the first time she's proud of America.

As of today, BILL CLINTON IS STILL WHINNING! I hope Senator Obama will resend the Invitation to the Clinton's – to speak at the Convention. The Clinton's are still trying to divide the Party. I personally will NEVER vote for a Clinton for anything. They have shown TOTAL IMMATURIY, during this process.

TRULLY UNBELIEVABLE!

It's going to be a good convention.
I can't wait.

Already people are tired of Obama and his grand standing. This will backfire on him as well. Most Americans have said they are tired of hearing him......most are aware this his promises are empty and meaningless. Wait until this week is over his poll numbers will continue to drop like a rock!

Obama is a Hollywood fake and most Americans are coming to know that.

This outstanding Mrs Michelle Obama will address Democratic National Convention. This is her time to make history. It's time for change, look what 8 years of Bush has done to America don't have to a Democrat to want change. Go Obama

i really am looking forward to hearing michele speak.
She is beautiful and articulate. I will be proud to have her as the First Lady.

She is a true patriot. She cares about our troops and their well-being.

I think this is a great move by him.

What a travesty this election will be. This is a good example of picking the least qualified person for the job! This is a job interview folks, not just a popularity contest.

Gee, one night at Invesco Field isn't enough for this guy's ego, I guess. So we get stuck with him a second time. And his darling wife, too? I wonder if she'll wear something other than that horrible purple dress she seems to wear EVERYWHERE.

Vote independent!!!

My observation is that Hillary Clinton supporters are using Obama's dissing of Clinton as a way of hiding their racists but because this such a political subject, its not being reported.

as a community organizer.. How is that community doing? I mean, is there any way we can ask what has the One done ?

I have this unshakeable sinking feeling that hope may be lost for us Dems come Nov. There is just too much in-fighting. This nonsense between Hillary backers and the rest is going to ruin the Dem chances. Its unfortunate too. She's a great leader and if she were the nominee I would have voted for her whole heartedly but it wasn't to be. Unfortunately there are too many that just can't seem to get past this and would rather vote against their own ideals than suck it up and vote for Barack. And I'm not pointing fingers and saying its all the Clinton's fault either. Too bad too because my gut tells me that if BO's supporters (don't forget there were just as many of them as HRC supporters) and the DNC feel in any way that she played a part in us losing in Nov. her political career will be over. And unfortunately private citizens don't get to be president, at least not as the system works now. Love it or hate it, thats just the way she goes.

To much hot air for an indoor venue!!!

A vote for Obama is a vote for socialism. If elected he'll make W look like a great president.

It will be "crow's night out" for the Clintons.......they can have their cake.....but they will not enjoy eating it....VIctory is so sweet for Obama-Biden.

I can't wait for everything to get started there. I will be watching all the coverage minute by minute.

Wonderful. It's nice to see him give remarks at the end of every theme of the evening.

The RNC can only dream of attracting crowds like this.

how does addressing people monday night make him a showboat.
dn't believe MC Cain's jealous smears, he is a pathetic old guy who doesn't deserve to be president just because he was a soldier. we need a leader not a follower.

Hope it rains Thursday. Obama sure knows how to waste money. Why does he need to move his nomination speech ouside. Right so he can be shown with a larger crowd. He had a big crownd in Germany but it did not increase his polls! Rain – Rain – Rain

Yes, we can!

Obama-Biden 08

Jano,

Please don't be stupid. If the republicans could fill a 75000 capacity stadium, they wouldn't hesitate.

And this isn't even the largest stadium the dems have had – JFK filled an 80000 cap stadium in LA for his nomination.

Just please don't be stupid.

Obama is a poor candidate for the Democratic party.

He has manipulated all of his supporters since the beginning of the primary.

Michelle and Obama should ask for forgiveness for not having Clinton on the ticket to bring the Democrats together.

This is a disgrace.

at least he could use a telepromter, so we don't have to hear uh, uh, uh. he makes bush look intelligient, when he isn't coached on what to say, or have his telepromter in front of him.

Obama is a good person and will make a great President.

The GOP is trying to paint him as this horrilbe monster by making false accusations and trying to tie him to anyone they can. This is what they have done in 200 and 2004 and look at the damage that was done by election Bush twice.

Don't believe the GOP lies if you want America to get back on track and restore it's reputation that the Bush/Cheney administration has greatly damaged.

Can't he text the info. to them?

I guess he figured nobody would watch, if he wasn't there.

If Hillary had run a differant type campaign, she would now be the candidate for president. She ran against an unknown black man with a funny name who made beautiful speaches. All she had to do was ignore him and not mention his name ever. She or her campaign managers decided to concentrate on Obama and instead of what she could do as president, she spent time saying what Obama could not do.
In America, we always pull for the under dog. If two teams are playing a game and neither one is our own personal favorite , we will always pull for the under dog.
Now you Hillary die hards, you are unhappy Obama did not choose her for his running mate. Just watch all the republican propaganda against Obama.THEY ARE USING HILLARY'S SPEACHES TO DEFEAT OBAMA!!!!!!!!!! How could Obama possibly use her as a running mate? It would like carrying a rattle snake in your back pocket even though it has already bitten you once

Obama made a good statement recently. He asked everyone to get to know and understand him. Please take his advice and get to know him, and more importantly get to know his policies before it's too late.

Understand what his policies will do to this economy. Understand what his foreign policy will do to our national security. Understand what he stands for before it's too late. Get to know his voting record – it represents the man.

Educate yourselves.

McCain 08

and.... why is Michele so active in this process? She is not the one who is running to be president – or is she.............?

exactly jano thats all he is a showboat he could not threat her any more disrespectful if he tried mc cain 08 not a disgruntled women a disgruntle man who understands what hillary has to do so we will do what she cant by voting mc cain any way this year its the right choise

What night is that band from Germany playing. Don't want to miss that!!!!

both Obamas just love the attention, don't they?

I do not get why Michele is so active in politics herself being far from a politician. Many people do not care to hear her, see her. She is not running for a president. She is not former political figure either. She should stay out of race. She has nothing to do with politics – only that she is married to one.

The Washington Post reported today that Michelle Obama's approval rating is actually higher than the approval rating of Hillary Clinton in the summer of 1992.

Take that, you bitter Michelle-hating Clinton-istas!

Jano 1234:...so he shouldn't appear at his own party's convention???What is your point??

Obama doesn't want anyone in the limelight but himself. Ego gone wild is an ugly thing. Will he be making appearances every night? Hahaha!!

Barack/Biden 08! Yes we will!

THE DAMAGE IS ALREADY DONE.

IT'S TOO LATE NOW !!!!!!!!

The guy just can't get enough of himself.

Why is his wife speaking? Did I miss something?

I'll never vote for McCain.

I love Barack Obama and Joe Biden. They are awesome!!

They will turn this country around and make it better than it's ever been.

Obama/Biden !!!

God bless Obama/Biden.

Jano123

Now what a dumb comment to make. You haters make me sick. You can't stand the fact that Obama attracts thousands of people and everybody loves him and for that you all want to call him a showboat., it's ignorance like yours that keeps the hate going, get over it.

Obama 08

......I love Showboats.......It least I know I will not fall asleep.

This will be better than "Triumph of the Will"!

First Lady Michelle!!

I won't be watching Monday night or Thursday night at all. Tuesday night for me and President Clinton's speech on Wednesday and roll call thats about all I want to see.

Obama's masters at moveon.org realize that he will need to spin whatever she has to say so that she doesn't alienate the 25% of America that still see her as a positive role mode.

Hillary will be announced as the Presumptive Secretary of State and Bill Richardson will also get a primetime role. Stay tuned.

Shut up Jano

Of course. He rock star. Show,sow,show. No HRC -NO OBAMA. We are going to teach him a lessons he never forget.

nice selection BHO. In a HUGE stadium packed with your bots you won't be able to hear all the BOO's from Hillary's supporters.

Jano1234, I fail to see how your comment is helpful, insightful, or based in fact. Obama's not the one wearing a single experience on his sleeve every time he gets a chance to flaunt it (e.g., "Hey, I'm a war hero!" "Hey, did you know that my taste in music was shaped by my POW experience?" "Hey, I know I said I was reluctant to talk about it, but I'm a POW!"

...and so on, and so on...

. . . . YES INDEED.

Obama / Biden 08.

When exactly will we start to see change Mr. Obama?

Maybe instead of the same old fancy, expensive convention, you could've gone with something more modest and better spent the money elsewhere.

You're exactly the same.

I will never vote for the Obama-Biden ticket. I will never forget how Obama, his camp, and the DNC desrespected our most qualified candidate, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Hillary, you still and will continue to have the support of all of your devoted and loyal supporters. You will win in 2012, because McCain will only be a one term president.

Who really cares if he shows.....really?????? If he didn't have the health issues this wouldn't even be news......

JANO A SHOWBOAT... HOW people do show up.

CAN'T WAIT... YES RECOGNIZE CLINTON SO SHE CAN GO SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP..................

BARACK THE VOTE PEOPLE.................

Michelle will give a great speech. The Hillary supporters, though understandably upset over he loss, need to get over this now! It has been more than 2 months. Some, not all of them are having this temper tantrum for a longer period than my 4 year old granddaughter. Please, move on, or you will be in Hell for the next 4 years!

By honoring his maxist wife and not selecting Hillary, the winner of the popular vote, Obama has demonstrated that he lacks judgement and that he will be listening to his Wife over the American people.

NO THANKS!

McCain 08

who cares go mccian- ex hillary supporter

....of course he will. He is a showboat!!!!!

Awesome!! I hope he will welcome the Hilary Camp/delegates whole heartedly. We need to recognize this was a hard fought race and reach across the aisle and unify the party.
