CNN

It started out hard for the democrat following Hillary Clinton, despite their being the key note speaker. Warner did not deliver.

NO WAY- NO HOW-NOBAMA PERIOD!

I love his approach to future technology. A man of the future.
2016 for sure!

LeftNut : you're delusional. This speech sent the Obama Ship off to sea to steer it's own course. When they sink no one will blame the cast off.

Save the "Next Democrat" CNN for your own delusions.

Clinton isn't going to step aside, again.

Republican strategist Alex somebody criticizes successful Democratic governor because.......well, something about being successful that bugs Republicans.

Notice how many SUCCESSFUL DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS spoke tonight. Imagine that kind of leadership in the White House.

"Monica August 26th, 2008 10:45 pm ET

So the "next Democrat" is going to bore us to death…"

Goodling or Crowley? I can't decide.

To all those who say that Mark Warner's speech was great–did you actually watch it? It was BORING. As a native Virginian, I was quite disappointed.

Hillary is the best and the woman who should be president!

But, it is not Hillary's job to unify the party!

That is Obama's job! He could have unified the party but he chose not to. He has very poor judgment!

And, Barack chose Biden's to be the attack dog/VP not Hillary!

Unfortunately, Obama's arrogance and belief in his own infallibility have undermined his party and his future! Barack, the user, will lose!

Today, he was out on the stump obfuscating, prevaricating and bluffing! He doesn't get it, and he doesn't have a clue!

The democrats blew it big time this election!

This former democrat will vote for McCain 08! Country comes before party and John McCain is a moderate in touch with mainstream America!

Former VA Gov. Mark who?

And the dumb democrats moved this gut out of prime time?

Roy, The fact that policies worked in the past doesn't mean they are meant for the present or the future. We are no longer in the industrial age. The industrial age was extremely inefficient with resources, but it did bring innovation. The new policies, which I think Obama is understanding, is that innovation should become more efficient. So conserve resources at no cost to innovation, probably even a boon to it.

Warner is good. Clinton is great! I want to see her in office. She has convinced me not to vote for McCain. Obama will need to convince me to vote for him. The ball is in your court Obama...though I am from VA...pretend I am from the show me state.

REPUBLICAN FOR O'BIDEN

"NO WAY! NO HOW!! NO MCSAME, N SANE MCCAIN!!!"

Please don't compare Warner's speech to the one Obama gave in 04 as the "next democrat".

Warner was OK, not the breath-taking, spell-binding, soaring speech Obama gave 4 years ago.

All I heard is Hillary campaigning for herself. No talk about Obama value, toughness, nothing. If Obama lost you can bet the other 18,000,000 cracks who vote for him in the primary will not say anything but will not vote for her.

Thank you Hillary. You did what you NEEDED to do to regain my respect.

Warner is too moderate and pro-gun for the liberal left to ever look @ for President.

I bet Elmer Fudd I mean John McCain's blood pressure went so high after hearing Hillary tonight until he's on bed rest. But wait, the best is yet to come. Let McCain keep running them "silly" little ads that he's using as a front instead of doing some serious homework like trying to memorize what he needs to talk about or has he forgotten already.

Mark Warner is a republicans nightmare.

He would not only win Virginia in a presidential election, but West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Arkansas. He is a Southern Governor who will be president someday soon. Southern Governor who is president......sound familiar

Warner gave a great speech, from the parts I caught on c-span, I've got to watch the whole thing online, Making the Band 4 was on! lol, that's bad.

To Sandy – get used to the PUMA movement thanks to disrespect by you and the rest of Obama supporters. However, Hillary took care of business and slowed the PUMA movement.

no – HIllary stole the show and she is our true nominee!!

Warner 2016? (Obama will be President, and said that he would run for 2nd term). I don't know about that...

Obama not picking Hillary will be the reason he will lose. He chose Biden...who never won a state primary in running for President...35 years in the Senate and no achievements...

Hillary 2012!!! Obama will lose and will be the next Edwards/Kerry!!! An afterthought.

The Dems lose again.

A Dem Shame!!!

Hillary, or McCain 08!

No way, no how, no McCain! Tennessee went to Hillary – let's get behind Obama and pay back the debt as we failed to deliver for our native son Gore in 2000 !. And Virginia, our neighbor, Warner was great – Obama needs Virginia to be behind him.

I will never vote for someone who would not choose Hillary as VP when she was chosen PRESIDENT by the voters...

The DNC elite chose Obama...the voters chose Hillary.

Hillary, or McCain '08...FOR DEMOCRACY!!!

Hillary is the most presidential – MUCH more so than Obama or McCain.

Democrats made the WRONG choice.

WARNER WILL BE THE NEXT DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT

We are the UNITED Democrats of America!

Lets go kick some Republican Arse!!!!!

you are past and present of the GOP you !

why do you close the comments on hillary's speech after 27 comments and leave this open beyond 29? there cannot be enough good things said about hillary's great appearance tonight. cnn you are the worst.

No, let Obama be the "next Democrat", so we can have Hillary NOW !!!!!

PUMAs Unite – Vote McCAIN in 2008 – So we can vote HILLARY in 2012 !!!!!

Powerful??? God, he was mediocure at best. Don't trump up these politicians to make them seem better than everyone else. They are not!!

4 more months to go, I stand with you.

No way, No How, No McCain.

If you really love this country you will stand the DEMS and not vote McCain.

Hillary was in this for all of us not just herself.

I would like to hear any "intelligent" democrat say,

"I worked hard for Hillary, and thank her for her effort, but my loyalty lies with the Democratic party."

Wait, and please wait!

Is the Democratic party about the Clintons (i.e., Hillary) or the Democratic Party?

Why did the Clintons not dominate the Gore and Kerry nomination processes? Gore was Bill's VP for 8 years…

America has, and continues to take advantage of the Black Man!! Americans may be blind to this fact, but the WORLD that is watching America is NOT blind! A Black Man fought hard and won, plain and simple!!!!

McCain – Not a Maverick = a Sidekick! tooo, tooo good. Look folks, prudent stewardship of government is about getting the budget you need and managing the resources the best you can. Republicans have failed in almost 20 of the last 30 years, yet you still here them calling us tax and spend liberals. well, thank you, governor, I'll take prudent and fair fiscal management over rhetoric anyday...

I am sorry but his speech sucked it was so very dry and boring!

I thought the man from Montana was VERY GOOD, much better than this man and the crowd was very much into it.

Warner gave a HORRIBLE speech and no where near what Obama did in 2000. Hillary has given the best speech of the convention so far and if Obama goes on to lose she HAS to be considered whole heartedly in 2012. Sorry to say but I don't think Biden's speech will even be as good.

I thought Deval Patrick's speech was better than Warner's. Patrick spoke about the future but he also spoke about ways to achieve that future. (Early childhood education, better healthcare system, alternative energy development, etc.) In addition Patrick spelled out some of the issues created by the Republican policies such as the soaring federal deficit, the lack of educational funding to achieve the goals of NCLB, the lack of healthcare coverage among so many Americans, and the lack of a commitment to the environment and alternative energy development. Warner spoke about his success in Virginia but he did not tie in the current economic malaise to the current administration nor did he define the fundamental differences the two parties have in their approach to the issues facing our Nation.

BORING!!! And on a shallow note....what fake teeth you have....

I am so very proud of Hillary. We love you Hillary. There is still time for you to be the one. I have great respect for Hillary.

DEMOCRATS IN 08!

After 8 years of Obama/Biden, Warner 2016. You heard it here first.

I guess CNN censors don't want to post anything that points out the hypocrisy of Obama's message.

warner sucked. you consistently have no idea what you are talking about.

I don't understand the knock against "old industrial age policies." The FACT is that Warner and the Virginia legislature turned a deficit into a surplus and have transformed Virginia into both a prosperous state and high-tech haven. If old policies work, then that's great. One has to be a narrow-minded ideologue to criticize such broad success just because it happened to come from policies on the other side of the aisle.

Hillary asked those that supported her to vote for something bigger then just her or themselves. To vote for what she stood for and continues to stand for, not just an image of her in office. To bring this country back to it's glory with president Obama and the Democratic family, which obviously includes a big role for her.

Can her supporters be strong enough to do that? I respect her for all she's done and what she's said tonight. I only hope those people, that truly are democrats, can be strong enough for all of us, the way she has been.

Hey, this guy's good, too bad you couldn't put him up against McCain, he'd give him a run for his (allright...your's, mine, Cindy's, etc.) money.

Hillary forgot to take back the part about Barack not being fit to lead in her speech tonight,,,that's a big OOPS. The rest of her speech is very lackluster so far.

Hers is an impossible task because it's so difficult to meet the tremendous expectations that are placed by so many different people on her and her supporters.

Day 1 of the DNC saw McCain break into the lead in the Gallup Poll.
Day 2 will see that lead widen based on what I've seen tonight.

Bad days ahead for the Democratic Party.

So Castellanos, you don't want taxes raised, what do you want McCain to cut to balance the budget? Or do you just want to keep borrowing and say "What me worry?"

No McCain and No Bama, and it's too bad that we don't have another choice!

I was thinking the same thing; he was really terrific.

"fear...raising taxes...he said-she said...blah-blah-blah..."

Virginia is a great example where the Republican talking points just don't fly.

Mark Warner was a young technology and science-friendly leader, with little political experience. He had big ideas, he was willing to ask more from his people than past leaders...and he worked across the aisle to get things done. He made his state a huge success story. Mark Warner is PROOF the future will be better with a leader like him.

Barack Obama is like Mark Warner. John McCain is like George W. Bush.

No WAY!

NO HOW!

NO MCCAIN!!!!

Thanks Sandy, create more votes for McCain, nice job!

You know what, I'm sitting here thinking, now that we know a woman can make it that far, can actually do it... it won't matter what happens with Obama in the general, If Hillary runs in 2012, she'll win.

Our next president is a guy who has a "third times the charm!" attitude?

Jesus– how screwed are we?

Warner skyrocketed our taxes here in VA, why are you people idolizing him? Just another politician who jacked up our taxes and is taking our hard earned money. What is the point of getting a raise or bonus if the government just keeps taking more and more. ENOUGH!

The next Barack Obama will be either Hillary or WArner

"Industrial Age" policies like paying as we go, instead of shafting our children.

The Republicans had their turn. They failed.

We got next.

WHEN are the media and the republicans going to realize that it is NOT the messenger (Obama) but the MESSAGE – CHANGE ! CHANGE ! CHANGE !!!

Many Americans can not take another four years of a lousy economy, stagnant wages, and skyrocketing fuel, health care, and grocery costs. And President McCain promises another four years of the same.

NO WAY!!! NO HOW!!! NO McSAME!!!

HILARY VOTERS FOR OBAMA 08!!!

Oh Yea and Warner was cool too!!

A brillant keynote address.

No Way

No How

NO MCCAIN ! ! ! !

Warner's speech was great, it highlighted all the new challenges facing America as well as Obama's main weakness, his inexperiance. Because I care so much for my country, even enlisting in the Air Force to protect my country that I feel it is my duty to write in Hillary. I will not throw away my security over "party unity."

Put those PUMAs in their place, Hillary

Thank you Hillary, I feel like you are one of us. Thank you again.
Obama/Biden 08

So the "next Democrat" is going to bore us to death...

Castellanos...put your blog on FoxNews.....no one wants to hear it tonight.

I think that Schweitzer showed himself as the next leader for the Democratic party. What an amazing presence. All I could think while he was speaking was, "this is just like Obama in '04."

IF Obama looses Hillary will NEVER be President because she'll get all the blame.

GUARANTEED!

Sorry but the first time I was impressed all night was just now watching Hillary video she had made, nice job! Did I just say that out loud?

Mark Warner for president in 2012?

You never know what will happen in 2012 should Obama not win in November.

Will Obama supporters vote for Hillary should she run again?
maybe. maybe not.

Look. It's really simple. It's about TAX FAIRNESS. How is it fair for someone who can barely keep body and soul together to pay more taxes as a percentage than a multi-millionaire?

THAT'S what Senator Obama is fighting for: TAX FAIRNESS!

GO BAMA!

Looks like Bill Clinton was right about Obama's Iraq "saga" being a fairy tale. Not a word about at the end of Night #2 of the Great Gathering of Egos.

We continue to find a way...
