Biden's talk was very good, very real and he connects to the typical american. I note you and other conservative pundits all seem to downplay the impact of the speeches in contradiction to the actual impact -- obviously you're laying the spin for those who didn't watch, who may just read your criticism and take your word. A shame if they do. Tonight I finally tuned into the convention and was glad I did. Biden's talk was very good, very real and he connects to the typical american.

Biden had to follow Bill. I mean, few can top Bill, really. Lets see how McCain does, my friends. creepy smile, gribbit.. blinks eyes with blank toad like gaze.. and waxy looking face... as he lies.

But this is missing the point. The job of the vice president isn't to give speeches. It's to know what's going on in the world and provide the president with backup -- and Joe is one of the most knowledgeable guys around. And the job is to provide strength in areas where the president is weak, not just in strength but in personality.

I really wish that all the democrats who want a change will boycott the Republican National Convention. Don't watch TV, listen to the radio or even read the paper during this time. As democrats lets come together and make a stand. One of the greatest impacts would be to simply not partake in John McCain's rhetoric. He's too old, and too old school.

He's much more fiery when he's on the top of his head. LIke in the debates. BRING IT REPUBS. While I don't agree, I DO agree Biden is best when he doesn't have prepared remarks.

Moreover I do think Obama is the right and rational ticket for that very election. I respect McCain but I think, he is more concerned by HIS War to "invisible" terrorists than americans lives.

He doesn't speak for the American public. We liked it Toobin. Biden is down to earth and fights for the American people. I'm getting a little sick of the CNN commentators. Most were pretty civil tonight but the other nights that were just a mess. Everything that was positive, they would somehow turn it around and spin it negative like Fox news does. I'm beginning to wonder what has happened to CNN. I guess Fox news is rubbing off on them. Who cares what Toobin says? He doesn't speak for the American public. We liked it Toobin.

Biden gave an extremely inspirational speech that you are probably not used to since Bush has not ever been inspirational. Last time I checked there aren't any of McCain's kids or Bush's kids going to Iraq. Why don't you try being respectful to a man that is a true patriot and actually has his son going to your war. Hope you enjoy the next 8 years, because Obama is gonna straighten Bush's faults out. Toobin,
