ANDERSON, YOU SHOULD'NT HAVE READ THAT OFF YOUR BLUBERRY. NONE THT WAS TRUE IF YOU DONT MAKE 250.000 DOLLARS YOU TAXES WONT BE RAISED AT 42.000, REPUGS ARE FAST LIARS, PLEASE STAY HONEST.

WOLF, ANDERSON, CAMPHBELL, HE KICKED A FIELD GOAL. GO OBAMA&BIDEN O8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DAVID GERGEN YOU WILL MAKE ANYBODY WATCH CSPAN, JUST SO YOU DONT HAVE TO HEAR YOU PEOPLE SITTING IN NY. TONIGHT.

It's nice to see celebs involved in the Dem Convention. Who does the GOP have…Brooks and Dunn? Toby Keith? Arnold? SNORE>>>>>

What a spectacle - Obama needs the crowds, the adulation - what does that tell you about the person he is? MLK didn't need the adulation - MLK had a cause - Obama has oratory. How contrived is this nominee - very.

I'm wondering who the "surprise" guest might be??? The lineup so far, has been great! You know, I don't think the GOP(hers)…would know a 'star' if they saw one up close, or know what to say in good company…or how to be just a 'regular' American…get back down in the 'holes you've made in OUR ground!!!! We aim to reclaim the 'earth', this 'precious dirt', our forefathers claimed for U.S !!! We're taking it 'back to where it once belonged' !!!
We're gonna get there with BA-ROCK OBAMA!!! That's right, he rocks, he's gonna be OUR 'rock'…remember how David slew 'the giant'…he threw 'rocks' at him…and down he came!!! Get ready people…this ride is just getting started…and 'it might be a bumpy ride'…but just throw up your hands…and enjoy…let's fly…all the way back to 'the HOUSE"!!

Obama and the Demorcrats does it bigger and better all the time. The stadium idea is a wonderful idea. Evertything to profection. Can you imagine a White house with Obama leading the Democrats. It is going to be a force to contend with. Just watch him.. America will never be the same with Barack as President. It is breathtaking.

Thank God …Only one more week of listening to hypocrites full of themselves beseaching my vote when my vote doesn't count. Given that conventions are now a done deal prior to starting, I believe the candidates should fly the electoral college into Aspen for a weekend, ply them with booze while hustling then with their shtick and let them drop their vote in the ballot box prior to departure on Monday morning.

Just think of the dollars saved, no need for the pundits who know diddly, no need for the wall to wall coverage, we actualy get real news. But most of all Tv will resume its normal schedule.

I hope the social engineers can equal the Bushy's enthusiam 2 years into the next presidency.

I'd rather follow a "Rock Star" than think a rock would lead me!!!

You choose. For me and my family, and for the future of this great country built on the backs a American Indians, Slaves and poor whites who have more in common with us all than they'd like to admit it's Obama/Biden 08/12!!!

God bless America!!!

PLEASE DON'T CALL PEOPLE THAT DON'T SUPPORT OBAMA "OBAMA HATERS" CALL THEM "JEALOUS OBAMA HATERS".

Sara, the GOP convention is being held in St Paul. Minneapolis and St Paul are two cities, St Paul is the capital of my state Minnesota. Please show some respect for Minnesota, why are Obama supporters so short on facts. I wonder Sara, can you tell us how Obama voted on any issue, lets say FISA, or how does he vote when it comes to a woman's right to choose, show us what an intelligent person you are, or can you just chant hope and change.

The Clintons were exceptional in their support for Obama and in expressing their concern for the country.

I voted fpr Hillary and am still undecided about Obama although after the CLintons and others who have spiken at the convention I have sofened my position.

I am looking forward to Mr Obama's speach. I anticipate substance and not just change change change. For me he is on the line this evening.

Lots of bloggers seem to be quite upset over Sen. Obama's popularity and the fact that his supporters really seem to like him. It was much the same with Kennedy and his "Camelot" years. Many of you are too young to know about that and that's OK, just don't get the impression that the fervor over Obama is something new, it isn't. It just hasn't happened in a long, long time.

MD in GA…you are wrong….50 million dollars of taxpayer money is being spent on security alone…thats from all of us…not just Obama supporters. This does not count the money that local taxpayers are shelling out for services…So Obama is using taxpayer money that could be used for better things..that said..the other side will do the same…but please don't paint Obama as a saint in this matter.

Whiny, hypocritical, Republicans.

We didn't here a peep out of you lowlife's four years ago when Bush accepted the nomination on a stage that looked like a mixture of The Parthenon, the bridge of the Starship Enteprise, and the Oval Office.

More evidence that Republicans are either stupid, evil, or recovering.

Which one fits you?

WE AMERICANS CAN COME TOGETHER, IT'S BEAUTIFUL TO SEE THE GREATNESS OF OUR COUNTRY, JUST PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!! AMERICANS. GOD BLESS AMERICA GO OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

I don't understand why the democratic party agreed to this bad Vega side show?? How is it going to help the homeless and poor if Obama tries to make himself out to be MLK , so much high drama!!!! He is worry more about his place in history then the job at hand?? What is wrong with you democrat people??? Makes me sick!!! I don't care were Obama tells us his plan for the future. I think were just going to vote for a Republicans Mr. McCain! My fellow dem. have lost thier mind?? P.s By the way I see on tv half the seats our empty??

The acceptance speech from the first black nominee for president is certainly worth celebrating. The pageantry for Obahma tonight is fitting of the moment. Regardless of your political leanings American politics will cross a mile stone in Denver today and we all ought to be grateful that we are alive to see it. America is lucky to have a moment like this worth celebrating.

The Rush Limbaugh worshipers and Rovian McBush crews seem to be working overtime tonight on here - HA.

This is not a funeral to be held in a small parlor in the twin cities - this is a celebration of having a constitutional scholar, an intellect, a very thoughtful person, running to be our president.

NO MORE OAFS - we want our nation back, and that will take an intelligent leader that wants the best FOR US.

Obama/Biden '08

I'd love to know how the DNC and the Democratic party as a whole is dealing with all this support. From reading and watching CNN.com, it seems the Democrats now look like they have annihilated the GOP. Put another way, it looks like the Democrats could be the biggest party in America by a huge margin over the Republicans. But with all this support, just how will the Dems deal with all this support without losing their nerve, because it is all too easy to do that when things appear to go your way? They mustn't let it go to their heads, or they could lose in November. I will sleep soundly when Obama is being inaugerated as president next January.

Obama 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is hard to understand why this is such an issue. I still say the media outlets have every thing to do with promoting these kinds of responses and playing them over and over.

If members of the media wanted to, they could present the facts and information that encourage profitable discussion and conservations .
They have the power to shape the conversation.

Yahoo! Let's all cheer for 4 more years like the last. I want to be ignored and lied to some more. Four more years and I bet one future solution will be an option to be able to sell our houses to someone from the Middle East for a fair price. What the heck, they'll own our banks, so what's the difference? Now geez, I wonder why less and less women don't want to pro-create . Bush is leaving the White House making the future look so bright, and McCain, promises more of the same.

You folks who thing Senator Obama is spending tax payers money need to remember that he opted out of public financing. Only a fraction of the money used to have his acceptance speech at Mile High Stadium came from the DNC.

The rest came from folks like me… Donating again real soon.

Obama is having it outdoors, in a stadium, so that WE can be part of history. Instead of leaving it indoors with only the "democratic convention people", he wants for ordinary americans to be able to hear him speak on this historic day. Even if you don't support Obama, saying that he is acting like a "rockstar" is foolish. i guess you must think John F Kennedy and Martin Luther King were also acting like "rockstars" when they wanted to have EVERYONE listen to their message.

Dems, please leave this blog for republicans… we are off to witness history. I hope there will be enough space now for all your hate-filled-"celebrity" comments. America is moving on fellows and we ain't got time for these losers… . I am glad I have joy and love in my heart. Republicans, a.k.a evangelicals…release your hate….HERE! Adios

If Barack Obama wins the 2008 Presidential election he would have single-handily beat two Republicans Candidates in one year…John McCain and Ralph Nader. It’s funny how Nader always runs when the election is going to be close 2000 Bush vs. Gore, 2004 Bush vs. Kerry with the Republican winning by the slimmest margin on votes taken away from the Democratic candidate by Nader. I don’t want to see the candidates tax records, I want to see Nader’s voting records…

I live in a small town where the people are so stupid. They complain all day that Obama is going to raise there taxes and not even one of them even makes enough to pay taxes. Only in America!

You guys can mock Obama's enthusiastic support all the way into wilderness where you're party and it's train-wreck management of the economy and foreign policy is headed. Claiming lots of enthusiastic support is a liability may work in the beltway where McSame exists, but the problem is, on election day all the mocking in the world won't keep those people away.

John McCain is 95% percent Bush, that's all you need to know. If you are so deluded and stupid that you believe our country is in great shape, that nothing is wrong with the economy, or our health care system, or an expensive unjustified war, then go jump off the cliff after McCain. It is you foolish people that are the sheep. We democrats want our country back after 8 years of Bush wrecking it. This is our time. Obama/Biden '08!

People are hungry for change and a new direction for our great country that the Bush.s Administration brought to the ground. People want to feel hope again not fear and This country want to be look upon to be a powerful one and a fair country for all Americans and the only man that can deliver this kind of change for all Americans is Obama!!!!! Fact that Obama can bring people together from all walks of life proves that!!!!!

Mr. Obama is going to put on a show. And he says he not a celebrity! I will not watch his "performance" - not worth listening to.

Have you seen the stage? Looks like a Greek Temple. This is taking on a guise of a Joseph Goebbels' Nuremburg Party Rally from 1936. Maybe you all are wrong about what the H. in Barack's middle name really stands for…

Maybe we should all just sit close to our TV sets and mindlessly chant "Yes We Can" and marvel at the awe and splendor of the Obamadonis

Are people so miserable that they begrudge a major political party moving their candidate's acceptance speech to a facility that allows the public to also attend along with the delegates. Are you so beaten down by life you begrudge a political convention? Or are you the McCain type of grumpy old men who stand on your front porch yelling at your neighbors. Lighten up. Geesh.

People are funny! Are you really complaining because the Obama camp is giving regular people access to see Obama's speech live? Really? That's obscene??? Sounds like someone who is trying to reach as many people as possible and isn't that what this election is about?

Fired up, ready to go!!!!!!

All you hater need to wake up.. GARY I bet you are still just making ends meet right now…do you have a mortgage? Are your going from paycheck to paycheck to make it? Well my friend…if you like the way you are living now you take your smug MCCAIN vote and suffer with the rest who vote on COLOR and not what's REAL…this country's reputation has been shameful the past 8 years..we all know MCCAIN can do the same things BUSH has done and guess what HE HAS SAID HE WILL…the rest of US are voting for CHANGE….SUCKER!!!!

PRESIDENT OBAMA…get use to it people

This is a historic moment for our country, folks….I'm sick of all the racists who post here with their only goal being to degrade Senator Obama. Get over yourselves…..this country will progress whether you like it or not!

Thank heavens we finally have a WISE LEADERS with IMPECCABLE JUDGEMENT and a CARING HEARTS to lift our country out of the mess we've been in the last eight years!!!!!!

Go Barack & Joe!!!!!!!!!!

I wish that CNN would do their job and inform their viewers that the facade at the stadium is not designed to look Greek but is a mock of the Lincoln Memorial! Stop repeating the ignorant comments of the right and report the facts!!!

Jack, according to McCain the economy is doing fine, his campaign released a statement that essentially all Americans have medical services available to them so they don't need any program, and no one is going hungry because McCain hasn't seen hunger therefore it doesn't exist. So don't vote for Obama if the Democrat convention bugs you so much. The Republicans don't even have money to pay for their convention (about $10 million short) and according to them all is well in the world so you have nothing to complain about.

Only in America people do have time to have intense discussions about non-issues like these. I think the press should be more serious about issues to raise and questions to ask. You followed George Bush blindly into the Iraqi war, and you have been mostly silent about the current adminstration's countless abuses of powers. I think it's time that you press people live up to your role as the fourth power in this nation, if we are to be really free.

1) He is having his speech at a stadium in order to involve more people in government (bottom up) not in front of a select few at a convention (top down).

If any Dems are worried about Obama’s speech tonight, don’t be, he’ll have his teleprompter.

Am I the only one that is smart enough to notice that the Obama stage is the Lincoln Memorial building in D.C

Keep up the attack my fellow republicans because this will cause McCain's downfall coming November. There's a big chunk of undecided republicans right now that is really tired of all the negative attacks when the future of this country is at stake. I don't think another COLD WAR is good for the country.

Who cares if he looks like a rockstar! It's better than what we've had the last 8 yrs. Americans need the kind of pride in country that he instills.

This convention in a stadium in my opinion is extremely obcene. People are going hungry, losing their homes, can't afford medicines and the democratic party has the gall to put on a Roman political orgy, sorry to say I usually vote as a democrat. This is thourgholy disgusting. Talk about rock star or celebrity status OBAMA for shame.

HE ACCTUALY CARES HE IS DOING THAT BECAUSE SOMEONE LIKE ME CAN GO ATTENED THE CONVENTION AND SEE HIM SPEAK IN PERSON!

The Obamabots are lining up like sheep. How pathetic that they can't see past the wool over their eyes.

You people are so jealous that it's pathetic. This is for his supporters who have worked for him. At some point maybe you people will grow up and recognize how important this day is.

I have been watching the coverage today & the last 3 days. I am very excited about the chances that Barack Obama & Joe Biden have of winning in November. I hope that all Americans vote with their hearts, without bias. I will definately be voting this fall for Obama/Biden

Gary, don't you get the symbolism? John Kennedy gave his acceptance speech is a football stadium (the Coliseum in Los Angeles), so Barack feels he needs to do the same since he thinks he's akin to John F. Kennedy. Well, that and it makes him look like a rock star. Maybe we could have Janet Jackson perfrom in the background. Oops, maybe that's not a good idea…. a wardrobe malfunction would take the spotlight away from Barack. And we mustn't have that, right.

For a guy who doesn't see himself as a "celebrity" he certanly is putting on a show like Madonna would.
Obama is a good orator but that's where it ends…he's all fluff and not a lot of substance.
For a guy who graduated from Harvard he certainly has head in other places.
Tell us how you are going "change" when you have an old hack from the senate. Tell us how you are going "change" when all you see is stars in your eyes and a scowl on Ms. Obamas face when things are done and said she doesn't like.
Tell us how you can "change" when you use the race card! Sound like old politics to us…

Obama supporters do like their stars, they need Oprah to tell them how to vote!

OBAMA IS ACTING MORE LIKE A ROCK STAR. HE DONT NEED A FOOTBALL FIELD TO HAVE A CONVENTION THAT DOSN'T MAKE HIM ANYMORE EXPERIENCED TO BE PRESIDENT. THERE IS A SAYING WHAT GLITTERS IS NOT ALWAYS GOLD. THINK ABOUT IT.
