Anyone notice how a couple of the speakers tonight have addressed the crowd as "my friends"?

Doesn't McCain use that phrase at the beginning of every sentence?

Kinda scary. I don't want "friends" like them!

They can't even come up with their own slogan? What a bunch of baboons.

fixthebroken   September 2nd, 2008 10:45 pm ET

Of course they did - they have shown recently that they have no original thought or ideas, so they steal others. I would expect nothing less.

@wolfblitzercnn: Redskins-Giants always exciting. Both teams have a lot to prove. And Giants can still salvage playoffs. Skins just need a win.
