Do not listen to MSNBC's coverage of this event. It is a completely false representaion of what is happening here. There is nothing short of electricity in the air. There is NO DRAMA HERE! The PUMA's are running around in small, loose packs screaming like lunatics. People are not even paying attention to them. They scream Republican smears at the top of there lungs. People just walk by and laugh. The vibe of this place is hopeful and intelligent. People really know the issues here and the conversations I've had with complete strangers are incredible. I repeat there is NO DRAMA HERE! I have not watched the coverage seeing that I am here but a friend in Seattle called me last night and told the entire coverage by MSNBC yesterday was solely based on creating drama out of thin air. I am very excited to see Hillary tonight. All of you people who are wishing for a story here will be proven wrong when she speaks. Her speech tonight will squash all this media created bull. What will MSNBC talk about now? God forbid you focus on issues! I encourage you guys to watch PBS. I've been told they are focusing on the convention itself. I'll try to check in again and give you the real story from Denver. </description></item><item><title>Clinton counts herself in</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/08/26/1293975.aspx#1294175</link><pubDate>Tue, 26 Aug 2008 18:03:25 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1294175</guid><dc:creator>Pat Huntington NY</dc:creator><description>Hillary/Warner 2012!</description></item><item><title>Clinton counts herself in</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/08/26/1293975.aspx#1294176</link><pubDate>Tue, 26 Aug 2008 18:03:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1294176</guid><dc:creator>Lisa, Baltimore</dc:creator><description>Sen.

She put in the time, money, and effort to get her chance at the Presidency, only to have it take from her by a rookie senator that managed to get extremely positive coverage out of the MSM.

Like Chris Mathews I too had a tingling sensation when I first heard Barrack, but his flip flopping and his failure to unite the party and insure victory by putting Hillary on the ticket is powerful evidence he is not ready to be commander in chief and doesnt understand his own message of unity in order to bring about change. Mccain clearly would be a better commmander in chief even if you differ with him on some issues such as abortion. </description></item><item><title>Clinton counts herself in</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/08/26/1293975.aspx#1294351</link><pubDate>Tue, 26 Aug 2008 18:38:41 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1294351</guid><dc:creator>mewzette</dc:creator><description>The real Obama supporters have not figured out by calling people names and telling them how they have to behave does not indear people to their candidate. Obama choice to not even consider a candidate that received 12 million votes was selfish and devisive.&lt;br&gt;A lot of those votes were not just for Hillary, but were absolutely Democrats against Obama. &amp;nbsp;Instead of trying to win them over he slapped them in the face. &amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>Clinton counts herself in</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/08/26/1293975.aspx#1294355</link><pubDate>Tue, 26 Aug 2008 18:39:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1294355</guid><dc:creator>Al, NJ</dc:creator><description>There is no way Hillary could have been picked as Vice-President and I wish people would deal with reality. &amp;nbsp;How can a President have a high profile Vice President with an ex-President spouse? &amp;nbsp;The President needs to be in charge and with the press so enamored (at least with reporting purposes) the Clintons, Obama would be undermined from the start. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am not saying Hillary would deliberately undermine Obama as Vice President, the press would do it. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So go ahead and vote for McCain and then four years from now if Hillary gets the nomination the country can dig out of a bigger mess. &amp;nbsp;Does that make sense? &amp;nbsp;It would be nice if people could think logically and keep their emotions in check. &amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>Clinton counts herself in</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/08/26/1293975.aspx#1294356</link><pubDate>Tue, 26 Aug 2008 18:40:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1294356</guid><dc:creator>Amy,Tx</dc:creator><description>For Hillary supporters that vote for McCain deserve McCain. He has voted against women rights, does not want us to have equal pay, his friends say women should enjoy rape, calls his wife ***t in public, voted against GI Bill, told his wife to compete in topless contest, divorced first wife because she no longer was pretty and was sick, if you vote for him you are not what Hillary was fighting for.
