Listen: Senator Leahy (D-VT) snaps a photo of Michelle Obama.
Michelle Obama enters a room, the crowd goes wild. The people can't get enough of her, even the other big shots. Roving floor reporter, Alex Goldmark, catches Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy snapping a few photos of the (potential) future first lady.

YOU SHOULD BE SAYING THAT TO THE REPUBLICANS

.
You are right. It is handwringing. That the Democrats aren't playing hardball.

You watch. McCain as turned this into a referendum on Obama. McCain has called Obama a traitor, saying that he wouldn't mind losing a war to win an election. McCain has completely defined Obama. That's the way it's played in politics. You have to define your opponent.

How many Americans believe Obama is a Muslim? Look how he has been tied to Rev Wright and Rezko.

When Clinton left office, there was a 120 billion surplus. Now there is a 500 billion deficit.

We are spending 10 billion a month in Iraq.

The Iraq constitution makes it a fundamentalist Islamic country.

1.4 million Christians have been decimated to 700,000 and when we leave they will finish the job.

The Iraqis have 80 billion in oil money sitting in our banks, while we mortgage our children’s future paying for everything.

Our country tortures and has secret prisons.

Our economy is being devastated.

People from Katrina are STILL suffering.

McCain wants to start more wars.

Our military has been devastated and our wounded soldiers are being sent to Walter Reid and Fort Sill, mold covered pest holes.

We have 200,000 veterans living on the streets.

And you are accusing me of stirring up discontent?

Good. We need discontent. What the Democrats have done the last three days is terrible. They need to stand up to the neocons, but when you have Democrats saying, “Let’s reach across the isle and make the future bright and shiny”, the entirely WRONG message is being sent.

You watch, if the Republicans can accuse Obama of being a traitor BEFORE their convention, there is nothing they won’t say or do. I believe McCain will be elected if this campaign stays weak.
