[QUOTE=Diogenes the Cynic]  
I think McCain is going to burble something too tonight, for some reason. To remind everybody he exists, I guess.  
[/QUOTE]

He’s speaking now.

Strategic. No one listens to McSame, so he figures he’ll ride Obama’s wave tonight, to show the public he’s not just a figment of their imaginations.

Why is he being covered?

And furthermore, why are we watching?

[QUOTE=Phlosphr]  
Doh! It was cool to watch either way 🙂  
[/QUOTE]

You guessed my original intention – Portuguese was the closest I found.

But more to the point, hearty felt congratulations to you all – and I mean “all” beyond people like you , **Shayna, Lib, RT and many others**. As in _America_ finally coming to their senses.

Hell yeaaaaah! Finally. And just when my kid starts college…a better tomorrow looms large. Because I don’t (want) to think for a minute that the whole of you will allow McSame into the WH.

President Barack Obama. The world awaits for and welcomes you.

_:::click that link again…and again:::_

It’s a great night indeed. 😉

TBH, I’m watching but far from _listening._

I aim to stay awake for Barack’s speech. Won’t happen if I actually did listen to this Tylenol PM with legs.

Why is McCain reminding everybody why they shouldn’t vote for him? We get it you are the candidate for change, there’s no need to say it 70 million times. And yes, hillis44 nuts, McCain will welcome you with open arms.

And you know what? I don’t wish, like my husband, for Hillary be crushed in ND before she gives her speech. Let’s give her another chance for a dignified exit. If she rises to it good, if not, then I’ll have one last load to bitch about tomorrow.

LOL!! I laughed at that. My allergies are killing me and I just took a Benedryl - I am going to have to staple my eyes open to watch the speech, but Damn it I want to hear it live! 🙂

So it’s on at 10 eastern?

HC is going to speak in a few minutes. It’s being reported that it will be a concession speech.
