GOP will be shitting Clinton's santorum for months.

Sandra Fluke is incredibly cute.

I don't know about "incredibly", but I'll back you on the judgment call.

Just caught video of the dude botching the oral vote twice on the revised platform.  Hilarious.

I just watched about the first half hour of Clinton's speech.  Damn.  Pretty good.  And this from a guy who wanted both Bush 41 and Dole to win in their respective elections.

Everyone likes Clinton these days.  I watched clips of the speech and the one part that bugged me was the defensive bit about how nobody could have turned the economy around in four years.  Seemed like he was making excuses for Obama-- I would have just avoided that entirely.

Don't you?  Balanced budgets?  Welfare reform?

Hell - I'll even say kind words about Jean Chretien I never thought I would say.  He may have been a thieving, corrupt crook, but at least he balanced the budget.

GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan said President Barack Obama's administration "purged" mentions of God from the Democratic Party platform Wednesday.

"I think it's rather peculiar," Ryan said on "Fox & Friends." "It's not in keeping with our founding documents, our founding vision. I'd guess you'd have to ask the Obama administration why they purged all this language from their platform. There sure is a lot of mention of government. I guess I would just put the onus and the burden on them to explain why they did all this, these purges of God."

Do our "founding documents" reference god? The Declaration of Independence references "creator", but I don't think god comes up in the constitution.

Well apparently the Dem leaders grew concerned:

Embarrassed by Republicans, Democrats amended their convention platform Wednesday to add a mention of God and declare that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.

Many in the audience booed after the convention chairman, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, ruled that the amendments had been approved despite the fact that a large group of delegates objected. He called for a vote three times before ruling.

200k jobs added. If Obama gives a good speech, it could open up.

200k jobs added.

I'm seeing 135k, but anyway I wonder what the number will be once it's revised downward next week

If Obama gives a good speech, it could open up.

Dunno.  There are very few undecideds at this point.  Romney got a microscopic bounce from the GOP convention.  Obama may get a bounce after this week, but I wouldn't count on it opening up.

ADP's saying 201K, and they're usually right on the money enough for Wall Street to gamble on it, it's still not enough.
