7:00 Sounds like Tyler is going to make it into the stadium! We've been talking to him on the cell.

7:16 We are munching pizza and really LOVED Al Gore's speech. The retired Generals are now coming out to be honored and make the point that Obama is the best choice to defend our country!

8:25 It isn't that John McCain doesn't care...
it's that John McCain just doesn't get it.

8:40 He's taking it to McCain on national security. Excellent. Yes, we can!

He [McCain] said he'll follow Bin Laden to the Gates of Hell, but he won't even follow him to the cave where he lives!

8:42 We need a President who will address the threats of the future, not keep grasping at threats of the past.

8:43 WE ARE THE PART OF ROOSEVELT, WE ARE THE PARTY OF KENNEDY. SO DON'T TELL ME THE DEMOCRATS WON'T KEEP US SAFE.

8:46 [Our men and women in uniform] have not served a red America, or a blue America, they have served THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. I've got news for John McCain. WE ALL PUT OUR COUNTRY FIRST.

8:51 Change is coming.. and I know it's coming because I have seen it.
