Quick hit: Blogging live from (watching) Obama's acceptance speech

Tomorrow after work I'm heading straight home to watch the Convention, including Barack's acceptance speech which starts at 5:30 Pacific time. If you want to watch it, you'll be able to see it on PBS, MSNBC, CNN, and FOX News (one vowel movement away from what they do to the news), and of course, C-Span. If you want a recommendation from me, watch it on the Span.

Remember, 5:30 Pacific time, C-Span, Obama's acceptance speech.

More speeches from th Convention so far...

Brian Schweitzer, Governor of Montana


Dennis Kucinich, Congressman from Ohio


Ted Kennedy, Senator from Massachusetts


Nanci Pelosi, Congresswoman from California


I'm still looking for Kathleen Sebelius' speech, but this should keep you held over until I do. By the way, what's with the 30+ year old music? Is this the 21st century or what?

A proud mother, a proud Senator, a proud America, and a proud supporter of Barack Obama

I love Hillary. I love her speech. I love Peter for having MSNBC on when I got home tonight so we would watch the rebroadcast.

Watch the speech. I have no words. She says it all.

Some thoughts on Michelle Obama's speech last night

I laughed, I cried. I was touched by the earnestness with which Michelle delivered her speech. She seemed real and honest, and all those who knew her said that that was the real Michelle who delivered that speech.

Afterward, Sasha and Malia (the Obama girls) came out on stage with their mom and Barack appeared via satellite from Kansas City MO. It was a little strange, I think to see that kind of a family moment in front of all of those people (their daughters are so adorable). This was a great introduction of the Obama family to the American people.

And, if you didn't see it, here's Michelle's speech
