Can't even get applause lines right.

I have to wonder if they're idiots, or if they're hoping to get some Colbert mileage out of this.

That BS about "it doesn't matter whose idea it is" - that's a line that many republicans are using this year.   Kenny Hulshof in MO Gov race is using that line all the time.

I was a POW, so vote for me....

Just amazing.

I mean for the love of God, the only new ideas the man had he stole from Obama.  Literally.

The rest of Bush's speech from 2000 and 2004 (school choice!  Terrah!  Bi-partisanship!  Cut foreign aid!) and then the last 5 minutes was "Did you know I was a POW?"

Screw him, it's over.

More at Zandar vs. The Stupid.

I just cannot figure out what they are talking about.

What a waste!!

All that great energy, not leveraged, but wasted. Evidently the planners never dreamed a few thousand people would drive from all parts of Los Angeles to this tiny little office in the middle of nowhere (not far from where I live, for that matter).

And what really pissed me off???

The campaign asked us to shut the door and not let people in as they were literally at fire hazard capacity. I stepped up and helped keep the door closed, but had to open it for Fox News (hope they were nice to us), and for some uppity Congresswoman named Richardson who said she had a "meeting" with one of the campaign staffers. Originally, I turned her away as I had everyone else. She then said she was a Congresswoman. I said well then, go on in. She then decided to berate me for not asking her name before I said she couldn't get in. ARGH. I was really angry then. And I don't know how this group works, but no one in their right mind would have scheduled a meeting that night. When I pressed her, it devolved to an "invitation." I let her in but said it was elitist of her to use her connection to get in when all of those first timers were being shut out. "That's not what this campaign is about," I said. She then proceeded to lecture me for another few minutes. All I know is, she stood there and lost my vote and didn't even care. What an ugly night.

I never did get in. But I do live nearby and am sure I'll be there often, so I just took off. But all that wasted energy and talent. I wanted to scream.

I know the woman who originally ran CA was not invited back - they ran a really nonexistant campaign here - the only reason we did well at all was that a bunch of volunteers stepped up and just did their own thing. But with a leader, CA might not have gone to Hillary at all.

Water under the bridge. And I'm tired and hungry, and want to see if I haven't yet missed Obama on O'Lie-lee. But I'm still pissed. And this should have been a happy night.
