I hope she gets a good bounce after her speech at the Convention- she really hit it out of the park.

(776 posts)....said (paraphrase) "it looks like we have a new star". Now that is paraphrasing but he meant she has the moxy for leadership in the congress & maybe more.
I thought she did a great job, had a great attitude & was a wonderfully nice person.
I could not find a link to the video but Al & the whole crew were very impressed.

(40,416 posts)Watched PBS last night. Both Biden and I were teary eyed. (camera focussed twice on Joe during her speech)
There is a DUer who is willing to match donations. (in another thread, one of very many Duckworth threads.)
I am a huge fanboy. She is Presidential material. Too bad she was born in Thailand.
She is incredible and is shaking things up big time. Many here won't like her because she talks bipartisanship. But as one who grew up in the fifties and sixties, when there was actual bipartisanship, I have to support that concept in spite of the fact that I am a filthy liberal socialist.

Thanks for the heads-up.
