The Democratic Party Convention: 3rd Night

All the excitement continued on this third night of the DNC. The night's theme was regarding the United States as it relates to the national stage.

What I got out of it was seeing the Democrat past, present and future. One of my pre-Clinton speech favorites came from that tough old broad, Madeline Albright, who I have always loved. Speeches from the future of the party that impressed me came from Patrick Murphy, who freshly from tours in Iraq, joined the Democrat party and was joined on stage by former members of our military. These fine men and women need better resources after defending our country; resources that were shot down by the Republicans, including John McCain.

The second newcomer that we should keep an eye on is Capt. Bo Biden, Joe Biden's son. He is currently a Captain in the Army reserves, whose unit is being deployed for one year to Iraq. He is also the Attorney General for Delaware. His unit will deploy in October.

From the past, a great speech from Bill Clinton, which brought down the house and a powerful speech from John Kerry rounded out the evening before the nomination and acclimation to make Job Biden the Democrat Vice President candidate.

Joe Biden's speech touched on all points of the Obama/Biden ticket. The night ended with a surprise appearance of Barrack himself.

I'm looking forward to tonight.
