Open Thread for the Speech

Okay, I thought the first part was as Zorn did. Yet, nationally, even with high expectations, he hit it out of the ballpark.
My inbox has been flooded with stuff so I may/may not get back to people today.

Dan’s Cracking Over at the Leader
Dan, it isn’t Obama’s fault you supported a charlatan. Why don’t you take some of that energy and get your client to sign and deliver the damn withdrawal paper. Or update us on the status of your lawsuit to unseal unsealed court documents.
In other wacky Leader fun, one commenter accuses a guy who can’t even spell McCulloch correctly of being McCulloch.
A fine thread that starts off with calling Obama a crackhead persists.
Silliest Moniker
The first black male Democratic Senator. Why not just say the first multiracial but really African-American male Senator born in Hawaii and raised in Kansas who had a Kenyan Economist for a father and was President of the Harvard Law Review Senator.
Funniest Story of the Day?
Bobby Rush trying to be gracious about Barack. Funny, but NPR didn’t mention that Rush supported Hull in the primary.
Pappas gives some good Obama porn predicting he’ll be catapulted to national fame.
Speaking of Pappas I hear Jim Allen and her were out cycling with good friends of mine Jason and Maddie–they say hi Jim if you are still reading.
The Big Waaaaaaa Of the Day
And I bet Cauley knows this, there are far worse problems to have.

Key Note Sneak Preview
Dear Barack Brigade,
Your enthusiasm and dedication is what convinced the Kerry-Edwards campaign that a skinny guy with a funny name from the South Side of Chicago could give the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention. It is your voice, your struggle, and your aspirations that have motivated me since day one, and more than anything I want my voice to be yours this Tuesday when I speak.
That is why I would like to give you, the Barack Brigade, the ones who have been there since we started this improbable journey months ago, the opportunity to hear what I am going to say first. Bear in mind that the full speech won’t be posted, and that last minute editing is bound to happen, but I want to give my most loyal supporters the chance to read what I’m going to say. Please be sure to post your thoughts, because I can’t be your voice if I don’t hear what you think.
So after 4:00 PM ET, on Tuesday, July 27th, be sure to visit www.obamablog.com for a SNEAK PREVIEW of excerpts from the speech. Hopefully this small gesture will help you begin to understand how grateful I am for all that you have done for me, and how much I value your opinions.
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. You are the reason why we won the primary. You are the reason why I am the keynote speaker at the Democratic National Convention, and you are the reason why we will win in November.
Errr…umm…what?

Ummm…what demo are they trying to hit now?
