Uncle Ron's Ramblings
Obama Acceptance Speech Tonight: I know that headline is redundant. The announcement in the TV section above already says in big bold letters that tonight is the big night: All three major networks will televise Barack Obama's acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention.
There are three football games tonight and a Smallville rerun (Kara/Supergirl is still trapped in the Phantom Zone until the new season starts) but they should be over by the time network convention coverage starts (if someone has a digital TV they can watch compete prime time coverage on PBS channel 34).
Two of the football games feature the Bears or Colts and the Bear game features Brady Quinn starting at quarterback (see article in Sports).
Bill Clinton, 42d President of the United States, put aside any rumored ill-will last night and urged—in his usual eloquent manner—the assembled Democrats at the convention to work to make the man who defeated his wife for the nomination the 44th.
"Clearly, the job of the next president is to rebuild the American Dream and restore America's standing in the world," the former president said. "Everything I learned in my eight years as president and in the work I've done since, in America and across the globe, has convinced me that Barack Obama is the man for this job."
President Clinton's speech came after Sen. Hillary Clinton had taken to the stage earlier in the evening to call for an acclimation vote to nominate her former rival.
The evening concluded with Vice-Presidential nominee Joe Biden's acceptance speech reminding the delegates "John McCain was wrong. Barack Obama was right."
The vice-presidential acceptance speech was supposed to conclude the evening but it wasn't over. The now official presidential nominee made a brief appearance at the podium with his running mate.
The McCain camp stole a little bit of the Democratics' thunder by announcing that he had made his pick for vice-president and would announce it Friday
