Obama-Biden Springfield Appearance Thread

By Big Tent Democrat

I am not going to live blog it but I may add some thoughts if something interesting happens. Here is a thread for you to share your thoughts on the Springfield appearance.

This is a thread about the Springfield appearance only so keep it on topic please.

3:10 pm EDT -Pretty typical event. Not particularly interesting or exciting. The event seems flat to me. Obama's intro is kind of weak to boot. Not great so far. Maybe when Biden gets his chance to praise Obama the excitement level will go up.

More...

3:18 pm EDT - Obama picks up the energy level when he goes back into campaign rhetoric. Introduces Joe Biden.

3:22 pm EDT - Biden looks good and seems full of energy. His speech's theme is NO Bush's Third Term. That is excellent. IF that will be Biden's theme, then should have had him out on the stump a few weeks ago. Gets off a good zinger on McCain's "7 kitchen tables."

3:28 pm EDT - "Literally?" Enough with the literally. It is simply bad usage and annoying.

3:35 pm EDT - A good VP speech, some of the annoying Biden tics show, but all in all, he'll do, so long as the McCain = Bush's Third Term is his theme. Sounds like it will be. The event was a little rough but it was fine. Nothing special, but good enough I think. Too bad it was on a Saturday instead of last Tuesday.
