Comments on: The Denver Dems Aren’t Making the Sale

National Review: A Close Race And Unanswered Questions Put The Pressure On Obama

Larry Kudlow clearly underestimated what was going to be said Thursday night. Not only was it sold, but to the 82,000 at Invesco Field, the hundreds on the street in times square watching, the millions of views on TV and watching the stream over the Internet.

As for $344 billion price tag, even it is true, which I doubt, its less than the Bush deficit and less than an year in Iraq.

Come November 5th, Kudlow can tell me again how he doesn''t think it was sold.

Ah, the tired old lie about higher taxes. Democrats and Obama aren''t anti-business or anti-rich, they''re just for fair play, which the rich and their minions like Kudlow don''t like the sound of. Fair play sounds pretty good to most folks, or should, after 8 years of Bush''s giveaways to corporations. We won''t have to raise taxes on anyone if we just make everyone pay what they should already be paying--a fair share. I would support a flat tax, no deductions. How many Republican-leaning corporations or rich would say the same thing? None, because they know they make a killing in profits off of loopholes and NEVER pay their fair share. I like what I hear when a candidate says he''ll level the playing field. Government is supposed to be for the people after all, not a select few with the power to buy dirty politicians through lobbying. If we''re going to give tax credits, give them to small businesses that strengthen communities, not to corps. like Walmart that suck communities dry, give them to alternative fuel start-ups that will truly reduce dependence on foreign oil, not big oil that has undermined every higher fuel standard and mass transit option in this country for decades to keep America addicted, give them to companies that invest in American communities, not ship jobs over the border. It''s a lie to say Obama is anti-business. He''s just for investing in business that will make this country stronger and more secure, serving all of us, not just a privileged few.

I know what you mean...I would love to throw caution to the wind and jump on the Obama band wagon but some instinct inside me keeps asking hard questions about his inexperience, his sudden rise to fame. But most of all for the life of me I can''t get over the feeling that he''s just like these other TV preachers who take people in by the millions and deceive them. I guess I am somewhat jaded also. I''m mostly republican but I have voted several times for democrats. I had intended on voting for Hillary if she had got the nomination because I thought she was in the middle somewhere between Obama and McCain. I''ve tried to keep and open mind and listen to all the speeches but the biggest turnoff for me is the adulation that people lavish on him...it makes me feel weird towards him.

Kudlow having suffered alcoholism & failure ,as Bush does,was saved as a spokesman for the rich& privaliged.He must serve them& never let the facts get in the way of his opinion.Rush had the dope thing & same stuff.

Not surprising, Obama has a negative effect on the neocons. Indigestion, incontinence and abject sobbing are the symptoms. Too bad, so sad.

The only real question is, what will all the third shift bitter, bitter neocon spammers going to do after November 6? heheh

Great job Obama - electrifying, historic speech, you''ve got my vote, and the vote of every real American.

It''s an old article - been up for a couple of days or so (?) For sure Barack''ll get a big bounce from his speech, wouldn''t you think?

Okay, I couldn''t sleep LOL

Stuff like this probably brings people to tears - but really isn''t it probably about him? He''s a politician, he''s got ambition . . .

Probably I''m going to get attacked for sounding ''jaded'', and my judgment isn''t perfect, but the reality is that isn''t what Barack excels at to a certain extent praying on desperate peoples'' desire to believe? And aren''t we all feeling beyond desperate after 8 years of Bush? Yikes!

I''m trying to be fair and not just shoot down a helium baloon . . . just not sure what''s a fair level of skepticism and what''s deserving of criticism that one''s overly cynical. Like if no President ever delivers on their promises, then maybe skepticism is too harsh and unappreciative a response to inspiration? But if there''s slim chance and people actually think there is AND that slim chance might actually lead to policies which might leave us vulnerable or worse off (?)

Did writer Kudlow see the same convention I did? But wait..he writes for the National Review which is GOP dominated.

If Kudlow really believes that there was no bounce, how does he explain the 84,000 plus/minus in the stadium and the millions watching on tv? Can McCain equal or exceed this feat?
