Evening out. its possible the democrats are getting more fired up. i think some of the old memories of 08 are being rekindled, and i think that would be good news for the democrats. i dont know that the middle will move that much and youll see that much of a bounce in the polls. i think it would be critical if obama has begun to activate that base that was pretty diseffective for the last couple of years. >> we played earlier in the show the clip from biden, the clip everybody is plays about osa...

Some regulations and call us in the morning. >> one thing is clear from both charlotte and tampa, this is an election aimed at the bases and little effort is extended to win the few remaining voters. i thought last nights speech was great. not soaring oratory on purpose but it was campaigning on prose. it was the mark of a mature writer to not go for the poetry we saw in 04 and 08, but strong, confident, and resolute and the foreign policy smackdown was devastating. feels good as a democrat to o...

Take blue districts that obama did well in 08 and tell me the percentage in 08, the percentage that turned out in 12. if its close, obama wins. if its better, obama wins in a landslide. if its lower, hes in trouble. >> okay. ed rendell thank you so much. >> by the way, you were mischievous trying to get republicans to waste money in pennsylvania again. it is fools gold. ive said it before. ill say it again. republicans, you do not listen to governor rendell. you cannot win pennsylvania. spend yo...

>> you were almost vice president. how does he not know who you are? speaking of a vice president, joe biden got a little choked up last night after his son bo nominated him for a second term. >> its my great honor to place into nomination for the office of vice president of the united states my father, my hero, joe biden. >> all right. a lot of eyes were on the first daughters. malia and sasha, who are growing before americas eyes, and they are good sports, especially when their dad makes a jok...

Legitimate. take a listen. >> though i often disagree with republicans, i actually never learned to hate them the way the far right now controls their party seems to hate our president. and a lot of other democrats. >> reverend, given where bill clinton and barack obama were back in 08 in that racially tinged primary how effective was it that president clinton brought that up? >> very effective. i was very critical of mr. clinton in 08 even though ive worked with him and known his wife for a lon...

Contraceptive coverage as part of their health insurance as under graduates. of course she was also impuneed by rush limbaugh. here we go, something is happening here. theyre the people behind me. anyway, i think well have a very important speech coming up now, elizabeth warren, taking over the toughest fights in the united states senate race across the country and taking on scott brown in a very tough race in the commonwealth of massachusetts. she is about a handful of votes behind right now, a...

Struck out four times. decided to put the vice president and president on the i thought youd tell me not to same night. come anymore, but you didnt. your convention with mccain and remember when i made you take your sister to her first dance? palin in 08, she gave up that i thought youd hate me forever for that. but you didnt. bangup speech. remember when you were too old >> considering the flow of the other nights, if you wanted to to kiss good night anymore, but get the first lady in and castr...

Six years. tuesday he released an extension. now that video encompasses 12 1/2 years every single day. >> amazing. the new video takes him through one month every three seconds. he was 19 when the project started. he is 32. i would love to see this with the presidents of the united states. and see them age. just over four years, maybe eight years. >> look like different men when their term is over. thats for sure. ever see how gray president obama has gotten? difference between 08 and now. stagg...

Thats why he was such a great spokesman here today. there was a clear choice. he said listen, the republicans in tampa, they got us into this mess. the best argument, is, oh, okay. president obama hasnt fixed all of it fast enough so get rid of him but were the guys who created it. not a great argument and i think president clinton took all those issues to say what president obama has done and what he will do in the next four years. health care. he took on the tough issues. you took on defense, ...

He didnt talk about abortion. he didnt talk about gay marriage. he ran a very kind of jfk-esque were going to solve this. we werent going to have partisanship anymore. >> thank god. willie, werent you tired of partisansh partisanship, thank god it went away. >> obama learned the clinton lessons in 08, i disagree with jim a little bit, in so far you have swing voters who realize the ads are all wrong, people get that, and if, you know, in so far as they were paying attention beyond the dallas bea...
