I love Bob Casey

[maseman]

He is speaking now. He isn't cut from the "you must look perfect and speak perfect" politician mold. He's got a great message and I like him.

[BklynChick]

1. I like him too.

[AspenRose]

2. Me too.

[BumRushDaShow]

3. The crowd loves him too!

Thank god we managed to use him to boot the evil Rick Santorum out!

[PM7nj]

4. I like him just for the fact that he kicked Santorums ass.

This is probably the best speech he ever gave though... which isn't saying much.

[TexasLady]

5. Ilovehimmore

[KittyWampus]

15. he's got the guy-next-door type charisma that I like

[classiclib4life]

6. But he's *GASP* AGAINST womens rights!

:eyes:

[Muttocracy]

[Gidney N Cloyd]

13. LOVIN IT! "We can't afford four more years - How bout four more months?"

:toast:

[Barack_America]

9. He, um, got in a pretty good dig at Bill Clinton there...

Not sure how much the big dog is going to like that one.

[blonndee]

19. Whadhesay about Clinton? Missed most of the speech.

[Barack_America]

21. Bit of history...

Bill Clinton would not let Casey's father speak at his convention due to Casey's pro-life stance. It began a big rift between the two families, that still resonates in PA politics to this day. It was proposed as the reason the Bob Casey Jr. (who you just heard) endorsed Obama so early.

And Bob Casey just said that it was a testament to Obama's character that he would let Casey speak at his convention, even though he is pro-life. Not so subtle there.

[blonndee]

23. Thank you.

I never would have picked up on that, not knowing that background info.

[ErinBerin84]

20. are you sure?

I thought that he said that Republicans inherited a really good economic situation from the 90s (paying dues to Bill) and then managed to royally fuck it up. What did you hearZ?

[Barack_America]

22. .

Read my response to Blondee above. I tried to summarize it there.

[BumRushDaShow]

10. Casey about McCain: That's not a Maverick, that's a sidekick!

:spray:

:rofl:

[livetohike]

11. He just called McCain a "sidekick" to Bush

He's doing great. Yay for my PA Senator :toast:.

[polichick]

12. "That's not a maverick, that's a sidekick!" GREAT LINE!!!

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

14. Yeah, the crowds seems to waking up finally.

[maseman]

16. That was a phenominal speech!

Man he nailed it. love the sidekick comment. That is my next bumpersticker.

[politicasista]

17. Yep. The 4 more months was cool!

Plus, he was one of the few Democrats that defended Kerry during the 2006 botched joke episode.

[nsd]

18. Wow, Bob Casey is the man!

I did not expect that. Not a maverick, a sidekick! Best line of the night.
