Tonight's floor session just started and I've already teared up once. I don't stand a chance. Trace Adkins sang the opening national anthem — no accompaniment, just his booming voice — and after one line, the whole crowd started to join him. Tentatively at first, then by the end the hall was ablaze with song. There is a heck of a lot of red worn in this hall tonight, and people are ready for the main event.
John McCain is set to take the stage at 10 p.m. ET, preceded by Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota; Sen. Mel Martinez of Florida; former Sen. Bill Frist of Tennessee; and Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas. What are you looking for McCain to say? What would constitute a home run?

I bet Ivanka Trump was watching Trace sing tonight
1I'll be watching it! After Obama on OReilly of course...
2I'll be watching it! Then quickly change over to Fix news to watch Obama's response.
Watch how skyrocketing Bill O'Reilly's ratings will be tonight, which is why he's so excited to have him there.
3Bills rating is are pretty high anyways, he has won this time slot in cable news for like years on end.
But I have a gripe! Why oh why do they put SO MUCH makeup on Obama?? From what I can see in reg. pics he doesn't have bad skin! I just irks me so. He needs to fire his makeup person!
4Someone really needs to get Keyes in there, stat!
5I think in the 90s the Daily Show was at the convention and they said the Republicans had 1 black guy and they would just put him in different hats and make him walk around...
6Rac - a bold AND italic. you've come such a long way!
7wow team is really quick! i PM'd her like 3 min ago asking to change my name and voila! i'm impressed!
8ah dang it! now its back
9andddd now I'm talking to myself....
10More cupcakes! Cupcakes for everyone! I started with italics and bold, saved up a little money and then purchased my first emoticon.
From there, I just kept expanding and increasing my portfolio to include:
I've got my eye on this one though. Once I get this, I'll finally feel complete.
I know it's not much, but it has sentimental value.
11I'll be watching the highlights -- and probably the full speech tomorrow. Cnn release some excerpts -- he plans to talk about his vision for change. Should be interesting.
12I'm going to watch and drink whenever I hear the words "terror" or "evil."
13Obama did great on OReilly! Go Obama!!
14I might watch tonight, but I'll actually probably watch it on youtube tomorrow b/c I have a quiz too early in the AM
15Foxy - I disagree. He stammered a lot and I think he was pretty vague (but I always find him to be that way). I think HRC did a better job when she came in... but he still has Mon, Tues, and Wed (thanks for dragging it out bill
) to change my mind!
16I think he body language was interested, he seemed to keep pushing back like he was saying "Now hold on, now hold on"
HRC seemed much more comfortable when she came in. Geez she was even funny! But again, there are more parts so no need to judge just yet.
17I agree that he was leaning forward a bit. In my opinion he was stammering because oreilly kept interupting him. I also think every time obama made a good point, bill would brush it off and move on to the next thing. just my *democratically inclined opinion though. i do like how bill gave him credit for being a strong guy and "no weakling".
18i didnt think bill saying that part about diplomacy working is a hypothetical but pressing him on whether or not he would use the military --- isn't THAT a hypothetical?? I thought that was kind of silly.
I did like how he put the screws to him about the surge though.
19FOxy you gotta agree with me about the foundation right?? too much makeup!!
20The Obama foundation thing bothers me almost as much as McCain saying "my friends" every 2 seconds. If anyone is looking for a drinking game, listen to his speech and take a shot every time he says "my friends" you will be wasted in no time!
Citizen - if you could play that game, we'd get some reallly interesting reporting from you!
21yeah, that was little too much! lol!
22My friend, you are exactly right. I also love it when McCain leanse back a little, grins and blinks whenever he's made a point.
I don't know why make up artists love to slather foundation onto Barack's face. It's almost as if they are trying to make a plaster of paris mold or something.
23Dang it. They are trying to use the promise of a Cindy McCain speech to lure me into watching the John McCain speech. It's so crafty it just might work.
24kas we know you just want to see what she's wearing! you don't have to watch the whole thing!
25So he lied about his age. When he met her. Did he lie about being married?? He was married at the time, yes?
26So he can lie when it suits him. And they highlight it in their convention video.
27Is that whole Cindy McCain stealing pain meds from her charity true? I thought I saw it on John McCain revealed.
28I need meds to get through this exciting speech.
29haha...i have it on, but i must confess, I had to mute the sound.
30you guys are better than me, i have south park on!
31"We can lose! We can Lose!" - Cartman
32Just please learn how to pronounce Vietnam.
33A loyal and true husband, is that a joke?
34Whoa, someone has stolen the cupcake! Cab, quick!!
Oh, whoops.
I missed Obama on Papa Bear Bill O'Reilly's lap. Guess I'll have to check back here for highlights tomorrow.
35didn't he call her a c-word?
36What's wrong with how they say Vietnam? It's not like the way YOU would pronounce it is the way Vietnamese would pronounce it, so I don't see why either way is correct.
37I like Cindy. I thought she did well.
And yes, haus,i did mostly watch to see what she's wearing. I really liked that shade on her and I thought she looked beautiful.
38haha Em! I know, time to get used to it!
Wow Janneth, you can be pretty nasty... what has she done to you??
39kas - shoot now i gotta go catch it!!
40No, the Vietnamese say Naahhm.
41"Next stop is Vee-et-naaaaam". -Country Joe and the Fish
shoot i missed her outfit. oh well!
42oooh turqoise! i like it! i wonder why she chooses cool colors...
43Here he comes!
44Cause she so cool. Did this dress cost 3 thou like the one the other night. But they not be elite!
45Mama's boy! I love it
His mom is pretty awesome.
46I'm fired up and ready to go! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_zWbsJr45k&eurl
47wow he WAS a good looking young man now he is an ugly old man
48Yeah, too bad we can't all be as handsome as Barack...
49and on that note, I am out!
