I hope she gets a good bounce after her speech at the Convention- she really hit it out of the park.

1. On Current-TV Al Gore...

....said (paraphrase) "it looks like we have a new star". Now that is paraphrasing but he meant she has the moxy for leadership in the congress & maybe more.

I thought she did a great job, had a great attitude & was a wonderfully nice person.

I could not find a link to the video but Al & the whole crew were very impressed.

3. That's very good news. I hope that translates into more on-air time for her.

2. Did you notice that she brought Joe Biden to tears?

Watched PBS last night. Both Biden and I were teary eyed. (camera focussed twice on Joe during her speech)

There is a DUer who is willing to match donations. (in another thread, one of very many Duckworth threads.)

I am a huge fanboy. She is Presidential material. Too bad she was born in Thailand.

She is incredible and is shaking things up big time. Many here won't like her because she talks bipartisanship. But as one who grew up in the fifties and sixties, when there was actual bipartisanship, I have to support that concept in spite of the fact that I am a filthy liberal socialist.

4. I saw Joe Biden and some on the floor had a few tears.

Wow, that's great of the DUer matching funds- I'll find the post and bookmark.

Thanks for the heads-up.

5. Tammy Duckworth is a natural-born American citizen. It doesn't matter where

she was born or that her mom is Thai. Her dad is American.

6. I heard her speak at an

Illinois Democratic Women's convention several years ago. It was before she was well-known outside the state. She was wonderful.

7. She really is wonderful and would be a great asset for IL. I hope we send Walsh packing.
