As it happens:

  • Keeps jacket on, holds mike in hand.
  • Opens with: “We really are going to win this nomination, aren’t we!”
  • Says they have “regained” the momentum.
  • “Stand with us, to the very end, which is January [believe he said 5th], 2005.”
  • “We can regain the moral leadership that this country had held since the end of World War I to the start of the Iraq invasion … and we will.”
  • “This time we can have a president who really is a uniter, not a divider, and we will.”
  • “The biggest loss that we’ve had in this country since George Bush became president is our loss of community,” … our sense that “we are all in this together.”
  • “The president played the race card, and that alone entitles him to a one-way bus ticket back to Crawford, Texas.”

FOX cuts before the speech is complete …

Did he really say that? It sounds like a parody.

He said “January 20th, 2005” which would be inauguration day.

CNN carried the entire speech. I’m sure a transcript will be up on blogforamerica shortly.

Moral leadership after WWI? Wasn’t that when our stock market collapsed and we had to be dragged kicking and screaming into WWII?

Erm, what “Race Card” is he talking about? El Presidentes efforts to bring Mexico to the US? Something I missed?
