"LIVE" from "the Night!"

Big night here for the MuscleHeads... Faith will be speaking with MTV through the night, Baldwin is wandering around St. Paul somewhere, and the live blogging that we've been pleased to offer you for every night - of both conventions continues here...

AND here's your chance to be part of it - as we introduce the largest live group blog ever. Here's how it works:

During the night tonight if you wish to contact me through facebook chat or through my IM screen name (RadioKMC on AIM) just shoot me a thought. If your observations are not laced with profanity - they will end up here on the LIVE Blog tonight.

So grab your laptop and let's get started...

11:25pm - Colleen: "Right on! McCain is self-less unlike Obama who is full of himself! McCain seeks the best for the country, while Obama seeks the best for his campaign! What a speech McCain gave - he took the high road, encouraging Americans to make this a better place and saying that he would rather lose an election than lose a war. McCain's the ultimate American war hero and patriot, indebted to his country and countrymen who saved his life, saying he finally found a cause greater than himself - his country - meanwhile Obama's wife disparages America by saying the first time she was ever proud of America was when her husband ran for President! There is simply no contest."

11:05pm - Michelle: "Character, honor and integrity oozes from this simple man?s speech..."

11:04pm - John McCain: "We don't hide from history, we make history!"

11:03pm - Michelle: "This Man...He just talks to your heart...THIS IS EXPERIENCE...THIS IS WISDOM...TRUE HUMILITY...He is making me cry. His speech is much more substantial that that polished one we heard from Obama. McCain/Palin the David in the David versus Goliath story."

11:02pm - John McCain: "NOTHING brings greater happiness in life than to serve a cause greater than yourself!"

11:01pm - John McCain: "My country saved me, and I can not forget it, and I will fight for her, as long as I draw breath so help me God!"

11:00pm - John McCain: "I wasn't my own man anymore - I was my country's!"

10:59pm - Elaine: "What an honorable man and a Hero!"

10:58pm - John McCain: "But I TURNED it DOWN!"

10:56pm - John McCain: "I didn't FEEL so tough anymore... I was beginning to learn the limits of my independence... those men saved my life!"

10:55pm - John McCain: "I've been an imperfect servant of my country but a servant I have been past, present, and always... and I thank God for privilege."

10:54pm - John McCain: "Instead of fighting over who gets the credit, let's share it."

10:53pm - John McCain: "I have that record and the scars to prove it (of reaching across the isle)... Senator Obama does not!"

10:52pm - John McCain: "We have to catch up to history, and we have to change the way we do business in Washington."

10:51pm - John McCain: "I will draw on all my resources, and do all I can for a stable and enduring peace!"

10:51pm - Michelle: "McCain just hit it in the head. The key difference between him and Obama: HE IS PREPARED."

10:50pm - Elaine: "He is really talking like a President.He is prepared to be the leader of the Free World."

10:49pm - John McCain: "We have many grave threats in this world, but I'm not afraid of them... I'm prepared for them!"

10:48pm - John McCain: "The brave people of Georgia need our solidarity and our prayers. We can't turn a blind eye to aggression..."

10:44pm - John McCain: "We're gonna stop sending 700 billion dollars a year to countries that don't like us very much, we'll attack the problem on every front, we'll drill here and we'll drill NOW! We'll build more nuclear power plants, we'll encourage the use of flex-fuel and hybrid..."

10:44pm - John McCain: "I WANT schools to answer to parents and students... and when I'm president they will!"

10:43pm - Elaine: "He is hitting every major talking point of every major issue that America is concerned about today. Amen to helping bad teachers find another line of work."

10:41pm - John McCain: "Education is the civil rights issue of this century! Equal access to a public education has been gained. But what does it profit you to an equal access to a failing school!"

10:38pm - Elaine: "compare and contrasts good for America to hear..."

10:37pm - John McCain: "We believe in letting people keep the fruits of their labors... We believe in a culture of life... Personal Responsibility, Rule of Law, and Judges who judge impartially and do not legislate from the bench!"

10:36pm - KMC: Back to basics... best call all night!

10:35pm - John McCain: "We lost their trust! And rather than reform Government - both parties made it bigger. We lost their trust, when we valued our power over our principles!"

10:34pm - Michelle: "'what you fight for is the real test.' Now that is REAL talk ? la McCain the Maverick!"

10:33pm - John McCain: "What you fight for is the true test!"

10:32pm - Elaine: "His kind of strength, His Kind of wisdom His kind of backbone is what we need in the White House."

10:31pm - John McCain: "I fought for a different strategy and more troops in Iraq when it wasn't the thing to do! And when the pundits said my campaign was finished, I said, 'I'd rather lose an election than to see my country lose a war'!"

10:30pm - John McCain: "I will make them famous - and YOU will know their names!"

10:30pm - Elaine: "I love his smile, it comes from his heart!"

10:29pm - John McCain: "I work for YOU!"

10:28pm - John McCain: "CHANGE IS COMING!"

10:26pm - John McCain: "I can't wait to introduce Palin to Washington."

10:24pm - Democrat protesters again - I know the Dems are all snickering but did a conservative do anything similar to their convention... KEEP IT UP - the base is alive and energized!

10:22pm - KMC: "Being an American, is the most precious affiliation..."

10:19pm - Marcus: "if i'm mccain, i'd stay away from a backdrop that features green ... it didn't work well for him last time around."

10:18pm - Democrat protestors break into the convention - CLASSY!

10:14pm - KMC: I count my blessings every time I see McCain reach his hand upwards!

10:13pm - Elaine: "God Bless John McCain!"

10:08pm - Elisa: "More to Life than Self words to live by..."

10:07pm - Alyssa: "I WANT to be Sarah Palin..."

10:07pm - Adam: "I don't care WHAT happens to the country: Sarah Palin is a hottie!"

10:05pm - Elisa: "what a family Heritage McCain has!"

10:04pm - JoAnn: "Is finally excited about this election. I LOVE Sarah Palin!"

10:00pm - Michelle: "YES, "WE EARNED OUR WEALTH" just like the Obama?s. Not all Republicans are born with silver spoon. I hope that the Maverick/Barracuda ticket convey a lot of that message because the Dems use that as a classic argument. Bogus!"

9:58pm - James: "I hope McCain is kidding when he says he'll ask to tone down the partisan rancor...the rancor is so much fun... Today...CBS says race is tied. Prediction for tomorrow...Rasmussen has McCain/Palin up 5...

9:55pm - Michelle: "Amazing! Cindy McCain just mentioned Rwanda. The one thing that Clinton regret helping...and look...Cindy helped. I hope the people remember how Clinton failed this part of his foreign policy. Take a good look. This woman and Sarah Palin did more than Michelle Obama. What did Biden?s wife do? I don?t even remember"

9:54pm - Ken: "Palin's going to make a GREAT VP!"

9:53pm - Joy: "I think a candidate should be voted for based on qualifications... not smooth tongue, and slick words... been there, done that... enough of that."

9:51pm - Eric: "Palin's TV ratings match Obama's with four less networks covering it!"

9:42pm - Elisa: "I loved the movie Mrs McCain is something else!"

9:39pm - Cindy McCain: "If only the federal government would get themselves under control, and OUT of our way!"

9:38pm - Michelle: "Cindy is tough woman who is not afraid to roll up her sleeves. I cannot believe how these Liberals pick on her suit last night, whom I think she paid with their hard earned money (she has Masters!). That is why we are Republicans! We dream big and do big things! It doesn?t mean we do not know how to connect to those who earn less. Man, what is wrong with us? Ageism, Sexism and then Envy! Why can?t we just be happy for people who want to make a difference regardless of the package?!"

9:47pm - Cindy McCain: "I think John was a HERO!" (crowd goes nuts!)

9:37pm - Cindy McCain: "Nothing has brought me more joy than that of being a mother!"

9:34pm - KMC: I'm loving these tribute videos to the women of the campaign - the ones to Sarah Palin was so good, and the one to future first lady Cindy was equally touching. Talented, accomplished - and sooo compassionate... things you would not learn otherwise!

9:31pm - Michelle: "you know, these commentators keep harping on how much we know about this and that about McCain...some of us who are in international waters, or younger generation...do not know all the details about McCain (or even Cindy)."

9:07pm - Lindsay Graham: "If Barak Obama can not appreciate the fact that our troops are winning in Iraq, he shouldn't be their commander in chief.

A slow start but a great end
A decent speech. Not the best I have ever heard, but substantive and McCain did well. The policy goals were good one. I very much liked the ending. It was moving and personal.
Baby Karl writes: Thursday, September, 04, 2008 11:27 PM
The end was INSPIRING...
And one of the best closes of acceptance speeches I've heard.
Virginia Patriot writes: Thursday, September, 04, 2008 11:50 PM
Did You Listen?
Migrant workers are American??
No, they are illegal aliens if they did not get a visa.

We're going to make up the difference if someone loses a higher paying jod and has to take a lower paying one????

Socialism-lite, with a side of amnesty.

GOP-RIP

Va Pat
I caught it too but we stopped it twice and we can stop it again..if the GOP gets the majority they aren't going to be brave enough to go against the people. It's the Congress we need and they could have coat tails. I believe
God is in control and He will give us the
government I hope we don't deserve.

The key is we HAVE to vote down ticket and we HAVE to stop Obama..he and the marxists in the
DNC heirarchy are our enemies.
Joe writes: Friday, September, 05, 2008 12:15 AM
Virginia Patriot--I get it
But we can stop illegal immigration without coming off as rail yard bulls. That is the part you do not get.
Virginia Patriot writes: Friday, September, 05, 2008 12:23 AM
No Joe You Don't Get It
The last amnesty CAUSED the current 30 million illegal aliens!

John McCain thinks doing that again is a good idea. Doing the same thing over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity. Enforcement of the law is the only way we get to keep the rule of law and our sovereignty.

McCain doesn't get it and you don't get it. hasta la vista, estados unidos.
Baby Karl writes: Friday, September, 05, 2008 12:31 AM
Va Pat - don't lie...
He said the "daughter" of a migrant worker... (Admittedly likely an anchor baby...) but NOT the migrant worker none-the-less.

But VaPat - OBAMA is an unacceptable alternative - and in fact a truly dangerous option.

Can't do it.

HAVE to support McCain - and work to get him to listen to the base...

BTW - He DID listen to the base on VP. My contacts were telling me that he was doing all he could to vet Lieberman or Ridge... and that would have been disaster for the base.

Palin was the best choice of all on the table. And he listened to the base.

We can get him to listen on the border as well.

Just you wait!
