Awww, they started off with questions from two cute kids. The questions were why do you want to be Senator and what experience do they have. Udall talked about his record and at the end mentioned a similarity between these two questioners and his own kids. Schaffer seemed to see that as an opportunity to go on for about two minutes about his kids. If that's the only qualification necessary, then I want to see some liberals start popping out those babies. Scahffer also seems to have downed his requisite 6 cans of Jolt Cola as his head is bobbing and weaving just like at during the Meet the Press debate.
Next question is on the economy and what it means for the taxpayer. Schaffer gives a nice simple explanation of devaluing currency by printing money. It was fine, good even. Udall goes on to explain why he voted against the bailout and what he wanted to see including regulation, injecting capital into banks, not Paulsons hands, and stopping golden parachutes.
At one point during either the first or second question, a camera cuts to Wadhams in the crowd. He look a little nervous.
Today was one of those memorable days you'll never, ever forget. Sometimes, you can have these days without any significant even occurring. Today wasn't one of those days.
The day stated off early, about 6:00 AM. Michele, Cedric and I were going to see Barack Obama at Denver University. The plan was to drive there, get there about 7:30 AM, and watch the speech at 8:30. That is so far from what happened it's ridiculous!
There is a moment in the life of every generation, if it is to make its mark on history, when its spirit has to come through. When it must choose the future over the past. When it must make its own change from the bottom up. This is our moment. This is our time. This is our message.
Barack Obama spoke to a huge crowd today in Denver.
The 8000 seats of the arena were filled, another 2000 people filled the basketball court where Obama did an early short speech, and then there were many thousands more who stood outside on the lacrosse field.
I recorded the speeches, and Maddogg from Daily Kos is hosting the one I made of Obama's speech here.
After the jump is my transcript. If you see anything I got wrong, or can make out the parts I couldn't, please let me know.
