Hope I can watch most of it...usually I am cooking dinner/eating between 5 and 7 but I think I'll make it simpler in the kitchen this week...

I've never looked forward to a convention so much in all my 54 years! Very proud to support a party and President who welcomes Nancy Keenan as a speaker at the convention!

I just feel that Romney and company will finish off this country for good...

This election is all about whether we move forward or backward. Very important to spread the word and get everyone out to vote!
