Day 2 of DNC

Quotable moments of day 2 of the DNC:

Casey:
John McCain calls himself a maverick -- But he votes with George Bush over 90 percent of the time. That’s not a maverick – it’s a sidekick.
Warner:

You know, folks always ask me, "What's my biggest criticism of President Bush?" Now, I'm sure you've got your own, but here's mine.

It's not just the policy differences. It's the fact that this president never tapped into our greatest resource: the character and resolve of the American people.

Clinton:
Well, John McCain says the economy is fundamentally sound. John McCain doesn't think 47 million people without health insurance is a crisis. John McCain wants to privatize Social Security. And in 2008, he still thinks it's OK when women don't earn equal pay for equal work.
Clinton:

So how do we give this country back to them? By following the example of a brave New Yorker, a woman who risked her lives to bring slaves to freedom along the Underground Railroad.

On that path to freedom, Harriet Tubman had one piece of advice: "If you hear the dogs, keep going. If you see the torches in the woods, keep going. If there's shouting after you, keep going. Don't ever stop. Keep going. If you want a taste of freedom, keep going."


Great speeches Dems, esp. you Hill!
