10:07 pm- The music in this video sounds like the intro to Call of Duty or something else for XBOX.
WOO. Orson Swindle.
10:08 pm- This is absurd. His is a larger cause. Jeebus. I am actually looking forward to listening to him speak, if only to stop this video.

10:25 pm- Apparently dirty hippies are disrupting the place.
AND GREEN SCREEN WOO!
10:32 pm- This is painful. I would honestly rather listen to Sarah Palin be nasty, his delivery is so bad.

10:40 pm- This is not only the worst acceptance speech I have ever heard, but perhaps the worst speech by a major candidate in any race. The crowd can’t even figure out when to “Boo.”
10:49 pm- We are all moose now.
10:53 pm- “The constant partisan rancor…” Did he not watch his fucking running mate and the asshats who preceded her last night? Jeebus.
Channeling Forrest Gump- “Senator Obama does not (awkward smile.”
