Senator Joe Biden accepted the vice presidential nomination of the Democratic Party tonight and conventioneers were surprised with a special appearance by Senator Barack Obama to top off the third night
at the Democratic National Convention.

President Bill Clinton received an extended, thunderous applause from the crowd and gave the assembled delegates plenty to cheer about. Senators John Kerry, Evan Bayh and former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle also delivered speeches tonight.

Find those speeches and more here.

Tomorrow, we head to Invesco Field at Mile High Stadium for Senator Barack Obama's acceptance speech of the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.

It was so great to see the Kerry's again! The way John spoke was superb and it was so nice to see Theresa, she is wonderful! He was perfect as a powerful introduction for the Bidens!

Great speech John Kerry! It's 4 years later and you look better than ever!

Kerry was good last night. He's learned to trust his instincts when giving a speech.

After watching Hillary develop into a first class speaker also this spring, I've come to realize that practice doesn't really make that much of a difference. You just have to get out there and say what you believe and make sure your speech writers understand what that is or find new ones.

The comparison between the Republicans and the Democrats has never been so strong. We have been presenting an agenda for change.

They will do their usual BS hatchet jobs and tell people to be afraid...very afraid of everyone but them. This, after what the GOP has done to this country?

Do they really think voters will believe that McCain is selling something new and improved? Their product is tainted and fast becoming obsolete in the 21st century.

It's time to upgrade.

Okay, so Palin/Giulina was trashing Obama's as a leader with no experience, but McCain too does not have any experience.

Wesley Clark hit it on the button when he mentioned that McCain has never commanded an army.

In saving lives, Kerry has more experience than McCain in saving lives in open battlefield front.

I think Clark and Kerry needs to come out and let people know that McCain's record is not a record of complete leadership.
