Hour 1
Segment 1–16:00
Cenk hosting from Current’s NYC studio today. Recapping the DNC speeches last night that hit Mitt Romney from every angle. Quotes from Martin O’Malley’s speech that went after him. Lilly Ledbetter spoke. Deval Patrick and Ted Strickland took a 2×4 to Mitt’s head. Their words almost made Cenk believe they may be Progressives.
Segment 2–22:00
Videos of Julian Castro’s keynote speech last night. Videos from Michelle Obama’s speech. Old footage of Lenore Romney speaking about how George Romney was on welfare and needed some help to get going when he first came to America. Bill Clinton previewed parts of his speech for tonight’s DNC. Cenk thinks the Dems should push the line, “Yeah, the Republicans built that deficit.” Some Dems on Sunday shows bumbled the simple answer to ‘Are we better off than 4 years ago?’ Virgil Goode and his candidacy in Virginia. Him being on the ballot could cost Romney the state.
Segment 3–15:00
