UPDATE: Jim Doyle makes David Letterman's Top 10 List
______________
Here's the video of Gov. Jim Doyle's speech to the Democratic National Convention in Denver.
He's not exactly a dynamic speaker. He has both style and substance issues.
Doyle said, "My family, I think, was among the earliest to endorse Barack Obama. I'd say it happened about 5 minutes into the keynote speech he delivered 4 years ago."
Really?
Five minutes into Obama's speech at the convention in 2004, Doyle's family thought he should be the Dems' nominee for president.
Obama wasn't even a U.S. senator at the time, and Doyle's family thought he should be president. Obviously, the Doyle clan isn't big on experience.

Cheap shot at the Doyle family don't you think?
If I had adopted children who were black and I sat with them while watching a black man give an inspirational keynote address on one of the biggest political stages, I would imagine there would be some pride, inspiration, and hope in the room.
In fact, I was sitting with friends in 2004 watching the speech and we all were moved by Obama's style and message. I think I was the one who commented that he would probably run for President some day.
The bad news and the bad news:
Doyle gets A G USA spot to continue his criminal corruption activities on a grand scale.
Wisconsin gets the Socialist LtGov.
No, it's not a cheap shot at Doyle's family.
Doyle's statement was lame.
When I saw Obama's address 4 years ago, I was very impressed. I remember it being big on personal responsibility. Of course, his speech belied his liberalism and his extremism.
At the time, I thought Obama had potential for a long career as a Dem politician, but 5 MINUTES INTO HIS SPEECH I certainly didn't think he'd be the 2008 Dem nominee. He wasn't even a U.S. senator yet! No way would he be ready in 2008!
By the way, what's with the racial stuff? Can't you look beyond skin color? I was watching a politician speak that night, not a black man.
I agree, Dad29, that Doyle expects a place in an Obama administration.
In a way, Lawton taking over as governor briefly might help the Republicans win back the office in 2010.
All politics aside, Doyle should neither been seen or heard. Press releases only.
Great suggestion! :)
