I feel like sending JHud a big ol’ hug…extending arms toward Colorado…urrgh..oh well, good thoughts to her! I am a sucker for her whole striving hard, big voice, big girl, strangely vulnerable deal. Go Jennifer, that’s one for the history books!

Congrats Jennifer! ITA about Michelle, she’s my hero. If I could have an ounce of her regal presence, I’d be straight! JHud just blows me away with how big her career’s gotten.

I love the big OTT show that are political conventions. I want to see the Repub one too. I wonder if any Idols will pop up there as well?

Sarah and lilbrusc102… thanks! I love the convention season, too. I plan to check out Michelle’s speech online at some point today. Prolly when I have some privacy here at work. I could close my office door, but I hate to do that.

Yay Jennifer! That really is such an honor!

PJ you should look up Michelle Obama’s speech online…it was wonderful. And I agree, Ted Kennedy was very impressive…I felt so proud of him during his speech! Sigh, I love convention season….

Congrats here, also, to Jennifer, whose season I did not watch but who impresses me greatly with her abilities and her career trajectory.

And pj, Michelle Obama was absolutely captivating and wonderful.

I didn’t even see her season, but I feel proud of her. Plus, she’s a Chicago-girl.

I watched most of the convention last night on PBS b/c I don’t have cable. They interviewed Jimmy Carter and he’s really lucid for 82 years old! I was impressed. Say what you will about him, he’s really sought to make a difference in the world. Of course, Ted Kennedy’s speech was tres impressive, considering all he’s been through of late. I missed Michelle Obama, though, because of a phone call. My friend kept calling me a political geek when I tried to get off the phone. LOL.

Anyway, congrats to Jennifer!

Congrats.Wow, superstar.

Kind of astonishing to see someone’s career booming like this years after their season.
