Now that Obama will be speaking inside before 21,000 partisans instead of an emotion-packed crowd of 80,000 outdoors, maybe he can focus more on logic and solutions, rather than relying upon raw emotion.

I thought the Obama campaign slogan was "Forward." Why are they rehashing the old crowd of Clinton, Kennedy and Carter? I guess they couldn't get anyone else to show up.

Clinton; worked across the aisle. Obama; has only reached across to slap or belittle the other side ("elections have consequences; I won"). Why are we gridlocked? Because presidents need to bring both sides together, not lock one side out and then wonder why they don't come running to his feet.

The Dems don't just discard their previous leaders like the Repubs did with Bush and Cheney (but in that case...)

Will Clinton be speaking some more regarding what he earlier referred to as Mitt Romney's STELLER performance at Bain Capital?

Romney would have had STELLAR performance at Bain, not STELLER. Clinton has an appeal to blue-collar voters who don't like the plutocrat Romney.

Funny, Obama has to reach back to the 1990's in order to try to convince people that CLINTION's policies were successful. Really, what does that matter. Clinton had a BOOMING economy when he was elected. He was smart enough to raise taxes when the economy was skyrocketting thanks to his predecessor. He raised taxes and the economy slowed, but since it was growing well, it was not a big deal. However, when Obama raises taxes during a Down economy, do you think the same slowing of the economy will hurt anyone? Of course it will. It will hurt the middle class who are layed off or not hired because of the tax increases on businesses. You would think it was an election between Clinton and Bush rather than Romeny and Obama the way the leftist continuall attack Bush and put Clinton on a Pedestal. BTW, remind me, what party was in congress when Clinton was president.

I can't imagine how anybody with a pulse can vote for Romney. He has so clearly displayed his lack of gravitas by constant flip flopping on every issue, his refusal to reveal his tax returns - (Obama has revealed his last 10 years). In addition Romney has no conception of how the 99% live and their problems and anxieties. Romney's worst problem is which tax shelter to hide his millions in. In short if you want a rich, superior, out of touch, tax avoiding, flipflopping Mormon who is not very closely acquainted with the truth, by all means vote the R&R twins into office.

"remind me, what party was in congress when Clinton was president."----------- Democrats controlled Congress the first two years when they passed deficit reduction, NAFTA, the motor voter bill, the Brady handgun registration bill, establishment of Americorps, the assault weapons ban, and money for the 100,000 "Clinton cops" for community policing. After those first two years, it was controlled by the GOP and pretty much gridlocked except for the passage of welfare reform.

By the way, the idea that the economy was booming when Clinton was elected is nonsense. Unemployment was over 7%, we had a then-record deficit and the motto for Clinton's campaign staff to remind them every day of the issue that would win the election for him was "It's the economy, stupid".
