What a great co-incidence. I loved Michelle Obama's speech the other day, it was candid, frank, simple and to the point and reached the heart. I thought you also thought the same about her speech. Mr.Blitzer should get an Olympic medallion for his marathon newscasting at the DNC. I loved your azure tie Anderson. So what's it going to be today?? Looking forward to seeing you today Anderson and also listening in on Obama's speech. Take care now. Dear Anderson,

I remember how impressed I was with your interview of the women who thought everyone was alive and then to find out the oppossite!! OMG, that was horrible! You're compassion and professionalism was, and still is, above reproach. Our family are big fans, from me (48) to my daughters, 18, 13, 9 and 7 (yes her too!) to my son who is 16.

Hope you have some time to enjoy the mountains before you go on to the Minneapolis. The excitement there must be unbelievable. There seems to be an electricity in the air when you are in the center of a live event such as this or even a political rally. I'm fighting cynicism big time. I don't understand how delegates are giving their votes to Obama when Hillary Clinton won the state. I was watching the roll call and Massachusetts gave the majority of their votes to Obama. Hillary's speech was moving and reinforced my feeling that they picked the wrong candidate; at least they could have made her the vp. Some are criticising Anne Price-Mills for saying she may not vote. People don't understand that although your right to vote is important, some people feel who they are voting for is even more important. If you really believe in someone, you can't be expected to just give your vote away when you don't think that other person is right for the job. I thought Hillary's speech was great, but it was Ms Price-Mills who brought tears to my eyes. She was eloquent and expressed feelings that I share. I'm looking forward to President Clinton's speech tonight. By the way, how do you guys sit there so long without being stiff and sore at the end of the broadcast? They should give you more comfortable chairs! Hey Anderson

Hillary finally rose to the occassion. If she had spoken with that kind of determination last year, I would have voted for her in the primary. It's interesting to see how the candidates have grown and progressed. What if the delegates voted her as the candidate despite her support of Obama? Will history be made? I'll keep watching.

While I know that your main priority is to report to your direct audience (i.e., US), I was impressed with your larger world view in mentioning that Gustav, at that moment, was hitting Hispaniola and had caused deaths (at current count more than 20). Any tropical system--not just hurricanes--has the potential to cause wide-spread devastation and scores of deaths on this island, particularly in Haiti. I thank you for shining a bit of light on us! I also wish the best (meaning no hurricane hit!) to the people on the Gulf Coast of the US... I have extended family and good friends there (New Orleans and Mississippi) and want to see them remain safe. Holly Bembridge Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic Hi Anderson,

I was with my in-laws in small town Oklahoma with spotty cell coverage and CNN was, at times, my only connection to news on my parents near Orlando, weary from Hurricane Charley a few weeks before. Three years ago this weekend I watched the unbelievable aftermath of Hurricane Katrina on CNN. I think of the families that must be dreading the upcoming holiday either for fear of the present danger or recalling the still too fresh memories of hardships past. I sincerely hope I am not watching a disaster unfold in the US on TV again this year. My prayers are with those who have already been affected by Gustav and others who are watching and waiting.

And delegate Mills... It seems to me, at least common sense tells me if a person was truly a Hillary supporter, even though disappointed she is not the candidate, they would put their trust in her and back whomever she is backing. I would trust Barack if the situation were reversed. No, I wouldn't be happy about it, but I would do the right thing for the party and for the country. I hope Ms Mills will make the effort to know more about Barack and that regardless of whether she 'connects', I pray she does the best thing and what her beloved Hillary asked her to do. My prayers are with NOLA and everyonein the path of this latest storm. Take care and breathe deep !!! Marta Lynn Anderson ....

While I know I wouldn't have been happy if Barack wasn't the nominee, I would never consider not voting. No matter if you "conected" with the candidate or not. If you are a delegate for the democratic party, to me it would go without saying that you would at least vote in November. She mentioned that she couldn't "connect" with Barack. Maybe she should visit Barack's website, read what he's about, listen to him speak....maybe then she will find her connection. I truly hope she does. Hillary was awesome, Schweitzer was great...can't wait to hear Bill! Everyone in the Gulf is in my thoughts.....I just can't imagine what they must be going through at the thought of this possibly happening again. God bless NOLA!! Oh and Anderson....I hear Oxygen is a gateway drug....be careful!! ;-) Hey Anderson,

Pure oxygen has to be pretty good for you I'd assume. Keep our fingers crossed that the storm doesn't hit Louisiana again. Anyway, hope you have a good day, see you later. Hi Anderson,
