  • Maybe EXXON deliberately allowed the Yellowstone River disaster to happen... Revenge?

  • The real deal.

  • This guy is a liar.

  • @MrWyoming67 yeah we have for more year then bush

  • @MrWyoming67 prove it conservative idiot!!!! I live here...and have seen nothing about wyoming that impresses me.

  • if he doesn't VETO this medical marijuana repeal bill tomorrow he is the biggest sell out ever and doesn't care one bit for the people of Montana... just because a few old politicians in Helena and some crazy conservatives don't agree with medical marijuana doesn't mean they can repeal something 62 percent of Montana voted in in 2004...VETO VETO VETO

  • Is he wasted??????he sounds like he's drunk.

  • He looks like the offspring of Elmer Fudd and Porky Pig.

  • the energy companies provide jobs fool.you homo loving liberals are fools,look at your messiah obama.whose ratings are dropping like a rock,

  • If this dude ever runs for president I will be the first in line to vote.

  • God bless Governor Schweitzer.

  • I agree. He seems like a good guy.

  • Fantastic speech!

  • Montana is much smarter than you think. They are neither blue or red - they just vote what they think is best. Not some redneck or liberal state. You're a fucking party-line idiot. We would never welcome you in Montana whether you're conservative or liberal.

  • I gather your an Obama pole sucker !! Sorry , didnt mean to bad mouth your God !!

  • Comment removed

  • This guy will not get elected in the next election.

  • You are clueless. He is extremely popular in Montana. He is a Democrat in a red state and won the election easily. You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.

  • You have no idea how popular he is here, everyone I know loves this dude. He isn't a politician.

  • @marceads

    His term limit is up. You are very intuitive.

  • I lived in Montana and this guy is very popular. so i am not surpriesed.

  • I am from Montana and everyone who is republican in my class for some reason when we had a class poll all voted for Gov Schweitzer so that has to say something to all you guys

  • I love him and his bolo tie.

  • WOOHOOOOO! This man tore the roof off!! Let's make him president in 2016!!!

  • He have a position in Obama's cabinet

  • From what I heard, Obama was offering him Energy Secretary, but he turned it down

  • "If you drill in all of John McCain's backyards, even the ones he doesn't know he has..." - BURN.

  • did you all drink the Koolaid or something? are you aware of what kind of politician this guy really is?

  • No kidding. I am from MT and this guy is a joke. He comes of as extremely cocky but I think that is just a defensive mechanism because he is not very intelligent.

  • I hope you all know his own family did not vote for him and they know him best! If they dont vote for him obviously he is not the right choice for montana!

  • Do you live in Montana?

  • This man fired up the evening. He was terrific. I hope he stays on the national political scene. We need Democrats like this man to have more influence outside his state.

  • haha, this is just like the movie Idiocracy.

  • What an impressive speaker! The more I hear from the Democratic platform, the more I'm convinced they are the right choice.

  • That was just real talk from a real dude!!! Has anyone noticed that EVERYONE who speaks on behalf of the Obama-Biden camp is about specifics and substance and not about fluff?!?!?!

  • Talk about a straight-shooter! Nobody tells it like a rancher from Montana! No bull...just the truth... Schweitzer is brilliant on Charlie Rose, too! Keep fighting for the good guys everyone... OBAMA/BIDEN '08!!!

  • YES! HEIL SCHWIETZA!!!!!

  • One of the best speeches of the convention.

  • yes we can he was great obama/biden yes we can

  • 2016 VP under Biden?

  • I dont think Biden can win the presidency. My suspicion is that if obama wins, he will trade up for hillary in 2012.

  • that would be the dumbest political mistake for hilary ever and it would look terrible for Obama if he drops his VP especially after winning with him I would put alot of money down betting if Obama did win Biden would be on the ticket in 2012 and run for president in 2016

  • I agree, unasman, but how old will Biden be in 2016? Will he have the same old man issues that McCain has? Schweitzer just said he wasn't looking at national politics he just wanted to stay in Montana but you know how those guys play coy. If Obama tapped him for a cabinet position, I wonder if he'd change his tune lol. We need all that progressive alternative energy not sanctioned by the "drill baby drill" oil companies.

  • I really like this guy. I bet he would have turned a few more red states blue if he was the VP candidate

  • As an Independent from West Virginia this guy really appealed to me. I loved his intusiactic speach! Great comments on energy.

  • great speech, too bad the media didn't cover this guy, I keep hearing moron Americans who say "we need to drill",

    go for it, it won't do any good, just a passive glance of the facts will tell you that. It really scares me how dumb some Americans choose to be.

  • Shoulda watched the convention on C-Span. They covered everything, without all the meaningless commentary.

  • hes from my home state and made it powerful damn right he knows whats going on in the united states if you vote for obama you will end up just like montana and montana might have the most powerful economy in the union if this guy is still in office(which in polls hes ahead by alot of votes)

  • Such a good speech, and so much better than keynoter Mark Warner- "I got in on the ground floor with cellphones." WTF??

    Everyone was talking about this speech so I had to see it for myself. Thanks for posting politicstv!

    What are you republicans afraid of? Vote for change and give someone with NEW ideas a chance... face it he cannot possibly, in a million years do more to destroy the constitution, abuse the military or ruin the economy that that dry drunk of an idiot bush.

  • HE WAS GREAT!! very down to earth. Please people register to vote.

  • An AMAZING speech. Probably the best of the Convention. Maybe he should have been chosen as VP? Great stance on energy. 4 More Years? Absolutely NOT.

  • Obama is a great speaker but just like McCain he is supported by the elite and change wont happen on his watch.The banks and corporations are in control of the US.

  • Habizabusa

    Because of the banks?

    Get rid of the federal reserve and their power will be gone.

  • I want to tell you something very clear: Don't worry about

    American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people,

    control America, and the Americans know it."

    - Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, October 3, 2001.

  • "even if you drilled in all of mccains backyards... even the ones he dousnt know he has!"

  • LOL..love it...

    Obama/Biden 08'

    US Marine for Obama!!

  • Hands down the best speech of the convention...so refreshing to hear a politician that speaks from his heart!

  • Is this guy nervous of what? He can't stand still...keeps shifting back and forth.

  • Maybe the best speech of the entire convention... it was funny, and fun, and real, and moving, and straight forward.

  • man that was a nice speech im only 20 but im sure is watchin the dmc 2 nite its gonna be history guys

  • cute, little weird man, but wise words are coming out of his mouth!

    obama 08!

  • Type this into the youtube search:

    watch?v=QcDiQF0KS40

  • Call him a corn pone idiot if you want but don't let his looks fool you. He is sly like a fox and manages to get what he wants in the end. The Republicans in Montana hate him with a passion. I know I live in MT and he does a great job for us.

  • My postings may not have conveyed what I was writing. This is a great speech. I wish he was our governor in Nebraska. He makes sense, stop dependence on foreign oil, stop rewarding the rich and the speculators. Obama in '08!

  • nice try patsagainst rats

  • Brian Schweitzer for Secretary of Energy in Obama's Adminstration!

  • this guy's a hoot. hope to see more of him in the future.

  • Awesome!

  • We need Americans to get over their prejudice and elect Obama President. Is it worth 4 more years of the same policies just because of race. Wake up America. Stop wallowing in your ignorance and vote for the party candidates who will make your life and the rest of the nation better.

  • Now why do you have to go and ruin a good thing. Everyone I know, and even recent newscasts speak about Obama's politics. The race thing isn't even mentioned, as it SHOULDN'T be. We all look past it, yet, even in support of Obama, your comment about race comes out of nowhere, and can only be perceived as negative. How about we get over talking race... oh wait, we were, you just felt the need to throw a pity party invitation out there. Sorry no one showed up.

  • OBAMA-BIDEN '08

  • I like this governor

  • dude, next time take a piddle before you go on stage

  • intelligent comment.

  • this guy is absolutely AWESOMEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I think we need more leaders like Schweitzer. He's an optimistic politician for bipartisan cooperation, has the charisma that got him one of the highest governor's approval ratings in the nation, and above all, he gets things done instead of just grumbling about it! He's a good supporter to have in this race.

  • OBAMA-BIDEN '08

  • That's because he's from Montana, a state that has a lot of farmland and very few cities. So get your facts checked again before you try and criticize someone.

  • hes from the west tard. How dare you try to relate the west with the south. Thats an insult to every westerner out here.

  • nice try.

  • This corn pone idiot -- is the guy who's helped Montana get a stable economy, begin developing and promoting alternative energy, given tax breaks to it's people -- not it's oil companies. The last time I checked Montana borders the Canadian border -- can't get much more north than that

  • Fox News is going ballastic because the DNC was so good.

    They are so mad that Obama picked Joe Biden, an AWESOME choice for a V.P.

    John McCain is already a weak GOP candidate and now even his V.P. will be weak compared to Joe Biden.

    McCain and company SUCK. McCain has the entire media working against Obama and he still SUCKS!

    OBAMA/BIDEN '08!

  • Or Sec. of Energy. Do we have one?

  • This man should be Sec. of the Interior!  What a barn-burner!

  • "I can't be sure how many homes i have at the moment!"

    During a recession, that one line is enough to make MCcain lose this election

  • Amazing speech!

  • what does he say that's factually incorrect? Can you prove he's wrong? No you can't. But great assessment though.

  • I'm always amazed that when you can't attack a persons facts (because they're accurate) or their character (because he's honest) the little people attack appearance. How shallow

  • schweitzer 2016!

  • Red Shirt, You deserve the kind of government you get, no matter what it is. Don't be proud, be ashamed of yourself. If you do not like the people running this

    government, (neither do I), get out and work for the people you want. We will not tolerate a Red revolution! Don't you know that there is no Utopia?! Wake up and `VOTE for someone.

  • Wake up and read, buddy. He just said he's not voting for either of the two MAIN parties. There ARE other options, you know, right? I'd watch my mouth and my literacy if I were you. It's short-tempered, near sighted folks like you that ruin the right to vote for whomever, not just one of the two MAIN parties. Get with the program.

  • Great speech - great delivery. I'm not voting for either of the main two parties but this was good stuff.

  • I've always been proud of Montana -- As a Montanan I've never been more proud than watching this. I voted for Governor Schweitzer 4 years ago, will vote for him this year!! Way to go Brian!!!!!

  • What a character! So animated! What a speech! Incredible!

    It took him a bit to warm up, but in the end he hit it out of the park! If I lived in Montana, I'd be voting for him!

  • Dear Montana,

    Your governor is awesome.

    That is all.

  • Couldn't have said it better.

  • No, PBS is the only one I watch. I loved this guy.

  • Saw this yesterday and this is my first time seeing him and he was quite a warm up speaker.Brian Schweitzer really had the audience in his hands.

  • The real key note speaker!

  • Brian Schweitzer is a good man, and he's been a great governor here in Montana. He is too humble, since he has also worked on international energy issues and speaks Arabic. Also, in political events here in Montana, he is invariably accompanied by his dog "Jag." Cool.

  • Notice as soon as he said "in the cheap seats stand up!" it cut to Bill Clinton. Lol! That was too funny.

  • LOL

    This guy rocks!!

  • He and Kucinich had fioery speeches and it's ashamed nobody put them on TV.

    Until Hillary's speech everybody seemed to have their tails tucked. Turns out there was plenty of attacking the GOP it's just that MSNBC and CNN didnt bother to air it.

  • Actually, several minutes into it, CNN DID cut to the speech,(it's coverage of it is here on YouTube) and I'm glad that they did. He was amazing, and although I like Mark Warner (who was the keynote speaker), Schweitzer OWNED him. i almost thought he would own Hillary, but in the end, I'd say they tied. Each speech was awesome.

  • OMG THIS GUY IS FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!!!!

    GREAT speech!

    i want this dude for pres!

  • this guy should be taking point on the sunday news circuit when it comes to Dem energy policy. We need someone with the balls to challenge all of the outright LYING going on about drilling. Newt Gingrich and Fox News whack-a-doo pundits are claiming that oil prices will DROP THROUGH THE FLOOR TOMORROW if we authorize drilling today. Our folks HAVENT CALLED BULLSHIT ! we argue the fine points and parse about on the specifics while desperate Americans cling to hope of the GOP/Oil Lobby lie.

  • This was a great and arousing speech; the communication between him and the audience at the DNC was clear and genuine. Smart move by the dems to get him to speak.

    Obama Biden 08!

  • Great speech... the Dems need a rural, Western, voice to help convince the country folks to vote for something other than Republicans. It doesn't help that he's energetic and entertaining as well. Damned fine speech; one of the convention's best.

  • While Bill Schweitzer was on at the convention, the talking heads at MSNBC were complaining about the lack of 'red meat.' Oh, how they would have been fed, if they could have just shut their mouths and turned the cameras were it meant something. I flipped it over to C-span, who has blown all of the networks out of the water when it comes to covering the Democratic convention.

  • Governor Schweiter should have been the keynote; he was awesome!

    I agree with you regarding MSNBC. I quit watching their convention converage Monday evening and started watching CSPAN. MSNBC pundits have continuously talked over good and important speeches just so that they can hear themselves talk about the same thing over and over again.

  • I've been a bit disappointed with MSNBC overall, but I absolutely LOATHE Fox. Their "Fair and Balanced" means bringing out Dems (disgruntled Hillary supporters) and Neocons: Karl Rove. I haven't heard one good thing about the Dem Convention from FOX, just every opportunity to emit slime ...which is just what they do, I guess. And as for CNN? ...who cares. C-Span is the only one where we can formulate our own ideas about the convention. That's the "Free press."

  • It's a shame the networks stepped all over this guy's speech, a fresh voice and face (Huckabee needs to share his gubernatorial diet plan with him) in the party and his words were right on. I hope Detroit got the message!

  • This man has renounced the Real ID Act. This man deserves to be enshrined for that except that I'm disappointed that he's advocating Obama (instead of Bob Barr or Baldwin) and some of the 1 world govt propaganda.

  • Every year, I watch the conventions and fall in love with one of the speakers. Schweitzer is my 2008 man-crush.

  • WOW This guy is pure energy. Awesome guy! Great speech!

  • very good speech

  • Sure. For a blind idiots like you everyone looks like a cow.

  • Yeah but an effete wimp like you would never say that to his face, so just keep typing away in mommy and daddy's basement, little doggie.

  • Sure I would. A little shove and that roly poly would roll down the street.

  • Yap, yap, yap. All talk. Bottom line is you'd never do it. I've known people like you all my life, couldn't knock the fluff off a cup a cup of cappucino if they had to do it themselves. If you could, you'd be in Iraq right now at least.

  • So he says sitting anonymously behind a keyboard. LOL

  • Yeah but I wasn't talking about fighting anybody myself. You're the one insulting somebody out of nowhere. I just said you'd be too cowardly to do it to their face, and you would. See, I'm an internationally competitive combat athlete, I don't need to talk tough. I will call somebody out when they're being a coward though.

  • Who are you kidding? You're being disingenuous. This has nothing to do with me talking sh!t on the internet.  If it had been Cheney and I said the same thing, would you be making a stink?

  • Well, I know this, I wouldn't say anything about Cheney's appearance the way you did about Schweitzer in the first place.

  • Obviously my insult was not meant for Schweitzer.  It was to douse with water the fiery passions of the naive ideological politicos that believe all this convention bs.

  • To douse with water?

    Hmm, probably because Schweitzer was on fire? yeah, baby, you heard me.

    You don't have a single political peg leg to stand on when it comes to criticizing such a great man and speaker... a true thinker.

    Instead, you resort to 2nd grade elementary name-calling.  I would reckon you more hurt your "case" than helped it.

    You simply verbalized the ignorance which supersaturates that closed-up mind of yours.

  • Schweitzer is a blue dog democrat. He is nothing like Obama who is really very liberal posing as a moderate to appeal to the masses. Whereas Schweitzer may make a decent politician, Obama would not.

  • and he looks strangely a lot like Tim Russert

  • His physicallity kind of resembles Frank Caliendo doing George Bush, no...?

  • Gah, this just reminds me of how much I love Schweitzer.

  • he was quite lively... awesome original style

  • That's an animated dude

  • so down to earth, real, honest...great guy. a leader.

  • That was the best speech of the night including Hillary.

  • wow and I am really impressed ! Wish he was one of our choices !

  • Oh man, this guy should run for president in the future.

  • best warm-up speech of the night. no thanks to NBC who talked over it while commenting about how he was rilin' up the crowd so well. they finally cut to it for like the last 10 whole seconds when old timer Brokaw finally demanded it. i'm recording CNBC w/o the talking heads from here on out.

  • Excellent speech,

    Should've been keynote speaker.

  • Fantastic!

  • anybody attacking Schweitzer as Foley or criticizing the way he is ,is missing the point.dont attack the messenger,just listen to the sensible talk.he made so much sense.John Mccain wants an absolutely false solution which is drilling,even if we start drilling now,we wont see the effects for atleast 10 more years.and senile grampa mccain lies as if we will start seeing the effects of drilling in a month or so.but I guess he can lie all he wants cuz he was a POW.Mccain is a shame

  • Even though he is the governor of a small state...Brian might be president some day.

  • Excuse me? I hope you meant small by population means. Because Montana takes up the 3rd largest amount of land in the lower 48, and is the 4th largest state of them all.... Alaska, Texas, California, then Montana. because when you're as great as Montana, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd don't matter, you just know you're great.

  • Yes, I am well aware of Montana's size, which is combined with few people to make a state with lots of big empty spaces.

    I miss Montana!

  • Great speech. Would vote for him any day.

  • Amazing speech. Had some of the old-time political passion and charm that is normally so lacking these days.

  • I'd vote for Matt Foley if he was an energy expert.

  • Oh dear - on this day, I am very proud to be a Montanan. Love him!

  • This was quite the speech. I thought he took the night along with him, until Hillary showed up, and floored me. Great night.

  • HAHA! Loved the speech but you are so right... definitley Matt Foley-esque.

    While I was watching he seemed to remind me of an info-mercial pitchman.

  • Loved it! He makes good sense. We can't drill our way out of this.
