  • Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland brought down the house with a crack about President Bush: "You know, it was once said of the first George Bush that he was born on third base and thought he'd hit a triple.

  • Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer revved up the crowd just before Hillary Clinton walked onstage, taking a swipe at Obama's Republican rival.
