Anyway, I noticed during both speeches there were interuptions by these woman running down the steps in the convention center taking their clothes ( and wigs I think) off. I didn't' realize the common demoninator of them all wearing pink until I was listening to C-SPAN this evening. The commentators mentioned and then showed clips of these folks. So I google them and found out that they and I quote:
[CODEPINK] emerged out of a desperate desire by a group of American women to stop the Bush administration from invading Iraq. The name CODEPINK plays on the Bush Administration's color-coded homeland security alerts — yellow, orange, red — that signal terrorist threats. While Bush's color-coded alerts are based on fear and are used to justify violence, the CODEPINK alert is a feisty call for women and men to "wage peace."

Anyway, to make a long story short, they were BY FAR the most entertaining portion of either of the speeches IMO. Don't believe me? Take a look
