This is the reply I've been waiting for.
He took them on directly, and on the issues.
Way to go Joe!
MSNBC has the video up here.
I don't have a transcript, and yeah, its a weak diary. But this is a fantastic response. It's the top video (as of 3:13 CST)

Embed fixed, now I know what junk to leave out. Thank pmcmscot
It's not so much what I heard, it's what I didn't hear in the Republican Convention when you heard John speak last night. Or not so much what I heard when I heard part of what the governor had to say, the vice presidential candidate. It's what I didn't hear.
The silence of the Republican Party was Deafening! It was deafening on jobs, on healthcare, on environment, on all the things that matter to the people in the neighborhoods I grew up in. Deafening!
Ladies and Gentlemen, their America is not the America I live in! They see something different than I see. Ladies and Gentlemen, literally, though I can't swear to it because I didn't see every bit of every speech, but I asked my staff to check. Do anyone of you recall either candidate on the Republican ticker, utter the phrase "Middle class"? Did any of you hear them utter the phrase "Healthcare" and how we're gonna help? Did you hear them talk about aid to get kids to college? Did you hear them talk about aid to education? Did you hear them putting more cops on the street to make us safer? I didn't hear a thing...a thing.. about any of the things that matter to the lives of the people in my hometown of Scranton.
