An Interminable Yawn

To second your reaction, I will just say YAWN. Up until Mark Warner, I thought I was watching rehearsals.  I kept thinking:  this is it? This is the Obama Convention? Thank the Obama campaign for their now apparent genius in deciding to have Obama accept the nomination in front of 75,000 people; the excitement involved will be necessary to wipe away the memories of these horrendously boring and sub-mediocre speakers.

This is 2004 redux, where Kerry's convention bored in comparison to the excitement and unexpectedly partisan tone of the Bush convention. I just hope things get better.

I know I'm not a Democrat, but so far this convention - apart from Michelle - has helped me remember why.
