The DNC

Anyone watch the Democratic National Convention over the week? It just concluded, and I think it went well. Thoughts, opinions?

Re: The DNC

unfortunately, I haven't seen too much of the convention, but I really liked what I saw. I saw most of John Edwards's speech, and I thought it was excellent. I really wish I was old enough to vote.

Re: The DNC

Unfortunately, the news of the night was this:

My dad came into the room asking if I was watching what was happening. Apparently they got they're signals crossed, and aired the directors feed at the end of the speech on accident.

Re: The DNC

I watched the key speakers every night, as well as one of Kerry's comrade's on the first night. I have to say they all spoke very well, and Barack Obama has a very promising future.

Re: The DNC

I watched most of it and found it really interesting, especially when they brought a couple people from other parties in and commentators on democrat vs republican chance for election. I've never watched a DNC before, so it was definitly cool to see. I would have liked to attend in boston.

Re: The DNC

Bill Clinton is a fantastic public speaker.

That is all.

Re: The DNC

Clinton by far did the best. He always was good, and always gets his point across and the crowd into it.
I also thought Kerry did a good job at getting his main points across, and showing what he wants to change.

Re: The DNC

Biggest problem with Kerry's speach is the fact that he didn't explain HOW, or go too deep into how. What would he change? Where will he pull out?

Good point. I have been thinking that all along, but no one else has seemed to notice that he has hardly backed up what he said he is going to do.
