We take note of the coverage and criticize the coverage, too, not just the arrogance of talking and not showing the current person on stage but some of the silly things that are said (often by people in Washington for far too long..).

The coverage has frequently been poor. Not only Fox (I haven't been watching Fox) but also CNN and here in Detroit metro I've simply been watching PBS, who shows all or nearly all that is on stage.

I hope Bill Clinton does a good job tonight and don't mind if he strays from the “script” and attacks the Republicans on the economy (the 1990s included a bubble but the economy is now in worse shape than it has been and Bill Clinton could even engage in psychop and say it's “like father, like son” as far as Bush economies are concerned).

There is nothing wrong with appreciating criticism from the “other side” when it is accurate, and maybe someday you'll learn to appreciate it.

While I and others were trading one or two remarks (that was all, not continuous barbs or sniping) about Hillary's speech last night (“pathetic”; “get the hook”), we all loved Schweitzer, who rallied the crowd, which should have been the object of every speech last night.

Bill Clinton is not the only big-name speaker tonight; don't forget Joe Biden. He's going to be the most important other speaker and is anticipated to do some good McCain- and Republican-bashing. It's overdue!

Good luck; they now need it.

That would assume that anyone actually watches the conventions. They don't. They watch the coverage. Regardless of whether or not Clinton's speech was good (I think it was as good as any of her other speeches), it doesn't matter, because it's getting positive coverage everywhere but Faux News.

Last night at the convention was nearly 100% a waste of time. It needs to be much better tonight.

The Kool-Aid drinkers can engage in all the fiction they want and claim how great her speech was, but it wasn't; it was lousy, and all the lies to the contrary won't change it.

The Dem voters certainly chose the much better and more appealing candidate this year, that's for certain.

Can the Dems rescue the rest of their convention besides Obama's speech on Thursday? We'll see tonight. Good luck; they now need it.

What was absent? A strong proclamation of Obama's abilities and experience, and discussion of issue positions, and a criticism of McCain's abilities and experiences and discussion of his issue possitions.

What was there? A call for Democrats to unite, a condemnation of the Bush administration (Bush isn't running in 2008 BTW Hil) and a moving account of how the woman's movement has progressed.

If you took out Obama's name from the speech and inserted another democrat it would have still fit. There was nothing really special about it, excepting the area of the woman's movement.
