Excellent synopsis of the Democratic Convention.

Nice overview of a successful convention. I suggest reading it with Dave Barry's columns for the National Review for a balanced and more entertaining perspective.
Quoted: The Convention suggested possibility and hope even with the Bush Administration, arguably the worst in history, still in power, and with the Republican nominee’s poll ratings seeming to pop precisely when he resorts to the tactics of his old nemesis, Karl Rove. The sense of national drift is no longer a novelist’s overheated conceit.
Quoted: The Ohio governor, Ted Strickland, got off the best, unheard line of the Convention when he said that, unlike George H. W. Bush, who was born on third base and thought he hit a triple, George W. was born on third base and stole second.
Zing!

I would love to have a drink with the speechwriter responsible for this gem:
No kidding. Devastatingly accurate I'd call it.
