I think it's way too early to be having one though.
Why? You have to be on the ballot by September, so either now or the middle of August you have to have your convention.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Well if the purpose is to gain momentum heading into the election, 3 months and change is a little far off from the election, ain't it?Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui

Well the debates are better for that. Too many people tune out the conventions anyway and they are more often something for the party faithful and news junkies.
After all, the historic basis for a convention was to decide who should be nominated for President and to hammer out a platform. With the primary process, we have gone away from that.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Ok -- I had time to watch ten minutes of the convention at a little before 7:00 tonight (Tuesday).
I thought it was moving that a group of Amerindians (which tribe?) sang our anthem in their own language.
But now I'm scratching my head when I found out that Ron Reagan will be speaking later tonight. I realize the reason is that he wants to advocate for his family's position on stem cell research, but is he also a Democrat??A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

Ron Reagan is actually a pretty hardcore liberal, although he's apparently just going to be talking about stem cell research tonight. According to reports, he wouldn't be speaking tonight unless his mother gave her approval to him doing so though.Originally posted by MrFun

Ted Kennedy's speech was pretty good. Not nearly as good as Gore or Clinton's speeches (or maybe I'm too burnt out from all these speeches), but still fine."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.

I'm about sick of this 'yeah American crap.' I would rather hear Bush bashing. Of course if they talked about things that really matter that would be great.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

Good to know that Ron Reagan was not indoctrinated by his father to the extent that now as an adult, he can think for himself.Originally posted by Mordoch

Daschle, Gep were nothing all that special (Gep's was better though). So was Napolitano.
Dean's speech was great. Most emotionally powerful. Yay Texas and yay the democratic wing of the Democratic Party!
Obama's coming up now, this ought to be good."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "
