Well the convention is off with a bang.  As usual there was a seemingly endless steam of party loyals, telling everyone what they already knew.  Obama is the nominee and they all are gonna work together to help him win the election.

There were a few highlights of the day.  The first was the tribute and the appearance of Ted Kennedy.  He was his usual democratic lion that he has been for years and at times his speech was very emotional.  Next was the days keynote speech of Michelle Obama.  She had to address the convewntion and the country on who she is and who Obama is.  Sad that an American has to be pushed to this point, but she was and may I say she was Spot On!  She gave an excellent and insightful speech.

The finally highlight of the night was the 7 year old daughter of Obama, she stole the show at the close of the speech.  She grab the mic from her mom and basically went about interviewing her father.  A great convention moment.

I have one last thing to add about the first day of the convention.  Is it the Dem convention or a bipartisan convention?  I ask this because there were as many Repubs interviewed in the media as Dems.  I think the the Dem convention should be for Dems.  And I will be watching next week and the Repub convention to see how many Dems are interviewed by the media.

ON to day 2.
