It is official, Obama is nominated and has accepted the candidacy of president. Now his acceptance speech. A HELLUVA speech. The man was tough, ambitious and very presidential. Obama, as usual, delivered an excellent speech to the point that at times, IMO, he sounded like a State of the Union speech given by the president. He fired the open salvos at McCain and now it is on bitches!

But the media was the most disappoinmting part of the convention. Their coverage was solely for the ratings and at no time was it informative. I was expecting more out of Williams and Brokaw , et al. The viewer still does not have any idea the specifics of the platform, which by the way is 54 pages long. Nothing of the issues was important enough for them to cover, but what Romney, Guiliani and other Repubs was so important to the convention conversation that they got almost as much time as Dem surrogates.

Now on to St. Paul/Minneapolis and the Repub convention.
