I have watched the videos of the speeches….and I am impressed…..the Dems were on message more so than the Repubs…..they made the cases of why Romney sucks…….unlike the GOP whose best line was Obama Sucks…..not in so many words but the implication was there…..

The first night speeches were beautifully orchestrated…..Mrs. Obama gave a helluva speech….emotional yet hopeful…..she has a compelling story….I personally liked the story about the 2004 convention when the Prez gave a keynote speech but had to leave the convention early because his credit card was maxed out….that we all can relate to….

Next was the speech by Julian Castro……..the mayor of San Antonio gave a masterful speech perfect delivery…another compelling story…..but beyond that….he is the face of the Dem Party in coming years……I see him and Deval Patrick going at it in the near future…..

Night two……I watch the vid of Warrens speech….to me, my personal opinion, she gave a good speech but sounded more angry than hopeful….I am not saying I did not agree with what she had to say….just that it was a stump speech and not a convention speech……she gave a adequate speech…..

Now to Bubba, Pres. Clinton, what can we say….Bubba was Bubba……NO body can give a speech like Clinton!  The best speech I have ever heard!  Boy can the man ad lib……absolutely NO body can distill complex issues down to the comprehension of anyone willing to listen…..Brilliant!

The last night was, IMO, all about the troops and the veterans.  The Dems did something that the GOP forgot to do…..thank the vets for their contributions to freedom…..this was a big mistake by the GOP…….

Biden–Joe was Joe….his speech was authentic and like his role of attack dog, he succeeded…he reminded all of the Prez work and the GOP obstructionism….I personally, do not think it was Joe best speech but it was effective….I love Joe…….

Pres. Obama a very good vision speech…….a speech that should rev up the base….a promise of a better future….and he will get my vote because of one thing and one thing only…..he did not forget the troops or the vets……he thank them……. he acknowledged their contributions, something the GOP neglected to do……he touched on all the points that make the Dems who they are….gays, immigrants, the poor, he made his case to the people and it was very effective…..

Mitt got a dead cat bounce after the convention….the Dems should do much better…..In comparison, the Dems convention was heads above the GOP one……they took on issues, real issues, not the “trust me” issues of the GOP…..the one thing that I learned was that conventions in the future will most likely be a 2 day affair….we have seen the last of week long conventions.
