Gov Schweitzer

Never heard this guy before. He is good. He is really revving up the crowd. I think he’ll be showing up some more over the next few years. So far of all the speeches I’ve watched, he is right up there with Kennedy and Michelle Obama from yesterday. None of the others so far have been memorable at all.

On those Kennedy was very moving. Just the fact that he was up there, but even not allowing for his health, he was rousing and energizing and put a lot into it. Michelle’s speech was good, although not something you will remember for long, but it did what it was supposed to.

I was not impressed by Casey earlier tonight.

Schweitzer was really good though. Maybe *he* should have been VP.

Anyway… Now here comes Hillary.

(By the way, I know I haven’t posted much… anything really… on the convention so far… but I am watching and listening to tons and tons of it, although I haven’t quite managed actually watching gavel to gavel on C-Span or anything. I’ve just been doing other things too, and haven’t been inspired to post much yet. Maybe there will be more before the two conventions are done.)

    I agree. I didn’t like Casey’s speech either. I didn’t like his approach to the topics he discussed.

    I’ll be watching Hillary’s speech tonight. I’ve been TiVo-ing the convention to be able to fast forward to the speeches.
    By the way… I don’t think I’ve ever been this interested in the process itself, and I think hearing you and Ivan talk about it every week got me interested in it.

    I should have mentioned I wasn’t impressed by Warner’s speech either, although I guess it was obvious by the fact I completely forgot about it minutes after it happened.

    Oh, and glad Ivan and I have been able to spark your interest. :-)
