Turns out I would make a terrible political live-blogger. I wound up watching so much Democratic speechifying that I haven't posted here in days.
While I didn't find his acceptance speech as loftily inspiring as some of his earlier ones, I think that for what he needed to do, Obama knocked this one out of the (large, packed) park.
Meanwhile, today will go down as the day the McCain campaign jumped the shark. Or the polar bear, as the case may be.
Now, of course, the excitement (so to speak) moves to my back yard. Not sure yet what the extent of my involvement in that mess will be.
I agree on both counts.
1) The speech was impresive and did what it needed to.
2) (As becomes increasingly clear each day) McCain's VP choice has probably damaged his chances more than anything the Democrats could say or do.
